Podcasts about expropriation

Quebec's commercial real estate market has changed fast, and the old "local only" playbook does not hold up anymore. Louis Bergeron, partner at HPDG, joins Axel Monsaingeon to unpack what appraisers are seeing before the headlines: how developers now chase opportunities across the province, why 2024 felt frozen, and what shifted in 2025 to bring buyers and sellers closer together. Louis also shares the real story behind PDG's roots coming out of Desjardins, how the firm grew through acquisitions and mergers, and why a merger has to be "1 + 1 = 3" or it is not worth doing. They dig into PDG's full-service model from valuation and property management to tax appeals, litigation support, and expropriation tied to major projects like the REM and the Blue Line extension. Louis closes with what PDG is building for 2026, including a refreshed brand and a bigger push to share market insights, plus why comparing cap rates is often harder than people think.   Topics & Timestamps

The boundaries of judicial authority in Canada have been redrawn by a groundbreaking Supreme Court ruling that empowers judges to conduct murder trials without juries—even when prosecutors object. This remarkable case emerged from the early pandemic when COVID-19 made traditional jury trials nearly impossible. A defendant, unwilling to face further delay, requested a judge-alone trial, but prosecutors refused consent. The Supreme Court ultimately sided with the trial judge who proceeded anyway, establishing that protecting a defendant's right to timely justice can override prosecutorial preferences.This ruling fundamentally reshapes our understanding of what falls within a prosecutor's untouchable "core discretion" versus what judges can override to protect Charter rights. Legal scholars are now watching closely to see how this precedent might extend to other prosecutorial decisions previously considered untouchable.Property rights received equal attention through a fascinating case where a regional district built what the court bluntly called an "ugly dam" on part of a 157-acre ranch property in the Kootenays. Though only a small portion of land was taken, it transformed a pristine natural lake into an artificial-looking reservoir with an unsightly rocky dam. The court awarded the owner $340,080 in compensation, reinforcing the principle that the government must pay not just for land taken but for how the taking diminishes a property's overall market value.Most controversial is the Nanaimo murder case, challenging Canada's mandatory 25-year parole ineligibility period for first-degree murder. A man who brutally killed someone with a baseball bat argued that, without the now-eliminated "faint hope clause" (which once allowed parole reviews after 15 years), this sentence constitutes cruel and unusual punishment. Though the judge found the elimination of this clause unconstitutional, the offender still received the full 25-year parole ineligibility due to the brutality of his crime.These cases collectively demonstrate how our legal system constantly balances competing interests—public safety against individual rights, government needs against property ownership, and societal punishment against constitutional protections against cruelty.Follow this link for a transcript of the show and links to the cases discussed.

This episode is a talk by Joanna Kusiak at the Think&Drink Colloquium of Georg-Simmel-Centre for Urban Studies at Humboldt University Berlin. It gives insights into her new book Radically Legal: Berlin Constitutes the Future (2024). Right in the middle of the German constitution, a group of ordinary citizens discovers a forgotten clause that allows them to take 240,000 homes back from multi-billion corporations. In this work of creative non-fiction, scholar-activist and Nine Dots Prize winner Joanna Kusiak tells the story of a grassroots movement that convinced a million Berliners to pop the speculative housing bubble. She offers a vision of urban housing as democratically held commons, legally managed by a radically new institutional model that works through democratic conflicts. Moving between interdisciplinary analysis and her own personal story, Kusiak connects the dots between the past and the present, the local and the global, and shows the potential of radically legal politics as a means of strengthening our democracies and reviving the rule of law. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core. https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/radically-legal/7DB8C3F3E9272466A3926DCE9006CFBE#fndtn-information

Is expropriation, or forcing corporations to sell apartments to the government, a way to ease the housing crisis? Berlin seems to think so. In a landmark referendum back in 2021, the majority of Berliners voted ‘yes' to forced sales, calling for the government to buy 240,000 apartments owned by some of Berlin's mega landlords - whether they want to sell or not. Some call the strategy “radical” but needed. Others say it's unconstitutional. But is it a viable solution to Berlin's housing crisis, and could it work here in Canada? In this episode, we dive into the history behind Berlin's expropriation campaign and try to figure out if a similar referendum on housing could succeed on this side of the Atlantic.You can find more episodes of City Space here, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

Land reform has been at the forefront of political debate in South Africa in recent months, leading to strained relations with Donald Trump and his administration. A new law allows the government to expropriate land without compensation in rare cases where the land is abandoned or not being used. This has led some farmers and activists to call on the US president and Elon Musk for help, claiming that White South Africans are victims of racial persecution. But on the ground, other farmers say the issue has been plagued with disinformation. To date, no private property has been expropriated without compensation in South Africa. Our correspondents report.

In this wide-ranging interview with BizNews, Gayton McKenzie, the Minister of Sports, Arts and Culture, gives behind-the-scenes insights into the stance of political parties on VAT and the postponement of the Budget speech. “We had our biggest test for me since joining the GNU this week…I say we passed that test with flying colours.” However, he calls on all political leaders to “restrain ourselves from beating our chest and then making the GNU look bad”. McKenzie stresses that the GNU is “sacrosanct” to the future of South Africa - and says: “If this GNU fails, I am leaving this country.” He also speaks about his meeting with AfriForum, saying: “What we managed to agree on is one thing: that there's no white genocide”. However, he says the African National Congress (ANC) was “very clumsy” in its handling of the Expropriation with Compensation Bill - and the GNU now has to craft new foreign policy. As for the next national elections, McKenzie warns: “Zuma is the threat for the GNU in 2029….You will see President Zuma in 2029 if the GNU doesn't stop him."

Expropriation Act Raises Concerns Over Banking Stability and Lending Practices: IRR by Radio Islam

The Expropriation Act, recently enacted by President Cyril Ramaphosa, has spark retaliatory measures by the United States. Domestically, the Institute for Race Relations (IRR) warns of disruptions in the banking sector's practice of using property as collateral for home loans. Anlu Keeve told Biznews in an interview that the loss of stable property value as collateral could have a ripple effect throughout the economy. Higher credit risks for financial institutions may lead banks to tighten lending criteria, raise interest rates, and limit credit availability. Keeve also highlights the risks of increased investor nervousness and potential capital flight. Addressing criticisms that the IRR's warnings are alarmist or fear mongering, Keeve points to historical precedents, citing Zimbabwe and Venezuela as examples of the economic chaos that can follow expropriation measures. "In Zimbabwe," she adds, "houses in Harare weren't confiscated, but their value still collapsed."

In an exclusive BizNews interview with Bronwyn Nielsen, Helen Zille discusses the DA's legal bid to have the Expropriation Act nullified, citing constitutional and procedural concerns. She warns that the Act could open the door to state overreach and economic instability, arguing that land restitution should remain within existing laws. Zille also weighs in on the Act's implications for South Africa's international relations, including potential fallout with the U.S. under a Trump administration.

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has been fighting to advance his own version of progressive race communism inside the country for many years. Recently, a new law was passed making it easier for the South African government to expropriate land and redistribute it along racial lines. U.S. President Donald Trump drew attention to the issue when he promised on social media that he will deny aid to the country if the expropriation law stays in place. Ernst van Zyl of AfriForum joins me to discuss the situation on the ground and what the expropriation law means for Afrikaners in South Africa.

There have been longstanding calls for reparations to address the profound injustices of colonialism and compensate for the vast extraction of resources from colonized nations. However, with few recent exceptions, these demands for reparations have largely been ignored by the former colonial powers. So, what comes next? Over the past two decades, renewed interest in colonial reparations has emerged within political theory and philosophy, with a focus on assigning responsibility for redress. Yet, relatively little attention has been given to how redress might be achieved in the face of persistent colonial amnesia and apologia. In this episode Dr. Shuk Ying Chan, Assistant Professor in Political Theory at UCL Political Science, proposes a solution: expropriation (the unilateral public takeover of foreign assets) as a justified response to these overdue reparations. In her argument, she shifts the focus from simply determining responsibility for reparative justice to exploring what victims of past injustices, or their descendants, are justified in doing to claim what they are owed. She also addresses the unique challenges of pursuing such political resistance at the global level. Mentioned in this episode: Chan, S.Y. (20024) Expropriation as Reparation.
