Don’t mess with the Sacketts. Just ask the Higgins!

I too have always found the names of the homeowners in this case very ironic. Imagine some bureaucrat telling Kin, Tell, Lando or Barnabas that they can't live on land they've worked to improve.

At least the US Constitution explicitly protects property rights, so it’s much harder for the Supreme Court to completely ignore the issue. The Canadian Constitution has no property protection so it’s open season on property rights. Our governments can expropriate and impose land use restrictions with impunity.
