Province says it's moving to protect property rights by upending 'archaic' law ableg abpoli
On Monday, Justice Minister Tyler Shandro said those who occupy property owned by others will no longer be able to petition the courts to assume that property through so-called adverse possession, or what he called “squatters’ rights.”Sign up to receive daily headline news from the Calgary Herald, a division of Postmedia Network Inc.By clicking on the sign up button you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.
The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms doesn’t enshrine such property rights, said the minister, and Albertans have been asking for changes to the law for the past decade.Article content Bill 3 would amend three property-related acts and would abolish future adverse possession, but would not retroactively overturn past rulings or those currently working their way through the courts, says the government.“This act will bring peace of mind to Alberta’s land owners, it’ll send a message there’s nothing to be gained by squatters,” said Shandro.

Smith wants Alberta's sovereigntyOTTAWA—Alberta Premier Danielle Smith wants sovereignty in a united Canada. She claims it has nothing to do with a desire to separate, but the first bill she tabled as premier says otherwise. The crux of the bill is to give her cabinet the right to refuse to proceed with any federal legislation or action that it perceives as detrimental to Alberta. Notwithstanding her promises while running for the United Conservative Party leadership, she makes it very plain that her cabinet decisions take precedence over the Canadian Constitution. Observers have underscored problems with the legislation, but they have more to do with internal Alberta politics than anything coming from Ottawa. The decision to give cabinet the right to overturn all laws could actually cause problems for democracy in Alberta. The move certainly seems to diminish the power of the legislature’s involvement in the approval, rejection, or amendment of any legislation.

Minority governments are unlikely in Alberta, given the dominance of only two political parties. But the decision to simply override parliamentary opinion by way of a cabinet fiat is definitely a political mistake. At this point, the premier has to be a lot more concerned about her standing amongst Alberta voters than her popularity, or lack thereof, in the rest of the country. She has to face the voters in less than six months, and even her immediate predecessor has made it very clear that he disagrees with her sovereignty pitch. In resigning on the same day that Smith tabled the sovereignty bill, outgoing premier Jason Kenney took an indirect hit at Smith’s first piece of legislation by way of his retirement statement: “I am concerned that our democratic life is veering away from ordinary prudential debate towards a polarization that undermines our bedrock institutions and principles.” There has never been any love lost
