If the treaty was negotiated between the Crown and the natives, then if Canada no longer represents the crown Canada is no longer liable for those treaties. Native leaders would have to negotiate directly with the UK monarchy instead, and many of those treaties would simply be voided since the Crown would no longer have ownership of the land. Practically, it would fuck over a lot of people and also be a really bad move politically. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] LHookham@c.im 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) @Rodeo @Apollonius_Cone Or, if the Crown no longer owns land in this country, the land would revert back to the FN’s? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) ** Clovis People have entered the...** Oh, wait. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 1 point 2 years ago I, for one, welcome our new mammoth-hunting overlords. permalink fedilink source parent
