For years, landowners across Ontario have watched their property rights steadily eroded by expanding regulations, permits, and bureaucratic interference. The question every landowner must ask is simple:
Who really controls your land — you, or the government?
On April 11, the Upper Canada Land Titles And Patent Research Initiative is bringing together two of Canada’s leading constitutional lawyers to answer that question directly.
This is an extraordinary opportunity. Most landowners could never afford the legal fees required to hire lawyers of this calibre privately. Yet at this conference, you will hear them explain — clearly and directly — the constitutional and legal foundations that affect your land rights.
Guest Speakers
• Bruce Pardy
Law professor, constitutional scholar, and one of Canada’s most outspoken voices on property rights and regulatory overreach.
• Shawn Buckley
Renowned constitutional lawyer known for defending civil liberties and challenging government authority in Canadian courts.
Together, they will address issues that every landowner should understand:
-
- Government authority over private land
-
- The limits of provincial and municipal power
-
- Constitutional protections affecting property owners
-
- Regulatory overreach and how it is justified
-
- What landowners can do to defend their rights
Most importantly — this will not just be a lecture.
After each speaker, there will be a live audience Question & Answer period, giving attendees the rare chance to ask two constitutional lawyers directly about the issues affecting their own property and communities.
These are questions most landowners never get the chance to ask.
If you care about your land, your rights, and the future of property ownership in Ontario, this is a conference you cannot afford to miss.
