joysness Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 I saw it this morning and :jawdrop: It's bad enough they stole people's property for govenrment things but now the rich get to steal it for pennies on the dollar and make millions in profits.Gawd, I think I need to start thinking about moving back to Canada. :blink: :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Compulsory purchase of property already exists. The money paid out on compulsory purchase doesn't necessarily represent the value of the property before the purchase order was made and the market value of the property after the order is almost zero.It's only a small step from that to seizure with no recompense.

deuces wild Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 A terrible decision. They rewrote our Constitution. Those supporting the decision included all 4 liberal justices and one conservative justice. The other 4 conservative justices voted against it.

deuces wild Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 The ruling in the States had to do with private developers, not the government, taking your land/house if it stands in the way of their plans.The government here has always had the power of eminent domain to seize property (standing in the way of public projects) and offer "reasonable" compensation for it.This Supreme Court ruling basically rewrote our Constitution.....contrary to their charge of interpretting the Constitution.
