🇨🇦 RCN ship anchored in Nanoose Bay at CFMETR in traditional #snawnawas  Territory this morning.

The US Navy has civilian and military personnel at this joint base.

During the Salmon Wars of 1997, NDP Premier Glen Clark threatened to cancel the Provincial lease of the seabed, closing the military base. Feds were not happy. 😆

I wonder if Eby and Trudeau have talked at all about ways of temporarily shutting out the American contingent.

#Halalt #FirstNation near #Chemainus is seeking the #return of #land taken from its reserve for the #ENRailway in the early 1900s.
It earlier went to the #SupremeCourtOfBC asking for land taken for the now closed #railway . That #lawsuit remains active.
They said #SnawNawAs First Nation at #Nanoose is getting back 10 acres of Island corridor land running through its reserve & the province is putting in $18 million for consultation.
