The Canadian Landowner Alliance advocates for provincial legislation that recognizes property rights, and, that the Federal Government of Canada enshrines property rights in the Charter of Rights and freedoms.
Well yes expropriation is highly unusual. Why resort to the Expropriations Act when you can use a back-door regulatory taking to transfer the land's utility to the state - without purchasing or paying compensation?
That is what makes the Index ' s report on Canada's record of property rights completely ludicrous. We all know that Canada - when it comes to acquiring private land for public purposes without compensation - is a world leader.
True enough TJ. Why use the back door when you can kick in the front door and confiscate private property without a warrant, eh? Just declare that it's all in the name of public safety!
Beauty. Harper, Hudak, and all the rest can kiss my arse. They'll get my vote when they give me property rights.
ReplyDeleteSo much for the credibility of that Index. About as reliable as Mr. Mann's droopy little hockey stick.

DeleteI think that the good folks out here in High River might refute this wonderful claim.
