Dear Queen Elizabeth II I am using this means to ask you to correct a mistake made by Queen Victoria when writing the British North America Act of 1867. She illegally "disallowed" individual property rights of British subjects living within Canada and gave them to the provinces under section 92 (13) instead. This is beginning to have serious ramifications as our government of the day is set on taking our property without due process of law and without just compensation for the property the government seizes.

As former British subjects, Canadians can historically trace their individual property rights to the Magna Carta of 1215, the English Bill of Rights of 1689, 'Locke's Second Treaties' (1690), and Blackstone's 'Commentaries'. However, Canadians lost their property rights to the provinces in colonial Canada under section 92 (13) "Property and Civil Rights in the Province" of the BNA (British North America) Act of 1867 and in what is now known as the "Constitution Acts 1867 to 1982".

The fact that Queen Victoria "disallowed" individual property rights in the BNA Act of 1867 does not mean those same rights ceased to exist. They still exist because a right can never be taken away.

Therefore, I am requesting that you correct the wrong Queen Victoria bestowed upon Canadians. Please return to us our individual property rights immediately.

You may possibley use section 26 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms as a legal port to formerly return to Canadians this fundamental right for our liberty. Section 26 read, " The guarantee in the Carter of certain rights and freedoms shall not be construed as denying the existence of any other rights or freedoms that exist in Canada."

Please encourage Canadian courts to add the individual right to property to the five principles to which it has already given this protection: judicial independence, federalism, democracy, rule of law and minority rights. Without the addition of individual property rights, these other principles become irrelevant.

Also encouage the Governor General of Canada, the Government of Canada and the Province of Sask. to include my individual property rights to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. In any event give me my individual property rights with or without these government branches co-operation.

Yours in Tyranny,
