	_If_ the entire world was privately owned (and under current 
international law this is not possible), and every owner wanted you off 
his property, then you would have a slight problem.  However, on a 
smaller scale, you can't hold a picnic on the grounds of JRGRL in 
Mississauga without INCO's permission, set up a sales booth in 
Scarbouough Town Centre without the permission of the management, or even 
visit Sir Wilfrid Laurier CI (which is public property) without the 
permission of the principal.
	As long as you are within Canada, you are subject to the laws of 
Canada from the Canada Act on down to such things as contract law, 
trespass, and Theft of Electricity.  If you don't like it, try running 
for a seat in the House of Commons.  Of course if you're scared of 
getting -1% of the vote again (corrected for the donkey vote), you could 
just try a private bill.
