Here we go again!

The Corrupt Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority promoted a special event for Friday September 29, 2017 when they actually planned the event for Wednesday September 27, 2017 in another attempt to avoid what the NPCA arrogantly calls concerned Citizens a 'Special interest group' and "Fringe group of complaining people"!

They were so shocked that the Citizenry discovered the NPCA ruse that they sent out an NPCA person to berate the Citizens for protesting the NPCA conduct.

Worse they even tried to have the police remove the protesters! 


NPCA's contempt for Niagara Citizens is beyond the pale!

A Study in Corruption



Report on the Niagara Peninsula Corruption Authority

Following Mr. Ed Smith’s pointed presentation at the (45:00 Minute Mark) to the NPCA Board of Directors meeting September 20, 2017 the board members sat in sullen silence without so much as asking a single question.


As an example Smith picked his ‘smallest case’ concerning the overcharg of ($800.00) for a so-called ‘Freedom of Information’ (FOI) request.


Expanding on Mr. Smith’s example we offer some of the outrageous behavior foisted on innocent Niagara Citizens at the hands of the Niagara Peninsula Corruption Authority all with the approval of the NPCA Board of Directors.


'News Alert Niagara' points out the true character of the Niagara Peninsula Corruption Authority! (NPCA)


Starting with some of the Niagara Land Owner Association (NLA) many disturbing stories Synopsis of NPCA Tyranny’.


The above members of the NPCA Board of Directors has authorized some of the most unbelievable attacks of private property and home owners including ‘A Travesty of Justice’, ‘Smoking Gun’ and many more.


Most egregious is the NPCA’s corrupt practice of charging private property owners and even ‘judge shopping’ over so-called environmental transgressions, while ignoring the same transgressions perpetrated bydevelopers and friends. Thundering waters being the most significant example!


The same NPCA Board Members allowed their staff to promote their ‘Bovine Waste’ of ‘Bio-diversity off-setting’ scheme in a specious effort to destroy The ‘Thundering Waters’ Provincially Significant Wetlands slough forest in favor of development.



Under the direction of the NPCA board of DIRECTORS we have ‘wetland designation’ placed on valuable properties for insiders to pick up cheap!

Under the direction of the NPCA board of DIRECTORS the NPCA claims authority over all home owners yet has no home owner representation on the Citizen Liaison Advisory  committee! 


Under the direction of the NPCA board of DIRECTORS we have lost an astonishing amount of our natural environment!


Under the direction of the NPCA board of DIRECTORS the NPCA has extortionists on payroll!



Under the direction of the NPCA board of DIRECTORS, NPCA employees trespass without notice!

 Under the direction of the NPCA board of DIRECTORS staff demands a $1400/$1800 work permit to have expensive professional soil testing (geotechnical assessment) at a further cost of many $thousands only to have the professional soil test refused!


Under the direction of the NPCA board of DIRECTORS the required Citizens Liaison Advisory Committee (CLAC) is avoided like the plague because the CLAC Members object to some of the boards directives and because the CLAC members refuse to sign a ‘code of secrecy’ clause as directed by Bruce Timms.


Under the direction of the NPCA board of DIRECTORS the NPCA started holding their monthly board meetings in locations other than their own venue in an attempt to avoid public scrutiny. They even gave false directions to venues in remote locations such as the Port Colborne & District Conservation Gun Club!



Under the direction of the NPCA board of DIRECTORS the NPCA CAO, physically assaulted a photo journalist and used police to enforce trespass for taking a picture at their public board meeting!



Under the direction of the NPCA board of DIRECTORS the NPCA 2018 budget slashes 29% of workforce watershed and corporate services salaries by $863,889.00.



Under the direction of the NPCA board of DIRECTORS there is a $half-million dollar increase in salaries proposed for the CAO/Administration department!



Under the direction of the NPCA board of DIRECTORS the NPCA conduct is the reason they are now battling a worker protective union!



Under the direction of the NPCA board of DIRECTORS the NPCA changed their regular 6:30 pm meeting times to 9:30 am to further eliminate Working Citizens from scrutinizing their activities!



Under the direction of the NPCA board of DIRECTORS the NPCA reduces the Speaker Volume for the public gallery necessitating continued calls to ‘turn up the gallery speakers’!
 

Under the direction of the NPCA board of DIRECTORS we witnessed a near meltdown at the sight of an audio recorder!


Under the direction of the NPCA board of DIRECTORS we have captured a recorded NPCA admission of Land Confiscation without Compensation!

Under the direction of the NPCA board of DIRECTORS a call from citizens and several MPPs for a forensic audit have been stalled for years!


Under the direction of the NPCA board of DIRECTORS we citizens find ourselves under the authority of people who, like their ilk in Pelham, believe they are omnipotent! Now they face the wrath of Citizens and Ontario Members of Parliament Bradley and Forster who are fed up with NPCA Corruption!

Under the direction of the NPCA board of DIRECTORS the NPCA arrogantly called concerned Citizens a 'Special interest group' and "Fringe group of complaining people!

Under the direction of the NPCA board of DIRECTORS the NPCA totally destroyed Mark Barnfield over trumped-up charges even though Barnfield already had permits for non-permanent paint ball facilities, while the cunning NPCA board built a commercial banquet hall in competition with private enterprise. 

Worse they built this competitive commercial banquet hall on a UNESCO World Biosphere Park-Balls Falls!

Under the direction of the NPCA board of DIRECTORS the NPCA want us to believe that their sins of the past are in their past and that they have changed! However they still have innocent Citizens trapped in our judiciary and they have yet to make amends for past conduct.

Under the direction of the NPCA board of DIRECTORS 'News Alert Niagara' has been accused of having a number of untrue statements in this article 'A Study in Corruption'!

Under the direction of the NPCA board of DIRECTORS the NPCA refuses to address the alleged 'untrue statements' even when asked several times to do so!

Under the direction of the NPCA the board of DIRECTORS can possibly be excused for their silence given that their oath and their non-disclosure contact to this dodgy secret society is so onerous as can be witnessed at the 5:00 Minute Mark of their swearing in ceremony. Please note the absence of mention regarding the environment or to the citizen that pays their freight. 

Under the direction of the alleged 'Special interest group' and "Fringe group of complaining people", the NPCA board of DIRECTORS are all welcome to leave along with the Politicos they rode in on!
Never in the history of Canada have so many been deceived by so few!

Contempt of Citizens


The revelations spelled out at the Niagara Region Audit Committee are astonishing! 


We are now discovering that our Regional Councilors have been contentedly rubber stamping what many consider to be unacceptable levels of municipal debt. 

Worse is the contemptible attitude of big spender municipalities giving the finger to concerned Citizens! 
It’s totally beyond the pale for the municipal Authorities of the Town of Pelham to hide behind a 330 page obfuscation to justify their contemptible claim that they are a power onto themselves and that they will no longer answer or cooperate. 


Let’s hope that the voter has some say over the situation.


Add to the problem of debt load is the issue of Pelham’s unexplained and outrageous $700,000 mark-up land deal.


Notwithstanding Councilor Tim Rigby’s effort to terminate Councilor Bart Maves’ Rare and excellent clarification of Citizen Rainer Hummel’s valiant whistleblower effort (Starting at the 1:05 minute mark) on a suspicious land deal foisted on the Taxpayers of Pelham and potentially all of Niagara. 


Contempt of the Citizen manifests itself in secrecy, dishonesty and cover-up! 

However those sitting in sullen silence have nothing to brag about!

Hidden in secrecy


Just like ‘minimum wage’ has become ‘maximum wage’; ‘freedom of information’ (FOI) has replaced information freely given from an ethical government. 


Worse FOI has become the only way Citizens have to acquire information from unethical authorities that are hell bent on hiding their activities from the very citizens they arrogantly claim they serve!


The tragedy is the fact that took Mr. Ed Smith’s FOI efforts to dig out the unethical abuse of the taxpayer’s hard earned $Dollars.


Inexplicably we have Regional Councilors claiming that this unethical abuse of taxpaying Citizens has been going on even though there are rules being blatantly broken. 


Then why do they sit in abject silence?


What kind of Regional Councilors would knowingly keep unethical behavior hidden from the public?


Watch Mr. Ed Smith’s presentation at the 130 minute mark https://www.youtube.com/embed/PzVHrjiii-k?rel=0&autoplay=1


Obviously it’s not an integrity commissioner we need but an ethics commissioner.
