On this day, at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, the Great War ends. At 5 a.m. that morning, Germany, bereft of manpower and supplies and faced with imminent invasion, signed an armistice agreement with the Allies in a railroad car outside Compiegne, France. The First World War left nine million soldiers dead and 21 million wounded, with Germany, Russia, Austria-Hungary, France, and Great Britain each losing nearly a million or more lives. In addition, at least five million civilians died from disease, starvation, or exposure. Lest we forget

CBC MENU news Sections ... Nfld. & Labrador High court ruling will leave St. John's on hook for expropriation costs Social Sharing Facebook Twitter Email Supreme Court of Canada refuses to hear appeal on case related to land in Windsor Lake watershed Terry Roberts CBC News Posted: Feb 03, 2017 7:10 AM NT | Last Updated: February 3, 2017 The area on the right of Camrose Drive is land owned by the Lynch family, which has not been allowed to develop it because of zoning laws in St. John's. (Terry Roberts/CBC) The owners of land in a protected area of St. John's are celebrating a legal victory over the city after the Supreme Court of Canada refused to hear an appeal. The decision will likely cost taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars and possibly open the floodgates for similar cases, says the lawyer representing the owners. It all revolves around a property owner's right to develop land in a watershed area, and whether the city is effectively expropriating land without compensation when it denies all means of usage. The highest court in this province believes that to be the case, and it could change the way the city deals with property located in sensitive areas like watersheds. 'Unused in its natural state' The long-running legal dispute involves Willis Lynch and other members of his family, and their efforts to develop some family land on Camrose Drive, some of which serves as a boundary between the Town of Paradise and the City of St. John's. The roughly 11 acres is located in the Broad Cove River watershed, which is part of the Windsor Lake water supply system. The Lynches took legal action after they were denied permission by the city for a 10-lot residential subdivision about five years ago. The city's position was that the land must be kept "unused in its natural state." The disputed land is located off Camrose Drive, some of which serves as a boundary between the Town of Paradise and the City of St. John's. (Terry Roberts/CBC) The family took the matter to court, arguing that the city was, in essence, taking the land without paying any compensation. The Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador sided with the city, but that was later overturned by the court of appeal, which ruled "the real property owned by the Lynch's ... has been constructively expropriated." Using Lynch property as a water filter The city took the matter to the nation's highest court, which ruled Thursday it would not hear the case, meaning the provincial appeal court ruling stands. The lawyer for the Lynch family said it's a big victory. "This is only fair. If the City of St. John's wants private land because this was a Crown grant to David Lynch for the public purpose of water supply, they should buy it," said Michael Crosbie. "So that's what this case established, that it's the equivalent of an expropriation." Crosbie argued that in law, you own the groundwater on your property, and that was the key to success in this case. "What the city was doing was taking this property as a great big filter ... basically they were like a neighbour that acquired an easement over your property so that the groundwater wouldn't be intercepted from coming to you," Crosbie explained. Seeking fair market value The Lynches are seeking fair market value for the land, which could mean a hefty purchase price for the city, since a single building lot in the area is selling for roughly $90,000. Crosbie said the next step is to get an appraisal of the land, and begin negotiating with the city. If a suitable agreement is not reached, Crosbie said the matter could be resolved by the Public Utilities Board. City manager Kevin Breen confirmed this in a statement emailed to CBC News Friday morning. Breen did not comment on what the ruling might mean for other landowners in similar situations. Crosbie, meanwhile, cautioned the city against making changes to legislation in order to avoid paying compensation. "I would think this would discourage anyone from investing in this province if they can take your property ... and not pay reasonable compensation under expropriation principles," he said.

A while ago, Dee Bartens asked for some research on "in the Province". Great Britain became the "owner" of certain parts of what is now North America through battles, negotiation and treaties with the original inhabitants. But in order to make productive their acquired holdings, they needed to populate the land with settlers and soldiers loyal to the Monarchy. Much of this settlement came through granting land. In England it was almost impossible for a commoner to own pro...perty, so the opportunity to become a landowner in this New World was a very successful strategy to populate North America. Settlers, soldiers and loyalists had to petition the Crown for property, and when granted, the Grantee had to fulfill a number of conditions within a limited timeframe in order to get his grant patented. For settlers in particular, the conditions usually included clearing 10 acres and building a residence of a certain size within a 3 year period. Once completed, the settler would travel to an official post and swear an oath that the conditions were met, and on doing so, Imperial Letters Patent were issued for the granted land. NOTE HERE: the letters patent were granted for the LAND...hence the rights so granted run with the LAND. They were given and granted forever....and only the grantee could then control those rights.

Please wear a poppy to continue to honour the many, many lives sacrificed so we may continue to strive to live free.... Remembrance Day (sometimes known informally as Poppy Day owing to the tradition of the remembrance poppy) is a memorial day observed in Commonwealth member states since the end of the First World War to remember the members of their armed forces who have died in the line of duty. Following a tradition inaugurated by King George V in 1919,[1] the day is also... marked by war remembrances in many non-Commonwealth countries. Remembrance Day is observed on 11 November in most countries to recall the end of hostilities of First World War on that date in 1918. Hostilities formally ended "at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month", in accordance with the armistice signed by representatives of Germany and the Entente between 5:12 and 5:20 that morning.
