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.
If the Crown had transferred all land rights as allodial title, there would be no reservations, no Crown rights of taxation, regulation, eminent domain, conscription, etc. But we've got ownership in fee simple, with all these residues of feudalism. The OLA can wish it were otherwise, but our democratically elected representatives are empowered by the people to make laws that affect our liberties. The answer to the problem of confiscatory statutory regulation, is Provincial property rights legislation. Period.
We have some crown patenters down here in Lincoln too. They are not dumb people but they are sure stupid when it comes to the patent thing. I just keep saying to them if your letters are so damned good how come people still get charged and go to court and get found guilty.
Talk about a faint hope clause. I think old Jack has been sipping some pretty strange sauce or sniffing some sweetgrass.
ReplyDeleteBoy I dont know. I would think that if all this hocus-pocus-paper stuff really worked there wouldn't be any problems right?

DeleteYup. They'll tell you it's the judges and lawyers who just don't understand the law ;)
