Since the Freedom Convoy numerous Municipalities/Corporations attempted to overreach their authority and force private citizens to take down F🍁ck Trudeau flags from private property. One of the most comical over-reactions was from the Reeve/Mayor of North Huron Bernard Bailey who called the police in a panic when he saw a F🍁ck Trudeau flag downtown Wingham at Buck & Jo’s. The OPP never showed up at Buck & Jo’s, as it would have been a massive Rights violation if they did.
Several recent highly publicized rulings have re-affirmed that corporate/municipal by-law enforcement officers do not have authority on their customer’s private property.
Municipal by-law officers are hired to hold town staff to account by inspecting our infrastructure on a regular basis, and order it brought up to standard by staff, or they can contract it out. These corporate by-law officers only have authority on the Corporation’s land/assets. If there is any crumbling infrastructure, weeds in the sidewalks, snow on the sidewalks, it is the by-law officer’s job to force town staff to do their jobs.
In some municipalities still plagued with redneckery, corrupt by-law officers have instead been illegally harassing, trespassing, confiscating private property, entering homes/property without warrant, under the pretense of authority. They illegally threaten massive $10,000+/day fines, and to sell your home if you don’t pay by putting in on your property taxes. Fighting these illegal fines/orders cost victims between $25,000 – $100,000.
North Huron with a population of under 5,000 has over 60 complaints per year for by-law infractions on private property. If those 60 victims all fight this illegal overreach, it would cost between $1.5 million – $6 million collectively in legal fees. Extrapolated for Ontario, that would amount to over $500,0000/year.
In North Huron the same lawyer/law firm is used for the Corporation of North Huron’s corrupt backroom real estate deals, and for illegally prosecuting by-law infractions on private land. The lawyers get millions in legal fees from the victims, and also get money from North Huron taxpayers to prosecute the innocent victim. This illegal/unconstitutional behavior generates millions of dollars in wealth for those participating in this illegal overreach.
Please take the time to contact North Huron council and demand they stop this illegal activity, like many other Municipalities/Corporations have already done across Ontario.
