The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation and it's partner, the Canada Lands Company.

     In April of 1998 all the residential land holdings of the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation were transferred to the Canada Lands Company. The CMHC portfolio was worth $62 million dollars, and the mandate of the CLC was to dispose of/privatize the real estate.

A classified ad in the Globe and Mail newspaper. The Kingstonian Apartments at 780 Division Street Kingston were financed by Canadian taxpayers. The CMHC built affordable housing.

Willow Park, Winnipeg - constructed in 1966.
 Kingston, Ontario - The Crown corporation CMHC  constructed the Kingstonian Apartments; and Eldon Hall Place, which was located on the grounds of the Collins Bay Institution.

Ottawa - 800 Montreal Road, which is located next to CMHC National Headquarters, was recently sold. CLC demolished the Fortintek Building, where research into forestry was conducted.
CMHC National Headquarters, 700 Montreal Road Ottawa.

Ottawa - 1970 - The National Capital's version of  Rochdale College was constructed  at 160 Chapel Street. "The People's College" had 215 apartments, 408 hostel bed accommodations and commercial space. The property was repossessed by the Crown corporation, and in 1997 the former college was converted into luxury apartments.

Toronto - 1966- the Rochdale College project was approved by the CMHC--267 apartments and 119 hostel bed accommodations, plus parking and commercial space. The project was intended for student housing, and loans were made to student co-operatives. By 1975 Rochdale College was acquired by the CMHC.
1998-Canada Lands Company acquired the title to the former CMHC Ontario Headquarters in Toronto, 650 Lawrence Avenue West.

Montreal - In 1967 the CMHC accepted responsibility for all assets of the Canadian Corporation for Expo 67, located at Cite du Havre, Montreal,including:
Habitat 67
Victoria Auto Park
The Autostade.

Vancouver - During 1972 the Crown corporation assumed responsibility for a dilapidated industrial area known as Granville Island. The island was converted into a "people place" with a theatre, food markets and industrial and exhibition buildings.
The 272 hectare Blair Rifle Range, North Vancouver was transferred from DND to CMHC for $1 dollar in 1969.

The Fraser Institute wants to see the devolution of federal government properties, including Canada Place in Vancouver with its iconic sails.

The Department of Fisheries and Oceans and it's partner, the Canada Lands Company.

The Hon. Erik Nielsen conducted an inventory of all federal properties in Canada in 1986. Mr. Nielsen was a Deputy Prime Minister of Canada and Minister of Public Works. The Jean Charest document "Let the Future Begin" called the Department of Public Works "a relic" and recommended that all federal property in Canada be transferred to the Canada Lands Company for disposal/privatization.
1.)Richmond British Columbia Coast Guard Transmitter Station - 136 acres of land - Transferred to Canada Lands Company in 2001.
2.) Port Credit Marina redevelopment:
People in Port Credit, Mississauga are concerned about the density of the Canada Lands Company project, the height of the condominiums and the number of condos that will be constructed. Also, they want more green space/public land.

3.)All lighthouses owned by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, 1,000 were "disposed of" a few years ago. That includes Peggy's Cove. Photo's of me taken at Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia:



4) West Vancouver Laboratory, 4160 Marine Drive, Vancouver.
4.) Five acres of land were annexed from the West Vancouver Laboratory on Marine Drive in Vancouver.

5.) Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the Coast Guard are involved in a Canada Lands Company project called "Portsmouth Visioning". The enterprise will result in the demolition of Kingston Penitentiary walls, buildings and guard towers; the construction of high rise condominiums and townhouses on Corrections Canada, City of Kingston and DFO property, and the loss of green space at a City of Kingston park --- a park that was paid for by the taxpayers of Ontario during the 1976 Summer Olympics.

6.) 2002-2003- Canada Lands Company acquired the title to DFO's 11-acre Trafalgar Road property, Oakville, Ontario.

The displacement of federal employees and departments.

     A Treasury Board of Canada document claims that the federal government is only in the real estate business because real property is required to support its program mandates:
     "It is the policy of the government to acquire, manage and retain real property only to support the delivery of government programs..." (1989 Treasury Board document, see page 72 of the google book "Managing Government Property Assets: International Experiences" by Olga Kaganova.)

That is not true.
When the Canada Lands Company acquires a federal property, the taxpayers of this country often have to pay for the construction of brand new facilities.
Corrections Canada
Canadians will have to pay for a new prison in Kingston, Ontario when the following prisons are "disposed of":
Kingston Penitentiary
Pittsburgh
Joyceville
Warkworth
Regional Treatment Centre
Millhaven
(from: Page 197/255 of "A Roadmap for Strengthening Public Safety".)

Old War Museum on Sussex Drive
The new War Museum was built on the LeBreton Flats in Ottawa.

Veteran's Affairs
The original Veteran's Affairs complex on 363 Smyth Road in Ottawa was demolished, and townhouses and executive houses were constructed on the site. The National Defence Medical Centre is now designated as "surplus", and will be transferred to the CLC. Another veteran's hospital is now located in Alta Vista.

Library and Archives Canada, Wellington Street Ottawa.
The building is no longer included in the "Federal Directory of Real Property" register. The City of Ottawa and the Government of Canada are planning to build a super library on the grounds of LeBreton Flats.


CN Rail Properties
Via Rail had to build new train stations after Canada Lands Company acquired the real estate assets of the Canadian National Railway. The CNR was privatized by the Chretien government in 1995. Most of the Via stations cannot compare architecturally to the original train stations. And why were the Canadian National Railway real estate properties not transferred to Via Rail, to the people of Canada?
the railway lines
train stations
hotels
300-acre Moncton Shops
bridges
tunnels
CN Towers in Toronto; London, Ontario and Edmonton
roundhouses
office buildings

  Via (the taxpayers of Canada) has to pay Bill Gates and his cronies at CN Rail to use the remaining CNR railway tracks. Bill Gates and Prince al Waleed bin Talal and Carl Icahn did not build the Canadian National Railway, but they sure profited from the sale of the Crown corporation. The Canadian National Railway and the CPR united Canada; the CNR made it possible for people from coast to coast to coast to travel, and the tickets were not expensive. The CNR also provided services like delivering mail to remote communities.
 A German-Canadian businessman named Karl-Heinz Schreiber told a reporter that the Americans and Europeans were involved in a conspiracy to stop the train industry in Canada.
Karl-Heinz Schreiber told Der Spiegel about "the most horrible Watergate scandal" that was ongoing in Canada.

The Ralston Dominion Building, Halifax
The building will be flattened during the spring of 2019. Canada Revenue Agency employees were transferred to the Bayers Lake Business Park, Halifax.

Kapyong Barracks, Winnipeg
Air cadets aged 12 to 18 years were evicted by the CLC from their meeting place at the Kapyong Barracks. When the property was owned by DND the cadets did not have to pay any rent. See the CBC article "Air cadets booted from barracks" October 21, 2011.

Griesbach Barracks, Edmonton
The CLC bought the 650-acre property, mainly comprised of military housing, and privatized the site .Now, soldiers at CFB Edmonton cannot afford to live in the city, see the article "Troops losing housing war: Can't afford to live in Edmonton" by Andrew Hanon, Sun Media June 1, 2007.

Canadian Border Services Agency
Canada Lands Company will acquire the property at 3139 Oxford Street in Halifax in 2019.

Royal Canadian Mounted Police
The former RCMP Headquarters in Toronto, Ontario were converted into a hotel. 225 Jarvis Street is called the Grand Hotel and Suites. RCMP officers were relocated to London,Ontario.
An RCMP forensics laboratory at 3151 Oxford Street, Halifax is now being shut down, and the building and land will be transferred to CLC.
The Canada Lands Company acquired a 21-acre RCMP property in downtown Vancouver, British Columbia, the Heather Street land. A new Government of Canada building was constructed for the displaced RCMP staff, who were moved to Surrey, British Columbia.

Canada Lands Company sold the Dominion Public Building in Toronto.

     The Dominion Public Building in Toronto is located next to Union Station. A year and a half ago Canada Lands Company sold the property to Larco Investments, and 1,900 federal employees were evicted. Forty-five and 49 storey rental apartments will now be constructed on the former Crown asset.
This is what happens, when federal buildings are privatized. This is what happens, when elected officials care more about developers than the people who elected them. This is what happens, when Canada Lands Company buys a railway hotel, or train station, museum or prison, and the buildings are stripped of Canada's Maple Leaf Flag, Coat of Arms and heritage protection laws.
Comments about the project:

"What a godawful pair of penetrating shards into this beautiful, historic building. It's like the building has been stabbed to death by a pair of daggers".

 "This design is parasitic. It has the appeal of the Cordyceps fungus. It's the architectural equivalent of a Xenomorph Chestbuster from the Alien movie series. Or maybe the one from Spaceballs."

 "Imagine if the English bolted a hideous condo tower onto Buckingham Palace. They would never do such a thing and neither should we."

 "I actually refer to these buildings as having a cancer. "
( Photos and comments from urbantoronto.ca)

Kingston is planning to sell a park that was paid for by Ontario taxpayers.

Portsmouth Olympic Park in Kingston (Bruce Bursey photo.)
     Before the 1976 Montreal Olympics, the province of Ontario bought a green space at the Portsmouth Harbour, and gave the property to the people of Kingston. There were conditions:
     The City of Kingston agreed to take over responsibility for maintenance at the end of the Olympics and said that it would be "open to the public as a park compatible with it's water setting."
(See the following document: City of Kingston Projects - Kingston Penitentiary and Portsmouth Olympic Harbour-Opportunities and Constraints - Page 18/140)

Now the City is planning to sell the green space to builders of residential towers.

Wishful thinking --- condominiums on the grounds of Kingston Penitentiary.

One of the current visions for KP and the Portsmouth Harbour:
Exploration Number 1 
Kingston Pen is on the right. According to this drawing, tall buildings, 18-storeys more or less, will be constructed on the west side of the marina. Townhouses will be constructed on the east and west edges of the Pen. Perimeter walls may be removed, to facilitate the construction of a hotel, more housing, room for buses and cars...Wrecking machines will remove the workshop buildings in the southern half of the complex.
One of the visions for Kingston Penitentiary and the Harbour.

All the land within the red lines will remain public, according to the document "Kingston Penitentiary Harbour property-Correctional Service  Canada.- 2015.)
However,  PWGSC and Corrections Canada spent $300,000 to re mediate KP land a few years ago, for the public to enjoy. And PWGSC and the province of Ontario were involved in the redevelopment of the Portsmouth Harbour for the 1976 Summer Olympics, they stipulated that the land and building would remain public after the games. (See Montreal Olympics Official Report 1976, Volume Two, Page 215/238.)

The Olympic Yachting Centre in Kingston. The building was financed by the Federal and Ontario governments, but the title to the building and land were given to the City of Kingston. The entire enterprise cost taxpayers of Canada $6.4 million dollars in 1976. (See-Montreal Olympics Official Report 1976 - Volume One -Page 85/275.).


"Since the facility would later remain available to the public, the government of Ontario provided funds for the purchase of the land, and the federal government shared the cost of the installations".
(From: Montreal Olympics Official Report 1976 - Volume Two - Page 215/238).

Canadian public real estate scandals.

     Public land and taxpayers money were used to house and create venues for Expo '67, the Montreal 1976 Olympics, Harbourfront in Toronto and many other events. The land and buildings were then privatized or demolished to make way for high-rise condo developments.

1.) Harbourfront in Toronto - Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau and civic leaders in Toronto created Harbourfront, a cultural centre on the waterfront. The Centre and its 100 acres of land were supposed to be public lands in perpetuity, for future generations. However, the Canada Lands Company and a Hong Kong developer eventually bought most of the Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Railway land on the harbourfront. Toronto's waterfront is now wall-to-wall high rise condominiums, the only people who can see Lake Ontario are apartment dwellers. The area has been nicknamed "Toronto's Wall of China".

2.) Jericho Beach, Vancouver - RCAF aircraft hangars were re purposed and new buildings were constructed for the 1976 United Nations Conference on Human Settlements. To see the video, google "Habitat 1 - CBC.ca". The video is located at the bottom of the page. The RCAF buildings are gone.

3.)Expo 67 in Montreal -

4.) Montreal 1976 Olympics - The Portsmouth Olympic Harbour ,Kingston; Athlete's Village in Montreal and the Olympic Stadium were 1976 Olympic venues.
 The Federal Government of Canada and Ontario Provincial Government wanted the harbour to remain public, read on:

Montreal Olympics Official Report 1976 Volume Two
Page 215/238

The site of the Olympic Yachting Centre was Portsmouth Harbour in Kingston, Ontario.
"Reconstruction of the harbor began in March 1974. Since the facility would later remain available to the public, the government of Ontario provided funds for the purchase of the land, and the federal government shared the cost of installations."
Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) were involved with dredging and construction of harbour facilities.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5.) The Skydome/Rogers Centre was built on the grounds of a demolished Canadian National Railway roundhouse, the Spadina Roundhouse. Canada Lands Company owns the land beneath the Skydome. The Skydome hotel was privatized. Taxpayers of Canada spent $600 million dollars to build the Rogers Centre.

The "disposal" of federal prisons.

The departments involved with the "disposal" of federal prisons are:
 the Canada Lands Company,
 the Treasury Board of Canada
 and Correctional Services of Canada.
Page 11 of the 18 page document has an aerial photograph showing the major buildings that were slated for demolition at the Quebec federal prison.
     The Kingston Penitentiary is featured on Page 17 with the title "Looking Forward - Kingston Penitentiary Disposal".  
Canada Lands Company never wanted to save the Prison for Women
At least one city politician in Kingston, Ontario tried to save the Prison for Women, he or she wanted to designate the property a heritage site under Part 1V of the Ontario Heritage Act, but:

     "The City received an objection to the notice of intent on September 26 2006 from the then property owner, Correctional Services Canada/Canada Lands Company. A withdrawal of the objection was received by the City on April 29 2008. An important aspect of the withdrawal was the City's inclusion of a provision within the designation by-law stating that the by-law would not be in force while the site was federally owned."

The Federal Government of Canada has banned the redevelopment of the Kingston Penitentiary harbourfront.

All the land within the red lines is green space for the public to enjoy.
Document
Kingston Penitentiary Harbourfront property-Correctional Service of Canada
Update:
     " After the environmental site assessment and risk assessment were completed, cleanup options were presented to CSC. The option chosen was to excavate and replace the impacted soil, so that the land would be revitalized and restored to green space. The remediated area will no longer be leased for boat slips or long term boat storage, so the refreshed space will be open for the public to have and enjoy!"
The entire Portsmouth Olympic Harbour is 8.3080 hectares.

Prison sites in Australia that are protected by the United Nations. And unprotected prison sites in Kingston, Ontario.

Kingston Penitentiary (Photo from Wikimapia.)

Collins Bay Institution (Wikipedia)
         
The former Prison for Women in Kingston. (Wikipedia).
The Fremantle Prison in Western Australia is a massive limestone penitentiary that was wholly constructed by inmates in 1852. The six-hectare site included a prison cellblock, a gatehouse, perimeter walls, workshops, a hospital, chapel, guard houses, cottages and tunnels. A Royal Australian Mint gold coin commemorates Fremantle Prison:

The Kingston Penitentiary was constructed with limestone by KP inmates, between the years 1833 and 1834. The site includes a cell block, perimeter walls, guard towers, workshops, a massive dome and tunnels.
Collins Bay was also built with limestone, by KP inmates. Local residents call the institution "Disneyland North." Collins Bay, as well as most of the older federal prisons in Canada will be decommissioned in the future, see the four documents below:
1.)
Let the Future Begin - 1997
2.) Frontenac Institution Lands - Queen's University - Pages 71, 72, 73, 74 and 117.

3.) A Roadmap to Strengthening Public Safety - October 2007 Report - A huge new prison will be built in Kingston, Ontario and the  complex will be populated from the consolidation of existing institutions:

Pittsburgh
Joyceville
Warkworth
Regional Treatment Centre
Kingston Penitentiary
Millhaven Penitentiary (From page 197/255 of the Report.)
 Joyceville and Pittsburgh prison farmland will net $2 million dollars, while the sale of the Kingston Regional Headquarters complex will bring in $17 million dollars. (From page 206/255 of the Report.)

4.) City of Kingston Official Plan - May 1, 2018 - Page 49---Special Planning Areas - "The Special Planning Areas include the Collins Bay Institution and a portion of the Canadian Forces Base Kingston. Both of these areas could be the subject of further development in the future..."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Prison for Women is located across the street from Kingston Penitentiary. A local developer recently bought the property, he is planning to remove all the evidence that the building was once a prison, and relocate the bars etc. to a museum. Then the building will be gutted and converted into condominiums and commercial space. High rise condominiums will be built on the surrounding greenspace,blocking the view of the women's prison. A tunnel connecting P4W to the Kingston Pen was sealed off.
City of Kingston - Heritage Properties Working Group - June 26, 2018

     Prison for Women (P4W)
The report to Council requests direction on
1.) Taller buildings on the site.
2.) Community benefit considerations for the restoration to the heritage building; and
3.) Removing the heritage attributes of the current designation bylaw.
A 2007 letter sent to me by the Honourable Peter Milliken, Member of Parliament for Kingston and the Islands.
Prison for Women locking mechanisms:

The master locking mechanisms on the cells were invented during the 1880's by a Saint-Vincent-de-Paul Penitentiary inmate.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Port Arthur Asylum for mentally-ill convicts.

The Hyde Park Barracks in Sydney, Australia.

Rockwood Asylum for mentally-ill prisoners in Kingston Penitentiary.

The Hyde Park Barracks were built by convicts in 1817. During the years 1862 until 1886 the complex was a female asylum. The site is now a museum.
The Rockwood Asylum was constructed in 1859 to house the "criminally insane" of Kingston Penitentiary. Rockwood is currently endangered for several reasons:
1.) The owner of Rockwood is an Ontario Crown corporation that privatizes provincial buildings and land--- the Ontario Realty Corporation, now called Infrastructure Ontario.
2.) The Ontario Realty Corporation is now selling most of the land on the huge property to developers. High rise buildings will block views of Lake Ontario and the the Asylum.

Rockwood was constructed with limestone, therefore the buildings may last for thousands of years. The Great Pyramid of Giza is 4,000 years old, and the foundation of the Parthenon in Athens, Greece is limestone.

The former Kingston Penitentiary warden's residence is now a museum. (Document sent to me by the Federal Heritage Buildings Review Office in Gatineau, Quebec.)
The former residence of the deputy warden of Kingston Penitentiary. The building at 525 King Street West then became a half-way house for female prisoners, the Isabel Mc Neill House.

The Penitentiary Water Tower
Again , Kingston Penitentiary inmates built the limestone water tower, located on Sir John A. Macdonald Boulevard. The nearby farmland and quarry were sold by Corrections Canada to Queen's University in 1969.

At one time the Kingston Penitentiary was called The Portsmouth Penitentiary.

Cultural references to the Kingston Penitentiary:
In 1842 Charles Dickens visited the prison and wrote an essay about the experience, beginning with the words "There is an admirable jail here, well and wisely governed..."
And Ernest Hemingway wrote a story about a 1923 jailbreak at the Pen.

What will happen to prison sites in Kingston if they are not preserved by the United Nations/UNESCO:
They will be destroyed:
The New Westminster Federal Penitentiary was almost completely demolished. One of the few buildings saved was The Gatehouse, which is now The Pen restaurant. I noticed that Australia's National Flag is flying in front of the Fremantle Gatehouse. Canada's Maple Leaf Flag was removed from the Kingston Penitentiary, Prison for Women and Saint-Vincent-de-Paul Penitentiary.

The Saint-Vincent-de-Paul Federal Penitentiary in Laval, Quebec was a Recognized Federal Heritage Building. In 1873 the first inmates from Kingston Penitentiary arrived by boat to the Laval penitentiary.
Saint-Vincent-de-Paul federal Penitentiary (Photo by Pierre Vidal).
 Yesterday a person from the Parks Canada Agency told me that heritage designations are nothing more than honourary titles---the terms National Historic Site of Canada; Classified Federal Heritage Building and Recognized Federal Heritage Building mean nothing.They offer no protection whatsoever, a new owner can demolish a privatized railway station, lighthouse, prison, museum, etc. or convert it into condominiums.

According to the document "Portsmouth Visioning" half of the Kingston Penitentiary will be demolished. That includes most of the perimeter walls, guard towers and buildings.
Councillors at Kingston City Hall agreed to this monstrosity, in fact they called the project "exciting".

The words "if possible" appear quite frequently in the document, for example, guard towers will be saved "if possible". Holes big enough to drive a bus through will be punched through the remaining walls.
 Residential towers will be 25-storeys high.
