I think this is an artifact of attribution. Something like 90% of Canada's land is owned by the Crown of Canada, which as far as I can tell is public land owned in a technical sense by the British royal family.
In practice it seems to be mostly owned and controlled by provinces.

- ssnistfajen 3y agoThe crown is merely a legal concept that due to precedence (since common law countries place so much emphasis on precedence), had to be attached to a natural person who despite holding the title cannot really use its powers as they wish thanks to more precedence that evolved over the history of the UK.
