Interesting little fact I learned today, crownland makes up 89% of Canadian land. I always knew there was a lot of crown land, but I never really thought about how much it actually was. Wonder how that compares to other government controlled land in other countries. I'd guess Australia has a similar situation.

The legal rights attaching to crown lands in Canada are quite different from any other country. You are correct that Australia comes closest in concept but there are also significant differences.

In several surveys, the overwhelming first choice for what makes Canada unique is multiculturalism. This, in a world collapsing into stupid, impoverishing hatreds, is the distinctly Canadian national project.

Makes sense. We have a similar situation in our Western States.
