Don,
Great so you don't mind if we tromp through your house also to use
the bathrooms? I am planning on setting up a web page with
directions to your home and letting everyone know that "Su Casa es
Nuestra Casa".

Since you have given everyone ready access to your home and gardens,
why don't you just deed your home over the state?



You're starting to sound like one of them 'rich 'mericans'.
Go into someone else's country, run ram shod all over them & then
tell them what to do with their home, property, possessions state etc.
Oh wait a minute... that's your government you're imitating!


Wait, I just misunderstood you, you mean Canadians should have
property rights, but those rights should not be extended to non
Canadians. That should be a simple solution, just nationalize all
property owned by non Canadians. Cuba did the same thing when Castro
took over.

A neighbouring province has restrictions on how much property can be
held by non-residents and at one time taxed non-residents property at a
higher rate than locals.

So is that what you are recommending for Halifax? What if a Canadian
owns property on the water, should he be able to restrict the public
from using this property anyway they want? If all property on the water
was available to all Canadian citizens (we wouldn't want to have any
"foreigners" up there) it would save Canadians a ton of money on public
parks. I think you have come up with a great idea. I am curious, why
didn't the Canadian government buy the land when it was cheap to insure
public access for future generations? Sounds to me like you are venting
your frustration at the wrong people.
