CONT

Canadian jurisdictions do not have to contend with the concept of "non-adverse" possession. The Canadian Acts are either drawn from the [UK], "Real Property Limitation Act, 1833", or are of more recent vintage and have overcome the problem by a series of statutory presumptions and rules which produce conclusions without reference to the state of mind of the squatter. (Williams, J.S., Limitation of Actions, p. 92)
