The Great Carmen (Cover-up)

No not Bizet’s famous opera with its powerful Toreador song.

Hell no! This is the Infamous Carmen of Niagara Peninsula Corruption Authority fame with his version of the Tarantella corrupting as much as possible and leaving devastation in his wake.

My first run-in with the now infamous ‘Carmen’ was when he physically assaulted me at a Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority (NPCA) meeting. While attempting to get an overall shot of the guest speaker Carmen grabbed my focusing hand and camera shoving it against my face painfully dislodging my glasses.

Not finished with me yet he then had the NRP called to trespass me from a publicly funded property for the transgression of photographing at a public meeting as part of a lawful and peaceful media effort to garner information for public dissemination.

Worse, he corrupted an NRP officer by having the officer partake in a Criminal Code violation #423.1. manhandling and ticketing a media reporter under threat of handcuffs and jail.

Carmen even went so far as to state to acquaintances that he was going to sue me! This from a corrupt character who never once summoned up enough courage to reply to even one of the 363 articles which always allow for commentary!

Jump ahead to the December 7, 2017 Regional Council meeting to witness the ‘Fiddle Farting’ around regarding the move to in-camera during the middle of the meeting. At the 119-minute mark you will notice that my camera sits on top of my hat which is atop of my folded scarfe. This protects the camera from landing on a hard surface and also stifles the sound of a heavy camera landing on a desktop.

I believe it is precisely this sound of the camera landing on the desktop that the Region wants to hide. They want to hide the evidence which would prove the criminal code violation of Criminal Mischief #430 (1).

The NRP has informed me the Ombudsman was only given a redacted version of the recording preventing him the opportunity to hear the ‘clunk’ of the camera or the change of sound muffled by the placing and removing of the hat.

The Regional Regime tells me I can retrieve my recorder but only if the incriminating evidence them is redacted.

Interesting how quickly our miscreant authorities want to cry about the injury to their reputation and their defamation but think nothing about the reputation and defamation they cause others.

I had to field months of questions about the ‘recorder under the hat affair’, I was the butte of jokes and even suffered newspaper cartoons.

So much for openness, honesty and transparency of our Niagara Regional Regime! The only thing transparent about this new regime is how they still prevent Citizens from publicly presenting to council that which they don’t want exposed simply by keeping it off the agenda.

When I applied to the NRPSB to ask why Criminal Code violations where not being investigated Chair Gale blocked my efforts on the excuse that the NRPSB cannot interfere with day to day NRP operations.

To all those who asked and those interested in knowing perhaps the Regional Regime’s conduct is just reward for exposing their escalating corruption.
