Grounds of the Crown

The notion of the Grounds of the Crown of Canada means that nobody has the grounds. So they belong to the Queen of England. All Canadian can make the request for a ground and found a community or one there provided. This design escapes many Europeans, since Europe has been entirely occupied for several millenia.

History

Before the creation of the Confederation in 1867, Canada was composed of several British colonies: the Island-of-Prince-Edouard, the Nova Scotia, the New Brunswick and both Canada (current provinces of the Quebec and the Ontario).

The Act of the British North America of 1867 allotted to the provinces the responsibility to manage the grounds of the Crown. The government of Canada preserved only the demand for grounds concerning the Low-Canada and the High-Canada (Quebec and Ontario).

During the acquisition of the Earth of Rupert in 1869, the grounds of the West passed under the supervision of the federal authorities. In 1930, the administration of the grounds of the Crown was transferred to the provincial governments from the Manitoba, the Saskatchewan and the Alberta.

The French Canadians had been already present for more than 200 years, but English colonization had reason of French and autochtones of Canada. Since this time, they must make the request with the federal authorities to have a ground of the Crown.
