Some comments from me.

[Rocky Mountain Outlook @rmoutlook]

The eyes of municipalities and developers throughout the province will be on the ongoing Land and Property Rights Tribunal (LPRT) case between the Town of Canmore and developers on off-site costs. https://t.co/TOuv0UPWxJ

I had a lot of fun talking about two of my favourite topics: zoning and covenants!

[Faculti @FacultiNet]

Restrictive covenants and statutory land use controls are both capable of promoting private or public interests, but there is tension surrounding their use. Eran Kaplinsky @EranKaplinsky @UAlberta @UAlbertaLaw explores the relationship between the two devices and discusses the courts’ evolving approach to resolving conflicts between restrictive covenants and restrictive land use controls that apply to the same property #law https://t.co/nVetEBdleT

So it might reasonably be thought that the basis on which compensation would be paid for land compulsorily acquired would be provided for by statute. And so it is." -- Waters v Welsh Dev. Agency [2004] UKHL 19

At Cardiff Bay Barrage. The site is associated with Roald Dahl, but also with a famous expropriation case elucidating, among other things, the Pointe Gourde rule. Here's my favourite quote: /2

[Eran Kaplinsky • ערן • عيران @EranKaplinsky]

"Compulsory expropriation of land is a creature of statute. There is no common law right or extant crown prerogative that allows such a thing. /3

@dhampirbf לִבִּי בְמִזְרָח וְאָנֹכִי בְּסוֹף מַעֲרָב
אֵיךְ אֶטְעֲמָה אֵת אֲשֶׁר אֹכַל וְאֵיךְ יֶעֱרָב
אֵיכָה אֲשַׁלֵּם נְדָרַי וָאֱסָרַי, בְּעוֹד
צִיּוֹן בְּחֶבֶל אֱדוֹם וַאֲנִי בְּכֶבֶל עֲרָב
יֵקַל בְּעֵינַי עֲזֹב כָּל טוּב סְפָרַד, כְּמוֹ
יֵקַר בְּעֵינַי רְאוֹת עַפְרוֹת דְּבִיר נֶחֱרָב

Read "Strawberry Fields Forever? Some Observations About Restrictive Covenants and Zoning" here: https://t.co/W6RjymUZnw

[Alberta Law Review @altalawreview]

This article, by @UAlbertaLaw Professor @EranKaplinsky, explores the tension surrounding the use of restrictive covenants and statutory land use covenants.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

I wanted to share some thoughts on what’s happening right now in Israel and Gaza.

@taliafrances @ZachOfWilson Congratulations!

Honoured to have my contribution about zoning and covenants, "Strawberry Fields Forever?" published in this volume.

@yuval_ganor Rothman poses a danger to justice and peace.

[Eran Kaplinsky • ערן • عيران @EranKaplinsky]

@AndrewBernstei9 I agree. And I share in your disappointment. Some comments from academics (and unions, etc.) are driven by callous ambition and an inflated sense of self importance, with little regard to the feelings of other members of their communities.

[Eran Kaplinsky • ערן • عيران @EranKaplinsky]

I have zero issues with @CBCNews taking care to separate "fact" from "opinion", provided they do so across all areas of reporting.

[National Post @nationalpost]

CBC tells journalists to not call Hamas 'terrorists' in leaked memo https://t.co/PZa0cpqA4L

Edmontonians deserve better.

[Amarjeet Sohi @AmarjeetSohiYEG]

When events unfold across the globe, they can have a deep impact on people who live in our city. The attacks taking place in Israel and Gaza targeting innocent civilians are horrific.

I know that many Edmontonians have friends and family in these areas, and I am extending my support and empathy to them. We stand with you and share in your hope for a just and lasting peace in the region.
