A Certificate of Title I came across at work the other day listed "Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Alberta as Represented by the Minister of Environmental Protection" as an interest holder on that particular quarter-section of Alberta land.
Before I continue I would like to point out that ALL government (crown) land is owned by Her Majesty the Queen. Think about that; do you think Stephan Harper has the absolute final say on what is done with this land? Not a chance... it's owned by the Queen of England! The sad truth is that Canadian soil is not owned by Canadians, despite what we're led to believe.
Regardless, the work that I was doing required using the current name for that department and I was informed earlier from a credible source that I should double-check that because it may have changed; as is frequently the case with government departments such as this.
Upon investigation I discovered the name had indeed changed to "Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Alberta as Represented by the Minister of Sustainable Resource Development".
From Environmental Protection to Sustainable Resource Development.
Let's think about that for a moment; Environmental Protection is somewhat specific and conveys a relatively negative image, as in the environment is in danger and we need to protect it. Whereas Sustainable Resource Development is much softer, fairly vague, and casts a positive light on a government position that has not changed, except in name.
Personally, I see this as just one of the millions of ways our governments use slight-of-hand to constantly and consistantly deceive us into believing that they're working in the best interest of the people and the country itself.
The majority of those at the highest levels are not working in our countries best interest; they are in it for themselves. They are in it for money, power, and most of all, control. Our money, our power, and our control.
Remember: the government works FOR the people... the people do not work FOR the government; and this is the misconception relentlessly used to fool us into submission - as if we are powerless against the will of the state.
We are not powerless. Together, we ARE the power.
