With our liberal appointed Supreme Court I would guess any interpretation of treaties will come down on the side of aboriginal people, based on precedent. If one side of the treaty is invalid does that make the entire agreement invalid? I don’t think Ottawa can afford to invalidate the treaties. No treaties in BC and the FN their have claimed over 100% of the province. Best off to keep them on their little reserves and give them the harvesting, medicine cabinet and schoolin. IMO
