They use the term 'Eminent Domain' down in the US. Pretty much the same thing in the end. Eminent Domain is focused on the 'inherent power of authority' while Expropriation is around the executing of that power.
Because we believed the fiction that we are the first post-national state.
Should you then pay property taxes based on your declared value?
When they purchase land do they ask for your entire property or just the bit they want for the ROW? Perhaps having each landowner locate property of a similar nature and paying the difference would make it more palatable?No idea.
But any 'long thin' piece of land, like a pipeline or a train right of way, will traverse thousands of different types of land tenures. Of all the types, Crown Land is the easiest, usually, to manage.
It's mind boggling when you see it in action, really. In some cases, dozens of PS staff and lawyers an other experts can spend their whole careers figuring it out, right @Colin Parkinson?
The reason China (and other authoritarian regimes) can build these things so fast is because 'Dictatorship' - the state dictates.
For railway, the entirety of a small property might have to be bought. It isn't always necessary; a road easement often only takes the necessary chunk of land.
No clear plan = More trashing activity...
Dan Albas: High speed rail is another Liberal legacy project without a plan
$90 billion for a train most families will never ride and can’t afford
Conservatives believe Canada is a country ready to build again. For too long, especially in our largest cities, young Canadians have watched governments make big announcements while the cost of living rises, opportunities narrow and major projects stall. After more than a decade of Liberal promises, overspending and delays, Canadians deserve a new approach that delivers real results people can actually afford.
High‑speed rail is an exciting idea. Young Canadians travel abroad and wonder why Canada, a G7 country, still struggles to build so many different things. Conservatives agree: Canada should be building more, building smarter and building faster.
But Alto, announced in the final days of Justin Trudeau’s premiership, doesn’t reflect that kind of smart ambition. It looks more like a legacy project — another big promise without any clear plan to deliver. Conservatives have made our position clear, but doubts are being raised within the Liberal party too, with Liberal MP for the Bay of Quinte, Chris Malette, coming out in opposition to the project proposal.
It is surprising that Prime Minister Mark Carney doubled down on this megaproject without any public fiscal review, independent scrutiny or even a feasibility report. Creating a new state‑run high‑speed rail corporation to build a Toronto–Quebec City line in an already well‑serviced corridor, at a projected cost of at least $90 billion or more, is a serious undertaking.
