If the right to private property is unlimited, people die, just like with gun rights-. But Canada's doing something about it?

Are you against doing stuff that might make life safe for even the poor?
How do you think about Trudeau's statement-. That private property is not an unlimited right?

He said it's not "absolute" to be clear, before he went on to say that all the necessary steps for expropriation would be followed. I assume that means compensating the parties whose land is taken for a public purpose, just like in the US.

Back to the point, the right to own property is not [i]absolute[/i]. The Fifth Amendment even says that if it is confiscated, there has to be just compensation.

@MistyCee LoL. It means taking most of what each billionaire "owns". Taxing each huge corporation until it's not so huge.
It's so hard to picture normal for a Dem.

@Changeisgonnacome It sure looks to me like he's talking, or maybe trying to talk about seizing Russian assets and not primarily socialist wealth redistribution.

@MistyCee yes. It's a speech about oligarchy wealth, mainly foreigners.
