You’re mistaken. “The Crown” is the legal name of what is a private entity that looks and acts as if it’s a public one. It’s one of the deepest rabbit holes on Earth, and not even a conspiratorial one, just the sort of organisation that takes great pains to hide and occlude what it is. See my post elsewhere on this page.
- SonicScrub 3y ago"The Crown" in Canada refers to the government, which is for all practical purposes is controlled by the various federal and provincial elected bodies. "Crown Land" is land that is technically owned by the sitting monarch, but in all practicalities is owned by the Canadian government, as monarch is legally unable to do anything with the land. All adminstration, sale, land transfers, renting out, and revenue from the land is controlled by the government, not The Crown. The monarch does not meaningfully own Crown Land in any sense, and this is enshrined within Canada's own legal definition of Crown Land.
