# Claim table — Unite BC Reel

| Claim | Status |
|---|---|
| B.C. has real land-title/property-rights debates after Cowichan/Richmond and Haida developments. | Supported in part. Richmond has a public notice on the Cowichan decision; B.C. has a Haida title agreement page. The legal meaning is disputed and evolving. |
| Haida title means private property, local governments or schools are immediately changed. | Contradicted by B.C.’s Haida page, which says the agreement will not impact private property/local government/bylaws and says schools/services continue. |
| B.C. lost “over 41,000 people in 2025.” | Needs correction. BC Stats annual June 2024→June 2025 shows +26,422. Quarterly data show a real later decline: -53,270 from Apr. 1 2025 to Apr. 1 2026 and -51,116 from Jul. 1 2025 to Apr. 1 2026. |
| In the last three months another 0.4% left. | Partly supported depending on quarter. Oct. 1 2025→Jan. 1 2026 was -24,673 (-0.434%). Jan. 1→Apr. 1 2026 was -12,108 (-0.214%). |
| The Islands Trust budget/taxes rose 13.5%. | Not supported by captured official budget result. Search result from Islands Trust budget states 8.1% increase to existing local trust area tax base plus 0.8% expected from new construction/development. The 13.5% figure was not confirmed in this pass. |
| Islands Trust enforcement can involve complaints and bylaw notices. | Supported. Islands Trust says bylaw enforcement usually starts with a written complaint and has a dispute process for violation notices. |
| Sharing garden vegetables could trigger a $50,000 fine. | Not verified in this pass. The source trail found Islands Trust bylaw enforcement documents, but not this exact claim as a current rule. |
| HPOA came into force and changed regulation of B.C. health professions. | Supported. B.C. says the HPOA replaced the Health Professions Act on Apr. 1, 2026; Doctors of BC and CBC report major regulatory changes and concerns. |
| The Reel proves doctors/nurses left because of the HPOA. | Not proven. CBC reports a doctor group warned changes could lead to fewer physicians/longer waits, but the Reel’s inbox/anecdote claim is not independently verified. |
| Mark Carney/Bilderberg caused modular-housing policy and B.C.’s decline. | Not established by the evidence gathered. Treated as political opinion, not a verified factual claim. |
