It seems like most of the commentators are unaware of the nuances of “Aboriginal title”, in Canada, and are interpreting the court decisions as if they were ordinary land claim disputes, for which there is ultimately a single “owner” of the land under dispute, rendering all other claims invalid. JFK Law tries to explain that treaty disputes are not like that, and nor for that matter is land ownership in Canada. The treaty negotiations are at the federal government level, above the provincial level, and does not necessarily impact what we think of as private ownership in the provinces. Instead of your title being a contract between yourself and the Crown, it could be between yourself and the Tribe and the Crown, or the Province and the Tribe. It is still being worked out.

JFK Law argues that the tribe is not seeking to displace established private land owners, but rather seeking to redress British Columbia’s violation of their Federal Treaty obligations, which grants Aboriginal title over certain land, over which the provinces have no jurisdiction. "Aboriginal title" does not mean that no other legal ownership exists. It does mean that the legal structure in the chain of titles is different, but does not invalidate private land titles, aka "fee simple ownership".
Aboriginal title and fee simple ownership are two distinct forms of property rights. Historically, in British Columbia, the Crown did not recognize Aboriginal title; rather, it assumed that it held title to the land and proceeded to grant those rights to settlers. This led to the exclusion of Indigenous peoples from their own territories throughout the Province. Cases such as the court case brought by the Quw’utsun Nation are about addressing these historical wrongs by the Crown and determining how these overlapping rights should be reconciled today.
…
In this case, the Quw’utsun Nation never asked the Court to invalidate the titles held by individual homeowners or private businesses and never tried to get those lands back. The Nation’s case is not about taking land from individual private property owners in the claim area.
The Nation has emphasized that they intentionally did not bring this case against individual private landowners or private businesses. In doing so, the Nation has in fact taken a respectful and responsible approach, aimed at reconciling their interests and those of the individual titleholders. Their case focused on holding the Crown accountable for its actions, not on challenging individual British Columbians.
Contrary to what’s being said by much of the media, the Court’s ruling does not “erase” private property. It does not mean that private property owners in the area over which the Court declared Aboriginal title no longer own their lands. Private fee simple interests continue to exist on these Aboriginal title lands.
So basically tribes in B.C. (at least) are suing the provincial government for having ignored Federal treaty rights for decades, and the remediation for that injustice has yet to be determined. The process could take another decade or two. In the end, it could mean that land titles are between private buyers and the Aboriginal Nation that holds the treaty rights over those lands, instead of with the Crown, or perhaps some combination of both.
“They allowed”, but then fired the chief of the department. Not exactly a signal for trustworthy reporting.
The negative jobs reports followed the longest yield curve inversion in U.S. history. Such inversions have preceded every recession since the 1960’s. And now inflation is expected to return with a vengeance, given the retarded tariffs, massive overspending, and resuming QE. So it’s looking like the perfect set up for stagflation.
When payroll processor ADP reported that the economy lost nearly 32,000 jobs in November, Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick scrambled to blame Democrats and deflect blame from President Trump’s tariffs. Trump himself fired the BLS chief over the summer because he was mad about the negative jobs data the agency produced. It’s not outside of the realm of possibility that Trump would put pressure on the agency to fudge better numbers.
Do you want connectivity for opening channels to your node? Or only for receiving payments?
If it’s just for payments, you can run Alby Lite on a VPS, connected to your node with NOSTR Wallet Connect (NWC).
If it’s for Lightning channels, you can use the standard Linux VPN, WireGuard, to connect your node to a VPS. But that’s an actual VPN, not “VPN-style”. Likewise, many people use Tailscale, which simplifies it.
It would be a handy utility to have a drop-in pair of apps that essentially sets up the necessary port forwarding for the Lighting, Electrum, Bitcoin ports, between a VPS and a node. “Lightning Proxy”.
I've been thinking that it would be amusing to setup a RageBait bot on NOSTR, that harvested the most potent ragebait from X, and posted it on NOSTR. It would probably generate a ton of traffic. 😅
"Some foreign media have recently reported on Hong Kong ignoring the facts, spreading false information, distorting and smearing the government's disaster relief and aftermath work, attacking and interfering with the Legislative Council election, provoking social division and opposition," the statement said.
Yeah it would be less authoritarian if they got their president to berate reporters, call them names, and refuse to answer questions, saying they're "fake news".
You should add another tutorial and FAQ section for creating markets. What I am wondering is:
- What is the incentive for creating a market and providing liquidity for it?
- If fees are earned, specifically what amounts, under what conditions, and when?
- Is one expected to bet in one's own market?
- Is creating a market the equivalent of placing a bet on the direction of the market?
I tried asking the AI chat bot, but it said the information is not available for Predyx, but offered info for Polymarket.
UPDATE: there are other legal opinions about this case, which are not so doom & gloom.

LOL three weeks before 2026, after JP Morgan did a 180 and offers a BTC leveraged fund, and Vanguard caved in and allows access to BTC ETFs, with sovereign wealth funds world wide accumulating, Merryn Somerset Webb still summons "tulips" as a proxy for her inability to think outside of the fiat paradigm. Shameless ragebaiting, or pathetic lack of imagination?
