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.

Venting? Actually, I started off just posting some good news that might
be interesting to local and even international cruising boaters.
JohnH got very defensive and now you are doing what you do best.

I'm not defensive. You blamed your woes on 'rich Americans' but provided no
proof that Americans were involved or that they destroyed the islands. If
and when you do so, I'll feel horribly ashamed for those folks.

The bottom line is that *Canadians* sold the property! Cast your aspersions
on them first.

I was just highlighting the fallacy of your argument that property
owners should not be able to act like a dog with a bone attitude. I
would hope you do a very good job of protecting your property, even if
you do look like a dog with a bone.

"Not just because they are rich...it's the 'dog with a bone' attitude.
Anyone who lives in a popular coastal area would know what I'm talking
about.
Development has been fairly slow coming to these areas and the locals
have had use of the islands for generations. Someone buys up the
property, uses it for a few weeks each summer and then guards it like a
national treasure the rest of the year. No one allowed on or near the
islands. Some even try to evict boaters anchoring in the coves...
although they only own property above the high water mark. "

Scoring the thread.

One point to Don White, for a third party personal remark.

If I recall correctly from dealing in Mexico, they restricted ownership
of (at least) ocean front property from non nationals....the way
around it was a Meican entity to hold the title, with all the rights
going to the investor/developer. There are always ways around stupid
laws such as that.

I bet you're a cracker jack at slithering & sliding around and over
legitimate laws.
