you know that some of the eminent domain that's being used to acquire pipeline real-estate is eminent domain that is being used by a PRIVATE corporation? I didn't think such a thing was possible. Thought it HAD to be government that has that kind of power to seize real estate. But apparently in this situation Trans Canada, a private foreign corporation, is empowered to use eminent domain. WTF!!!
