The UK is plenty oppressed. We still have all the same problems with economic rent extracted via land ownership.
- notahacker 11y agoEvery country - republics included - has that problem. Although the reason that a relatively high proportion of resource extraction revenues in Canada are redirected to public welfare is, perhaps ironically, because the vast majority of Canada's territory is classed as Crown Land...
- branchless 11y agoWhich is as it should be - that land belongs to all Canadians. In the UK Queenie gets 15% of crown land to spend on the their lavish lives. I wonder how much rent she takes out of Canadian schools and hospitals. Any idea? Google failed me.
