  {
    "claim": "X video exists and makes the land-transfer claims",
    "label": "Confirmed social-video claim",
    "finding": "The Dan Dicks / Press For Truth X post and 6:48 video were captured; transcript and contact sheet are preserved."
  },
  {
    "claim": "More than 300,000 acres of Crown land may be transferred to Vancouver Island First Nations",
    "label": "Supported by Global BC reporting",
    "finding": "Global BC reported that documents show more than 300,000 acres could be transferred to five Vancouver Island First Nations as treaties are finalized."
  },
  {
    "claim": "The parcels include Hatley Castle / Royal Roads, waterfront in Victoria, property near the Legislature, Discovery Island Provincial Park and Sooke Mountain Provincial Park",
    "label": "Supported by Global BC reporting, still needs underlying parcel list",
    "finding": "Global BC names these examples. NewsForBC still wants the actual internal parcel list/map as the primary record."
  },
  {
    "claim": "Songhees is in Stage 5 final agreement negotiations through Te’mexw Treaty Association",
    "label": "Supported by B.C. government page",
    "finding": "B.C. page says TTA negotiates for Malahat, Scia’new, Songhees, Snaw-aw-as and T’sou-ke, and lists Stage 5 final-agreement negotiations."
  },
  {
    "claim": "Songhees population is “about 600”",
    "label": "Broadly supported with updated figure",
    "finding": "B.C.’s page lists Songhees population as 666; the video’s “about 600” is rough, not exact."
  },
  {
    "claim": "334,000 acres is “the size of Portugal”",
    "label": "Incorrect for 334,000 acres",
    "finding": "334,000 acres is about 1,352 km², while Portugal is about 92,212 km². The Portugal comparison applies only to the separate 9.6-million-hectare claim if that larger number is established."
  },
  {
    "claim": "Potential deals could reach 9.6 million hectares / roughly 10% of B.C.",
    "label": "Mathematically plausible, source not pinned in this check",
    "finding": "9.6 million hectares is about 96,000 km², or about 10.16% of B.C. NewsForBC did not find the specific official “9.6m ha” source list in this pass."
  },
  {
    "claim": "Public access could be limited or eliminated after transfer",
    "label": "Concern reported; exact effect depends on final treaty text",
    "finding": "Global BC reports concerns that public access and existing zoning/local rules may not be preserved. The legal effect requires final treaty text, implementation legislation and parcel-specific rules."
  },
  {
    "claim": "Local bylaws no longer apply / zero city council oversight",
    "label": "Needs legal precision",
    "finding": "Treaty settlement lands can change governance and land-use authority, but “whatever they want” and “zero oversight” overstates without the final treaty, self-government, land-use and consultation provisions."
  },
  {
    "claim": "David Eby/NDP is corrupt or committing treason",
    "label": "Not supported / not adopted",
    "finding": "NewsForBC treats this as a transparency and public-ledger issue, not a personal criminal allegation. No corruption finding is established by the video."
