Ridiculous article in National Post

The one I quoted from the article.

I looked into leasing some Crown land in Saskatchewan three years ago, and very nearly purchased an outfitting camp and lease. The Crown can impose restrictions OR easements on lease land as they see fit.

I wouldn't take anything that is written in that article as fact.....that quote, like much of the remainder of the article was fraught with inaccuracies. As I said, where you are things may be different but this is Alberta and certain types of grazing leases require the leaseholder's permission to access.

Definitely! Most lease land requires permision, but some have express, written, easments for access.

another prime example of a special interest group pushing people off land via a 3rd party.... just like the GAMP watershed protection...
the planners told the various users who attended the first planning meeting "dont even think about this area on the map, an outfitter that Ralph Klein uses has been promised sole use of that area."....

all this boils down to is a big game of chess, i have seen this game played before... it works, we lose, they win....

This specific land has Crown imposed easement for recreational use. Any trail on that land will be designated as a "highway allowance" or some such verbage.
You are correct in that the lease holder has to be notified, but the lease holder cannot deny access, so I don't know how that's supposed to work.

Do these rules apply to other types of agricultural dispositions?
If the land is under another type of agricultural disposition, recreational users do not have to contact the permit or license holder. These other types of agricultural dispositions include grazing permits, cultivation permits, grazing licences, authorizations to harvest hay or head tax grazing permits.

But again, it depends on the specific terms of the lease...even in Alberta

What a load of crap! I wonder how many people will read that and belive it as truth?

Well everyone that doesn't own a firearm, or hunt. FS

I'm born and raised so leased land is my land AND theirs! I don't drive all over lease land because it's MINE and I have a responsibility to preserve it and I'm not a cripple, not because I'm "not allowed to"!

PS: Am I mistaken, or was the guy #####ing about the tire tracks on "his" land because they weren"t his!?!?!?!
