We Own the Sidewalks

As I was about to set up my tripod one afternoon for a shot in front of the RBC Building at Bay and Wellington in Toronto, a security guard almost immediately comes storming out of the building demanding to know what I was doing. I looked up and said: "taking a photo." He said that I was on private property (the sidewalk) and that I would have to move.

When asked where the properties boundaries extended to, he looked confused and just pointed nondescriptly to the curb. Apparently they own the sidewalks.
