Climate Mandates, Executive Overreach, And Concealed Asset Transfers Are Dismantling Canada’s Property Framework Without Consent
The urgent themes discussed in this article are explored in greater depth in our #1 international best-selling book, It Starts With Gold™, co-authored by Peter J. Merrick and Adrian C. Spitters. In the book, we reveal how financial systems are collapsing and how individuals can prepare before it is too late. Visit www.ItStartsWithGold.com.
Across Canada, citizens are waking up to the reality that their country is being quietly dismantled, not through conquest, but through policy. The very foundation of Canadian sovereignty, private property, is under coordinated attack. What was once owned by citizens is now being reclassified, regulated, and repositioned for acquisition. Land, infrastructure, and resources are shifting from families and communities into the hands of foreign investors and centralized authorities.
This is not a theory. It is a process. We document this shift in It Starts With Gold, revealing the playbook behind Canada’s quiet expropriation.
The Crown’s Silent Hand in Canada’s Transformation
Few Canadians understand that all land in Canada that is not privately owned is Crown land. Under the framework of a constitutional monarchy, the Crown, represented by King Charles III, is the legal titleholder of massive tracts of territory. These lands are administered by federal and provincial governments but ultimately fall under the sovereign’s domain.
In recent years, the Crown’s role has become increasingly relevant as public lands are repurposed under climate policy, sold under trade deals, or surrendered through reconciliation legislation. While the King does not govern directly, his authority forms the legal foundation upon which these transfers occur. As we note in It Starts With Gold, this arrangement allows governments to bypass citizens while operating under the legitimacy of ancient colonial legal doctrine.
King Charles has also been a global advocate for climate action, sustainability, and stakeholder capitalism. His worldview is deeply aligned with those advancing Net Zero mandates. When Mark Carney speaks of restructuring the economy, he echoes language promoted by the Crown itself. The monarchy’s involvement is not ceremonial- it is ideological and structural.
Mark Carney’s Blueprint to Reclaim the Commons
Prime Minister Mark Carney has vowed to restructure the nation under the guise of sustainability. His Net Zero roadmap does not merely address emissions. It targets ownership. Regulations are designed to make land-based industries uneconomical. Capital is redirected to ESG-compliant entities. Compliance with foreign standards is replacing Canadian jurisdiction.
Key industries – agriculture, mining, oil and gas, and real estate – are being devalued by policy. The consequence is a controlled demolition of productive land use, followed by global consolidation. Through groups like the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ), foreign banks and investment houses are positioned to acquire assets Canadians are being forced to abandon.
This is how you erase private ownership without a headline.
Bill 7: The Trojan Horse to Override Property Rights
British Columbia’s Bill 7, the Social Development and Poverty Reduction Statutes Amendment Act (2024), appears to be about equity. In practice, it is about control. It gives the provincial Cabinet unchecked authority to redefine governance, override Indigenous structures, and bypass parliamentary oversight.
The bill allows the province to designate “Indigenous Governing Bodies”-bodies not necessarily accountable to hereditary or elected leadership- and enter into joint land and resource agreements. This circumvents both Indigenous consent and local property protections.
Most dangerously, Part 4 of Bill 7-previously withdrawn, is now expected to be reintroduced and passed. It gives the Cabinet the power to change the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (DRIPA) by regulation. That means no public debate, no legislative process, and no legal recourse for landowners.
If Part 4 becomes law, British Columbia will have the legal infrastructure to transfer property rights by executive order. Section 35 protections under the Constitution will become meaningless. Crown land can be reclassified, leased, or sold without notice.
Bill 7 is more than just provincial legislation. It is a global test case. If successfully implemented in British Columbia, its mechanisms will be replicated across other Canadian provinces, the United States, and beyond. What begins in B.C. may become the template for eroding property rights worldwide.
The Infrastructure of Liquidation
In It Starts With Gold, we trace how these measures work in tandem:
-
-
- Disguised Policy Measures: Climate laws double as expropriation tools.
- Incremental Transfers: Property is shifted via long-term leases, trust arrangements, and public-private partnerships.
- Financial Engineering: Farms, oil wells, and housing become unprofitable by design.
- Regulatory Bypass: Orders in Council and Bill 7’s framework eliminate legislative oversight.
- Controlled Media: Legacy outlets distort public perception, silencing property owners raising red flags.

The End of Ownership as We Know It
Property rights have long been the backbone of Canadian liberty. What we are witnessing is a soft expropriation. Foreign ownership of Canadian land and infrastructure now exceeds $2 trillion. Meanwhile, everyday Canadians are priced out of homeownership, burdened by taxation, and suffocated by regulation.
If Bill 7’s Part 4 becomes law, the Cabinet will have the unchecked ability to redefine Indigenous agreements, land classifications, and local jurisdictions without debate or consent.
This is not reconciliation. It is the quiet criminalization of ownership. Canada’s framework is being rewritten in favour of global compliance systems backed by the Crown and endorsed by its agents.
What You Can Do
The solution does not lie in Ottawa. It lies in informed resistance. Canadians must understand what is being taken, how it is being taken, and how to protect themselves from being the next target.
In It Starts With Gold, we detail how private individuals can secure real wealth outside the collapsing digital system.
