I'm in way late on this thread but I think Capitalism just died in America.

This ruling is so open to abuse that the most tinfoil hate conspiracy theory is completely reasonable.

I think you are going to see Waco style confrontations with ordinary Americans and innocent people are going to be hurt or killed.

Even in Canada the government cannot seize your property without fair compensation at market value and judgments can be appealed in Provincial court.

The Province or Municipalities must be able to demonstrate the expropriation is necessary for the public good and may only occur in cases of major infrastructure projects.

In no case can the government expropriate land for private use or economic development.

"I think you are going to see Waco style confrontations with ordinary Americans and innocent people are going to be hurt or killed."

The first innocent Americans likely to be killed will be that dear old couple in New London, Connecticut, who are over 80, been married 50 years, and always lived in the same house.

When you deracinate very old people, they usually die rather quickly.

Forcing them from the only home they have ever known as a married couple for over half a century will almost surely kill them.

Will that be sufficient to block the application of eminent domain?
Of course not.
