'Crown Land' in Canada is not owned directly by the Queen as some of the other properties. It's de-facto federal land. Whereas in the UK it's a different structure for her land.
Fun fact: 89% of Canada is 'Crown Land', so about the size of the continental US.
- sideshowb 8y ago90 percent of the uk crown estate revenue also goes to the public purse.
- sonnyblarney 8y agoYes, but I think it's different. 'Crown Land' in Canada is de-facto literally government land, parks, open spaces etc... In the UK there is 'Crown Estate' (which you are referring to), i.e. the Queen's landholdings, from which a bunch of revenue is derived ... and 'Public Estate' i.e. regular public land in the UK, which is more like 'Crown Land' in Canada.
