Complain About Crime to Criminals

You might be interested in learning that thousands of Niagara's Citizens have been searching for help in the face of a criminal onslaught by the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority (NPCA).

They have been taking their grievances to every official political body that will even hear them including the board of Directors of the NPCA..

Even the Niagara Regional Government turned them away!

In desperation they sent their grievance to Kathryn McGarry Ontario’s Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry and Liberal Member of Provincial Parliament for Cambridge.

Kathryn McGarry suggests in her letter that the Niagara Citizens go back to the same criminals that they are complaining about to seek their requested forensic audit!


Thank you for your letter regarding your concerns with the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority (NPCA). The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) is currently undergoing a review of the

Conservation Authorities Act  to ensure it is meeting the modern needs of Ontarians. Your concern about the lack of transparency is one we have heard from the public, stakeholders and Indigenous communities as part of this review.


My ministry has identified five key priorities that are the current focus of the review, one of which is strengthening oversight and accountability in conservation authority decision-making. I am aware that improvements can be made to strengthen conservation authority governance and accountability and will be looking to do this when we move forward with new legislation.


However,  I  regret to inform you that the current  avenue to address  any  concerns with  the management of the NPCA would be through your  own municipal-appointed representatives on the NPCA board.


Under the current act, conservation authority boards are set up as corporate bodies and governed by a board of directors, whose members are appointed by the participating municipalities explicitly for the purpose of representing the interests of their communities.  


As local autonomous boards, the ministry does not have the legislative ability to order a forensic audit. The province oversees the  policy  relating to conservation  authorities but it is municipalities, like  you, who have the sole authority to  appoint the boards. MNRF’s interests are in flood control and watershed management, and we have no hand in the operations or operational oversight of conservation  authorities.


Each of the respective participating  municipalities has the re responsibility  to appoint their members consistent with the NPCA’s published board selection process. Appointed members  have the authority to vote and generally act on behalf of their respective municipalities.


I wanted to reiterate that  it is up to the member you have appointed to the NPCA board to  represent the interests of your municipality and its residents.


Therefore, you should direct your local representative on the NPCA board to put forward a motion to the board calling for this thorough investigation. Once this motion is put forward, the board can vote on it and subsequently decide to launch an investigation.


Below is a list of the current board members and the municipalities they represent. I strongly urge you to take up any concerns you  have with the operation of the NPCA with your appointed member.

Councillor Bruce Timms,  Chair Mayor Frank Campion


 Perhaps if Kathryn McGarry knew more about the crime and corruption being carried out by the NPCA she might do more to aid the victims. 


9.2 MNR reserves the right to audit CAs for adherence to these policies and procedures and to review the effectiveness of the policies and procedures with regard to implementation of provincial policies and protection of the provincial interest.

When I owned the property shown here, the NPCA told me no in filling, construction or site alterations were allowed because it was all classed as Provincially Significant Wetland and Flood Plain. After it was purchased by Walker Industries and the City of Welland, this photo was taken.

Kathleen Wynne grants exemptions for big money interests that can afford her kind of pay-to-play politics where those who donate the most money to her party’s election coffers are first in line to have their concerns addressed.
 

Here is a story of a couple who did everything right to start their little business in Welland, Ontario only to be destroyed by the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority. (NPCA)
On top of going back to college, getting all required permits and even paying $thousands for an environment assessment the NPCA crushed them after their first few sales and on what basis?
On the basis of connected underground aquifers, a non-existent Black Gum Tree and a dead turtle skeleton in the roadside ditch.
The Laws permitting this lunacy run closely akin to the old witch-craft trials.

Then there is the story of a couple who made the big mistake of purchasing a so-called ‘Provincially Significant Wetland’ predicated on their love of all things in nature.
Mistake, because taking on the obligation as official PSW managers, they have suffered harassment, extortion and even malicious prosecution, which the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority has been known for in the past.
The Niagara Regional Government not only condones this specious conduct but they even participate by lending regional staff time and facilities including their legal department.
http://newsalertniagara.blogspot.ca/2015/02/protecting-wetlands.html


This crime story began when Conservation authority drained ‘CONSERVATION Land’ onto the White Family farm. Mr. White senior died under the strain of illicit litigation leaving Son Dave and his Mother to carry on defending their innocence against NPCA employee perjurers, who were themselves terminated for not lying good enough! 
Dave complained because the CA was flooding his land. So the Conservation Authority simply changed the designation of Dave’s land to wetland and charged him and his mother with farming a wetland. After four years in court, their entire life savings was sucked out of them.
The Region’s lawyer, representing the Conservation Authority asked the judge to have Dave White and his 82-year-old mother thrown into prison for 2 years and he also requested a $50,000 fine plus costs and all this in the NPCA’s failed attempt to pad their bank account.
However, Dave had proven that the Conservation Authority had changed the mapping and the water course flow in the creeks — amongst other things — to suit their own case.
In the end, the judge saw through  the malicious scheme and chastised Niagara Region's Lawyer for using the court system as a weapon against common people.*


Another failed and costly attempt involved the NPCA in a decades long vendetta against an innocent City of St. Catharines, Ontario resident.
A cabal of so called environment protectors unleashed a tyrannical assault, not only against an innocent citizen, but also against the environment that they are supposed to protect!

Perhaps no other story epitomizes the tyrannical predilection of the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority as that of Mr. Len  Greenaway's story recently written in Niagara this week Newspaper.
The NPCA cannot claim any description other than tyrannical when it accepts donated property and then cuts off common and traditional emergency water supply simply because it has acquired that power!
The NPCA has be getting away with tyranny based on framing their tyranny as conservation!

Other NPCA tyrannical activities include their attempt to destroy the last remaining 'Wetland Forest' in Niagara Falls, Ontario in favor of Rich Chinese Developers!

NPCA Tyrants take custody of popular hiking forest and immediately sell off healthy old growth trees leaving the tree tops cluttering the hiking trails!

NPCA Tyrants expands authority over private property and peoples homes!

The same NPCA tyrants that lord their authority over private citizens and their private property are the same Tyrants that build commercial banquette halls on our much vaunted UNESCO World Biosphere conservation park paid for by the same company that got away with creating Mount carcinogen!

Cheats and Liars

Did you know that the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority (NPCA) is the power behind the destruction of 'Provincially Significant Wetlands'?

Did you know that the Executive of the NPCA has been spinning every lie, threatening everyone and anyone with legal action if they dare fight to conserve 'Provincially Significant Wetlands'?

Did you know that the executive of the NPCA has been getting away with this perfidious conduct with the full approval of  Niagara's Sad-Sack Politicians including the deceitful politicians that sit on the NPCA Board of Directors?

Even the NPCA Minutes cannot be relied on for accuracy and honestly!

The Conduct of the NPCA executive  disqualifies them to hold their positions and must be removed! 

Any politician that feels they do not belong under the descriptions above has the right and ability to explain themselves in the comment section below...

Treachery Extraordinaire

It's just too bad that the citizens have been lead to believe that we simply vote for the candidate of our choice and expect that candidate to do their best in our interest.

We certainly have entered a time when most politicians have either entered government services for the wrong reasons or they have changed in their character once fully ensconced.

Like they say about Scotch Whiskey; Their is no bad Scotch its just that some are better than others! 

It appears that there are no bad political councilors (maybe) its just that some are better than others!

In our Niagara Regional Council their are those that are more effective in holding the line on tax increases by standing in the way of 'Tax & Waste'.

The best place to hold the line on 'Tax & Waste' is at the committee level. But if you are a councilor that is noted as being successful as a 'Tax & Waste' fighter you will be ostracized by the 'Tax & Waste' crowd! 

Then along come the December 8, 2016 Niagara Regional Council Meeting

Unbelievably the Petrowski Trolls were at it again!

If you have not been following the saga of the Petrowski trolls we are pleased to enlighten you with links to past attacks by the bully trolls

The Council meeting, Dec. 8, 2016 started out with a chilling alarm so devastating that it seemed that we needed an 'integrity Commissioner' immediately if not sooner. What followed was two and a quarter hours of agonizing over something so sinister that it couldn't even be mentioned! 

Their was a hint regarding the situation being addressed by that perennial Petrowski basher, former political loser to Petrowski Jeff Burch. 

Turns out that Petrowski's political enemies are trolling Petrowski's tweets hoping to pick off anything they can use in their efforts to stifle Petrowski's efforts on behalf of his constituents.

And just what did they find in trolling Petrowski's Tweets?

They found that he is a Trump fan! They found that a link turned up a Jew convert to Christianity  called Brother Nathanael.

So what's the charge? Is it that whiskery ole' Nate points out that a small group of Chicago Jews did something? 

Is that an attack on all Jews? Does that make it anti-semitic? Does that make YouTube anti-semitic?  Does that make Google anti-semitic? 

OH NO! That charge is reserved for 'Tax & Waste' Fighter Petrowski! 

Before someone woke up to what was going on during the Dec. 8, 2016 Regional Council meeting there were councilors well on their way to censoring Petrowski; removing him from committees and if possible denying him his pay!

So far they have accused him of poking a woman's chest so hard that her ID badge popped off, which proved to be an bald-faced lie

They attacked him for not approving abortion. 

They besmirched him for not accepting same-sex marriage. 

They belittled him for raising concerns regarding inadequate vetting of refugees.

They charged him with hate speech predicated on Biblical passages. 


This time they have gone too far. This time they would drive a wedge between Christians and Jews just to 'Get Petrowski' and that is unforgivable. 

While we are sitting at the bottom of nearly every economic measurement; While we have $Ten of millions unaccounted for or stolen under police investigation; Where our fastest growing industry is poverty and we have to spend the taxpayer's last dime to buy new industry, we can spend shameful hours and weeks bogged down in trash!

This is the same type of frivolous and vexatious bovine waste that went on with the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) complaints until a financial charge was implemented.

Question:
Seeing that their is 50 or so people on payroll sitting in council chamber raises the question as to the hourly cost to waste the Regional Governments time with frivolous and vexatious  bovine waste repeatedly aimed at one 'Tax & Waste' fighter like Petrowski and where does the citizen get to put in a complaint? 

Suggestion:
Charge the same fee that the OMB charges, refundable if complaint valid but charge for the Integrity Commissioner's cost if complaint is ruled frivolous, vexatious or invalid! 




Letter to Standard Editor
Columnist is a bully
Columnist Grant LaFleche has screamed and blithered about regional Coun. Andy Petrowski and his tweets and other actions for years. 
Granted, Andy’s tweets most likely did him no favours. Grant, you got what you wanted in an integrity commissioner (at Niagara Region) but you didn’t get what you wanted out of them, a repeal of Petrowski. So you attack the person you so hoped would play ball with you. 
I’ve known Andy since elementary school and know he has had several Jewish friends. Although I have not talked to him about this latest tweet in question, I am guessing it was about Trump, not an anti-Semitic statement. Did you ever consider that? I doubt it. 
You are a bully. So take your ball. Go home. And reflect as to the bully you are. We’re tired of hearing you.

Synopsis of NPCA Tyranny (part one)

A Story of Empire Building
Synopsis of NPCA Tyranny

Following in the footsteps of a heroic citizen named Ed Smith, predicated on his concern for our environment and witnessing the behavior of the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority (NPCA), News Alert Niagara has decided to publicly present our own Synopsis of NPCA. 



In the homey Mahtay Cafe downtown St. Catharines surrounded by the press and concerned citizens stood Mr. Ed Smith. 
Smith's Press conference  presentation was called in response to the NPCA's action of having several legal firms sending threatening legal letters in all directions including to dissenting fellow councilors. 

It's totally baffling as to the lengths the NPCA Officials will go in order to prevent anyone from examining and investigating their conduct. They are even sending legal correspondence to Municipal councils in an attempt to stifle comment from Mr. Smith! 

While communities outside the the direct influence of the gut wrenching corruption of our Niagara Regional Government are totally supportive of a complete forensic audit of the NPCA, the sewer gang of Niagara City Council refuse to even hear from its citizens. 

Speculation has it that NPCA Board Member the fallacious N.F. Mayor Diodoti and fellow NPCA Board Member Wainfleet's Mayor April Jeffs are setting us up for something less than a proper forensic audit.

TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!

The only 'squirrelli' council still protecting the NPCA is the Regional Council with its overload of conflicted NPCA board members.

For the sake of our community please view our Regional Government at work by Clicking HERE!

The NPCA has been using and abusing our discreditable court system against our citizens for so long they just naturally fall back on this shabby conduct and they do so with the approval of our Niagara Regional Government!

As Mr. Ed Smith spoke, visions of NPCA conduct flashed across the mind's screen with images of the NPCA's perversion of our justice system, stacking the courtroom deck against innocent citizens, laying waste to our so-called Freedom of Information Laws.

Its hard to comprehend how one Niagara Citizen could figure out the situation while the whole political spectrum of the Niagara Regional Government feigned ignorance.

These NPCA human rights abusers have convinced themselves  that they have the right to barge into MPP Cindy Forster's office and verbally abuse her to the point that the new CAO Peter Graham, Chair Bruce Timms and Loudest Cling-on Nunziatta had to be ordered out!

THE OVERRIDING QUESTION REMAINS: WHERE THE HELL IS THE PROVINCE

Smith wasn't standing alone. He stood apart! Smith had the backing of several citizen's groups and hundreds of individuals who had the extreme misfortune of crossing paths with this disgusting organization. 

The recently replaced CAO Carmen D'Angelo had no power to physically attack Smith or to have him ejected from this public meeting. Carmen D'Angelo is the man that ordered his people not to deliver presentations to his volunteer citizens committees when and while media was present.
But don't worry folks this highly prized individual is now our New CAO for the Niagara Regional Government! 
News Alert Niagara made it its mission to keep each and every Regional Councilor fully informed as to what was happening to the Niagara Citizens at the hands of the NPCA!



Even the Volunteer Citizen Liaison Advisory Committee known as CLAC revolted against the NPCA board and its Chair Bruce Timms.

Timms tried to push Mayor April Jeffs idea of having the NPCA doing an special audit on itself. The Clac members were having none of it.

CLAC members complaineed of the number of redundant agencies attacking property owners.

They told Timms to his face to drop all legal assault on Ed Smith primarily because Timms didn’t even know his own rules and regulations. Another member suggested the NPCA could do a better job in communicating with the public. Another board member said he was going to produce a public letter predicated on the CLAC committee’s loss of confidence in the NPCA Board of Directors.

All in all it was not a good evening for Bruce Timms.


Regional Councilor and NPCA Chairman of the Board Bruce Timms calls every criticism of his disgusting outfit defamatory.

Mr. Bruce Timms and his ilk should understand that the unbelievable stories below are not defamatory; they are demeaning! 

Bruce Timms and company claims to be operating their two-faced programs under orders of the Provincial Government.

Anyone, including our politicians, involved in allowing the NPCA to operate in a way that runs counter to human decency and certainly counter to Canadian Culture could be in for a huge shock!
