When Canadian federal properties are privatized.

Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa.

A 1975 front page Ottawa Journal newspaper article.  Federal Minister of Agriculture Eugene Whelan  refused to sell any of the Experimental Farm.

The Montgomery's Tavern National Historic Site of Canada, 2384 Yonge Street, Toronto, Ontario - Montgomery's Tavern became the Headquarters for William Lyon Mackenzie's "Upper Canada Rebellion." The building later became Postal Station K.

The Chateau Laurier Hotel, Ottawa resembles a European medieval castle. Guidelines provided in the document "Rideau Canal National Historic Site-Principles for Good Waterfront Development": 2.) Conserve historic buildings and cultural heritage features. It is particularly important to conserve and reuse historic houses and cottages; lodges, mills, barns, fences and other cultural heritage features to preserve the landscape character of the Rideau Corridor. 4.) New buildings should be designed to complement the landscape character and architectural style of the surrounding area. Buildings should be in proportion to the size and frontage of the property to fit in with the surrounding built environment." The Rideau Canal was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007.

Kingston Penitentiary, Kingston ,Ontario - Three of the walls that surround the former pen will be removed; guard towers will be preserved "if possible" and eleven limestone buildings are slated for demolition.

The American Embassy, 490 Sussex Drive, Ottawa - The architectural design of the Embassy would never be approved today, because the building looms over the ByWard Market, and the style of the Embassy does not conform to the style of nearby landmarks - the Parliament Buildings; the Connaught Building, 555 Mackenzie Avenue that resembles a castle; the Chateau Laurier Hotel and the Conference Centre on Rideau Street. Sussex Drive is "Ottawa's Mile of History".

 The Sir John Carling Building can be seen in the distance. The Carling building is gone, YouTube has several videos of the demolition, including slow motion and high-definition views. A brand new medical centre may be built on the Farm---a National Historic Site of Canada. Noise and light pollution, helicopters landing on the roof, a massive influx of cars and emergency vehicles and the disruption caused by construction will ruin Little Italy; Dow's Lake; the Dominion Observatory Campus and Commissioner's Park, which is sacred ground. The Ottawa Tulip Festival is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the City. 


UPDATING: Politicians who are opposed to a new Civic Hospital being built on the Experimental Farm are Leader of the Opposition Pierre Poilievre and Ottawa politician Clive Doucet.

A YouTube video called "Ottawa prepares to hand over Historic Federal Farm land to Corporate Developers" outlines the reasons why a new Civic Hospital should not be located on the Agriculture Canada land.
The government of Pierre Trudeau created a compendium with the images and descriptions of numerous government properties. For example: The former Energy, Mines and Resources campus, now called the Booth Street Complex: 

The Natural Resources Canada Booth Street Complex, Ottawa - 1983.

 The Pierre Trudeau government also:
---Refused to sell or transfer Ottawa's Experimental Farm land.

---The Trudeau government documented how many properties Canada Post owned, which was 2,200---"1984 Report of the Auditor General of Canada" Chapter 13.

---Created a Crown corporation called "Harbourfront" after the government of Canada bought 100 acres of industrial waterfront land in Toronto. The land was supposed to be green space "for future generations".

----A government of Canada official signed the" UN Convention for the Protection of Cultural and Natural Heritage" treaty in 1976. UNESCO was created to protect international cultural landmarks and landscapes that are threatened by redevelopment or neglect. Quebec City and Lunenberg,  Nova Scotia are already UNESCO World Heritage cities--- Canada's lighthouses, and the Kingston Penitentiary and nearby buildings should also be protected by UNESCO.

Fisheries and Oceans Canada privatized their portfolio of lighthouses, 1,000. That includes Peggy's Cove and the Bonaventure Lighthouse, which can be seen in a YouTube video: Google "This Land is Your Land Canada (music video)" by The Travellers.
