Please share that we have posted #446 of the Municipal Code which the Town of Fort
Erie says gives them their authority to clean up unsightly properties under
their control.
Please Share that those in charge of the Town of Fort Erie see's the Municipal Code as giving them carte blanche to do anything they wish, to anyone they wish, and to confiscate any and all private property they find on their selectively targeted property.

Please Share that the Town of Fort Erie uses the Municipal Act to operate in a disgusting and thuggish manner with the blessing of the Doug Ford Conservative Provincial Government and our so-called judicial system.

Perhaps some enlightened individual can point to the clause that allows municipal authorities to confiscate a persons 'Tools of their Trade' or seize and scrap customer's licensed and plated vehicles or to hold customer's vehicles for ransom?
Perhaps some enlightened individual can point to the clause that allows police officers the right to trespass on private property without a warrant?
Perhaps some enlightened individual can explain why bylaws officers are decked out with 'intimidating NRP look-alike uniforms and as an untrained sergeant no less?

What can we expect next? Armed bylaw officers maybe or the specter of the 'NRP Armored Tank' to help quell victimized innocent Citizens!
Innocent Citizens must be ready to expect anything once their Ontario and municipal government turns on them!

The only protection for the Citizen is at the ballot box at election time once each Citizen finally learns the risk of an authoritative government!
Please tell everyone that News Alert Niagara apologizes if this article seems one sided! It certainly would be our preference to give the Town of Fort Erie's side of their conduct. Unfortunately, the Town of Fort Erie is far to arrogant to speak on their own behalf regarding their choice of action or their activities.
However, the Town of Fort Erie, like anyone else, has every right and opportunity to make comment in the comment section provided at the bottom of the article just the way Citizens have to communicate with their civic leaders.
The difference is that the 'News Alert Niagara' posted comments are available for all to see even without the prompting of the Ontario Ombudsman's Office!
