No they don't. They have to pay you assessed value. Those can be two very different things. Fair Market value is what the owner decides to accept, not what someone is willing to offer. ANd if the owner does not wish to sell then there is NO fair market value.

Reverse that optic and I'll go along with your point.In the legal sense, no, fair market value is not just whatever the owner decides it should be.
Well, no, it is quite well established that the government can do exactly this.
If you guys truly believe that some piece of paper from hundreds of years ago trumps all current laws, you would think that you would be a lot more sympathetic to the issues being raised by first nations people in Canada.
Not to somebody with proclaimed property rights.
Very few have those rights.

What he has was endowed as inalienable by the king.
So a piece of land donated by the King in perpetuity back in 1798 has less strength in law than some treaties signed later?
His document from the King. You and I have no rights and can be subject to eminent domain but he can't.

Sure looks like it to me.
Yet so many on this forum want the gubmint to do more and more for us; go figure.Because most of us know right from wrong and have common decency. You can't count on the government to know either or have any decency at all.
There are no property rights in Canada.This guy is different. He has ownership of the land when the rest of us don't. He has property rights. We don't.
This thread is about property.Are you hoping for some sort of free market solution to drinking and driving?

Fortunately Walter most of the posters on this board are sane, and we all know the ones who aren't.Yet so many on this forum want the gubmint to do more and more for us; go figure.
A few other things come into play here. Sometimes you have to resort to what works. I believe the King back in 1798 may have been George III..................crazier than a sh*t house rat.
They could not build any of the things I mentioned without the use of these laws, unless these different areas you speak of are in the absolute middle of nowhere.
They don't go looking to expropriate people's property against their will. They always look at options and try to come to a deal before anything like this happens, but they need this legal option when they can't otherwise come to an agreement.
If these laws did not exist, it would be way too easy for landowners to hold the state hostage for huge sums of money should the state ever want to build anything.
He has them. You don't.There are no property rights in Canada.

If people are not willing to sell land to the government then the government should use Crown Land. The vast majority of the country is Crown Land. There is more than enough of it. Yes, it may be in the middle of nowhere and be inconvenient to the government - so be it. No one should be forced to give up any property against their will. If people are willing to sell or give their land to the government, fine. If they arent for any price then the government should go elsewhere. Right now they dont have to and what they are doing is legal but it isnt right. That should change.
