The end is not nigh

The Supreme Court of Canada's decision, Tsilhqot'in Nation v. British Columbia delivered on June 26, 2014, was historic, with the Court making the first-ever judicial declaration of Aboriginal title in Canada. What this means exactly was the subject of much heated debate and frequently gloomy conjecture. First Nations leaders were elated, and some proponents of resource development were dejected. A few observers suggested that Canada was about to lose sovereignty over much of British Columbia, sometimes aided with inaccurate maps. This paper proposes to counter such alarmism.
