> Mind boggling that Canadian law constructed a civil no-notice (i.e. unappealable) instrument with third-party enforcement. That literally cedes the state's monopoly on violence.
No, the monopoly on the legitimated use of force (“monopoly on violence” in popular alternative, though less clear, phrasing) is not ceded when the State legitimizes force applied by entities that are not full-time agents of the State.
It's only ceded when the State allows some other entity to become accepted as legitimately (in the eyes of the people) able to exercise or authorize force without regard to the rules and procedures of the State.
