Originally, Canada only took a road crossing once a mile for a north/south road and every two miles for an east/west road. Since then, most of the roads in the province have been given to the province as a condition of subdivision. CP doesn't typically subdivide so the province has had no opportunity to take the crossings.
Expropriation is likely an option but I don't know why that is not done.

Cp is trying to close crossings south east of Calgary because the trains are over a mile. they can no longer stop a Train without interfering with crossing
