Property rights are fundamental to individual freedom and autonomy. But unlike many other rights, they are not explicitly protected by Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms. So what property rights do Canadians actually have?

In this course, learn how property rights are protected by the common law and statute and explore the relationship between property rights and the Charter, Aboriginal title, civil forfeiture, and expropriation law.

Lectures are delivered by scholars and lawyers from across the country, with short quizzes to reinforce your knowledge.

Take the course at your own pace and discover why property rights are essential to freedom and a powerful check on government power.
