Tell me you don't need me to explain what the crown is
Sigh.
While Canadians can own land in the form of fee simple, the Crown (representing the Canadian government) ultimately holds the title to all land in Canada. This means that individuals essentially hold a right to possess and use the land, but the government retains ultimate ownership.
Elaboration:
Fee Simple Ownership:
In Canada, individuals can own land in fee simple, which means they have the right to possess, use, and dispose of the land as they see fit, according to Alberta.
Crown Ownership:
However, the Crown (the Canadian government) holds the ultimate title to all land in Canada, according to the Canadian Encyclopedia. This is a historical and legal concept that means the government has the ultimate authority over land use and ownership.
