Should I not be able to apply for a building permit and build on my "own" land? Building permit? I own the land, why should I even need a building permit?

When you have 3 million owners, I guess you need to have a few house rules to try and keep the peace. There definitely can't be 3 million sets of rules.
You in fact have every right to squat on crown land in Canada. If you can prove that you have been there for a certain amount of time you can still be granted squatter's rights. Officials can have you move along and/or remove any structures before this happens however.

This is the question of why one person is allowed to build a house and another is not because of the use of different tools or materials.
