To my limited knowledge (reading https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/1551870) this seems to be the Canadian norm: you don't own the land under your land

Oh I know. But when the company knocks on your door to tell you that you're being evicted from your home, don't rely on the CAQ to help you.

oh yeah, not saying it's a good thing at all...

Yes. My also limited understanding is that it might be traced back to some of the original treaties with the Indigenous peoples which said (or at least implied) that the Indigenous peoples were ceding only the surface to a depth of several inches.

Sadly, the government then turned that into "Crown ownership" (as contrasted with private ownership) instead of Indigenous ownership. Much to the detriment of the economic and political power of the Indigenous peoples.
