Firstly, the Quw'utsun nation only sought for recognition of land held by the government, not private property. So your friend is unaffected.

Second, "Private property" is usually leased from the crown; in other similar cases in the past nations simply took over the crown's side of the lease, but the lease would remain. So that is probably what would happen here. In some cases the crown can break the lease, maybe the nation could too in such an agreement, I'm not sure.

this isn't really an answer to the question OP asked. Why that spot specifically? What might be the practical consequences? etc.

I think it's pretty rare for recent immigrants (first gen, and second gen to a lesser extent) to end up homeless in canada, since they usually are well off financially or have family that can support them. Impoverished people don't travel internationally. Most non-white non-indigenous people here have been here for only a few decades. Chinese and HK immigrants go back further, but it tracks as there are a number of chinese homeless too.

(Other ethnic groups also immigrated in past centuries but not to huge populations.)

Unlike the US, Vancouver doesn't have a large black population, and the latinx population is not huge either (I mean think about it, we have like 1 good mexican restaurant.)

I am not an expert, just hypothesising.

You're being a little overzealous here. cyber meant no ill will here, just acted a bit hypersensitively perhaps.

fortunately, OP is not a politician, doesn't have to worry about very contrived misreadings.

I have a good history of admitting I'm wrong online. I do so freely and frequently. In this case I don't believe I am wrong, so I will not.

GabeCube is a console and a PC.

You do realize this is just semantics right.

So what would Anarcho-Capitalism ball's reponse be to that?

It says ...and it's a PC as a header. What do you think is the part that is implied before the ellipsis? This is clearly to complement the reader's view of this being a gaming device (i.e. a console).

The Sims was a great game. And it had same-sex marriage from the sims 2 on (which is the first game that actually has a proper notion of marriage).

emphasis on "and." It's a console and a PC.

define "console." I daresay that the phrase "console" exists largely to mislead consumers into the expectation that they can't sideload apps and games onto their own device. Near as I can see, that's the only real difference. But I can sideload onto my hacked 3DS and switch, are they not consoles anymore? I can run android and linux on the switch too.

My hope is that this leads to some improvements to the docked experience for the steam deck. Docked modestill has quite a number of bugs unfortunately.

 

I'm feeling in the mood to throw my body behind a cause.
