Squatters' Rights in Canada: Myth vs. Reality

Do squatters really have rights in Canada? Learn the truth behind one of Canada's most misunderstood legal topics, including how adverse possession works, common myths, and why the rules vary by province.

Can someone really move into your property and eventually own it?

Despite what viral posts suggest, Canada does not have a simple “squatters’ rights” rule. Staying in an empty home, receiving mail, or paying a tax bill does not automatically make someone the owner.

Adverse possession is real—but it is narrow, difficult to prove, heavily restricted by modern land-title systems, and different in every province. In practice, the bigger problem may be the slow and expensive legal process required to recover possession—not losing ownership itself. ([Remiel Law][1])
**The myth is simple. The law is not.

*Why does estate administration take so long?

Because somewhere, right now, an exhausted clerk is being buried alive under probate forms, estate accounts, receipts, tax returns, bank statements, missing documents, and “just one more thing” emails.

The process is rarely quick. Estate files are paperwork-heavy, detail-driven, and often slowed by missing information, court timelines, financial institutions, and good old-fashioned bureaucracy.

In other words: it’s not always chaos… but sometimes chaos does wear a tie. Estate accounting is not for the weak.

Personal injury law is more than 4,000 years old.

Long before modern courts, insurance claims, and damage assessments, the ancient Sumerians were already assigning compensation for broken bones, lost teeth, severed limbs, and other injuries.

The Code of Ur-Nammu, dating to roughly 2100 BCE, often replaced physical retaliation with payments of silver—an early shift from revenge toward compensation and structured justice. ([Remiel Law][1])

Liberty is not arrogance.
Real freedom leaves room for doubt, humility, and reflection.

Learned Hand’s words are a reminder that the spirit of liberty is not blind certainty, but the willingness to question ourselves, our power, and our assumptions.

“The spirit of liberty is the spirit which is not too sure that it is right.” — Learned Hand

False accusations are not a modern problem. Nearly 4,000 years ago, the Code of Hammurabi made them the subject of its very first law.

In ancient Babylon, accusing someone of a serious crime without being able to prove it could carry the same punishment intended for the accused—including death.

Why did one of history’s earliest legal codes treat false allegations so severely? And how did ancient courts attempt to determine the truth without police investigations, DNA evidence, or forensic science?

Justice was never simply given—it was demanded.

Emmeline Pankhurst’s words still hit hard today: when justice is denied long enough, resistance is inevitable.

The rights we now consider ordinary were once considered radical. They were won by people who refused to stay silent.

“If men will not do us justice, they shall do us violence.” — Emmeline Pankhurst

Stability alone is not proof that a country is thriving.

True progress depends on more than strong institutions or economic growth. It also requires the rule of law, accountability, and respect for fundamental human rights.

As Kofi Annan reminded us, these principles are not optional. They are the foundation of a just and prosperous society.

In 1928, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that women were not “persons” eligible for appointment to the Senate.

The Famous Five refused to accept that answer.

One year later, the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council overturned the decision, confirming that women were included as “qualified persons” under section 24 of the Constitution Act, 1867.

The Persons Case did more than open the Senate to women. It also helped establish the “living tree” doctrine—the principle that Canada’s Constitution must be capable of growth and adaptation as society changes.

The case was a major turning point, but it did not create full equality overnight. Its history is more complicated, and more important, than the simplified version many of us were taught.

In 1932, Australia faced an unexpected problem: emus were destroying crops across parts of Western Australia.

The government's solution? Deploy soldiers armed with machine guns.

The result?

Emus 1.
Man 0.

The emus won.

Known today as the "Great Emu War," this strange but true chapter of history remains one of the most fascinating examples of government policy colliding with nature.

Welcome to the Royal Court... where His Honour appears to have been unexpectedly crowned. 👑

Inspired by the famous virtual hearing where a lawyer accidentally appeared as a cat, this cartoon imagines a judge discovering—far too late—that a very enthusiastic filter has joined the proceedings.

Fortunately, justice was still served, even if the Court briefly looked a little more... regal than usual.

How much scrutiny should Parliament give legislation before it becomes law?

Recent federal bills, including Bill C-5, Bill C-9, Bill C-12, and Bill C-2, have sparked debate among lawyers, civil liberties groups, Indigenous organizations, and constitutional scholars. Concerns range from Charter rights and privacy protections to Indigenous consultation and procedural fairness.

Paralegals in Ontario can now help with certain family law matters.

A new licence called the Family Legal Services Provider allows trained paralegals to assist with low conflict, procedural family law issues.

They can help with:
• Uncontested or joint divorces
• Child support paperwork and recalculations
• Separation, cohabitation, and marriage agreements where terms are already agreed
• Family court forms and filing steps

They cannot handle contested matters or appear in court.

This is a meaningful change in how family law services are delivered in Ontario.

What Is Mens Rea? (In Plain English)

Mens rea means "guilty mind."

It’s the idea that, to be guilty of a crime, a person must usually have meant to do something wrong or knew what they were doing could hurt someone or break the law.
