The Government of Canada recently announced that $8.3 billion dollars worth of property in the parks will be sold off, including bridges, dams, highways, roads and nature trails. It is time for the United Nations to rescue Crown property from the vultures who are currently profiting from the sale of my land, buildings and infrastructure...Several parks in the Northwest Territories and Alberta are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. In a participatory democracy, the people of Canada would be consulted before their land is sold. There would be debates in the House of Commons; polls; referendums. American President Obama used Executive Orders to sell federal property. In Canada, Executive Orders are called Federal Orders-in-Council; Orders-in-Council facilitated the sale of everything from Experimental Farm land in Ottawa to 1,000 acre military bases. I know, I spent years poring over books and documents in libraries and the Dominion Archives.
Because I care. Because I want future generations to have the opportunity to visit our national parks and not see "Private Property" and "No Trespassing" signs. Because I want Canadians to marvel at the architecture of Kingston Penitentiary, and the Chateau Laurier and the thousands of other endangered buildings in this country. Because the Dominion Observatory in Ottawa should never have been decommissioned, and the Gonzales Observatory in Victoria B.C. should never have been sold. As a 14-year-old I gazed at the universe through a Dominion Observatory telescope, and that experience is etched in my mind.

Why does Canada still have a Governor General?
The autocratic Privy Council Orders in Council are approved and signed by the Governor General, who is the Queen's representative in Canada. I thought The Constitution Act of 1982 was Canada's Declaration of Independence. (I was on Parliament Hill in  and saw the Queen sign the Constitution Act of 1982.) Canada was given legal autonomy as a self-governing Dominion. A foreign power or entity should not have the power to sell our:
National Parks
Penitentiaries - New Westminster, BC; Prison for Women, Kingston; Kingston Penitentiary; Saint-Vincent-de-Paul, Laval, Quebec.
Museums - Old War Museum, Sussex Drive Ottawa.
Veterans Hospitals - Smyth Road Ottawa; Senneville Lodge in Quebec; George Derby lands, BC.
 Fisheries and Oceans rescue bases.
1,000 lighthouses, the entire portfolio. Even Peggy's Cove was sold off.
Agriculture Canada experimental farms and research stations.

Canada should not be a Dominion.
The word "Dominion" means "territory of a sovereign or government; a colony".
