(February 24, 2011) The Ontario Landowners Association today applauded MLA Randy Hillier and MP Scott Reid for taking a strong stand to protect private property rights in Canada.
“Mr. Hillier and Mr. Reid are introducing resolutions in their respective legislatures calling for a constitutional amendment to embed property rights within the Charter of Rights and Freedoms,” says OLA president Deborah Madill. “This is an important first step in protecting a crucial freedom.”
Madill says the omission of property protection in Canada’s constitution is a flaw that undermines the rights of all Canadians.
“Our Charter needs to safeguard property rights to protect citizens from the arbitrary seizure of their land,” says Madill. “It’s a crucial individual freedom. That’s why all Canadians should applaud Mr. Hillier and Mr. Reid for taking this principled stand.”
PROPERTY RIGHTS
The Foundation of our freedom. The most important rights in any society are property rights
The Ontario Landowners Association shall defend and promote the principal of strong local governments, democracy, and natural justice and represent the interests of the rural community.
For Rural Ontario to survive, Property Rights and judicial reform must be enshrined into law at all three levels of Government, these being; Federal, Provincial, and Municipal.
Rural Ontario is under systematic attack by government bureaucracy and false environmentalism.
The Ontario Landowners have and will continue to expose and meet these threats with determination and resolve in the court of public opinion.
