'News Alert Niagara' Spent decades sounding the alarm regarding the Niagara Regional Regime's propensity to skirt the rule of law for the regime's own purpose.
http://www.niagarawinnerscircle.com/Inventing-Darkness.html
The Regional Regime works feverishly developing a machiavellian strategy to switch from the Consumer Price Index to the so-called 'Municipal Price Index' to hopefully allow, without backlash, the regional regime the ability to gouge the hapless Citizen with an inflationary pay increases (3.3%) that their Constituents can only dream about!

Since the private property of homeowners are the chief source of revenue for municipalities they are coming up with new and creative ways to gouge their taxpaying citizens. .
The City of St. Catharines is again promoting their decade long scheme to gouge taxpayers with permit fees and fines regarding the trees on private property.

Niagara-on-the-Lake's new fees and fines revenue scheme is to order the enclosing of hot tubs, no doubt to be followed by locks on toilet seats and childproof gates on kitchen doors.

Good ole Fort Erie wants permit fees (ranging up to $1500) and fines to allow home owners the right to share their home with others. Sad, considering available living space is so scarce!
What can you expect from an outfit that spends time and money trying to legally dispossess a citizen of his property, which many believe is just a disgusting scheme to allow Fort Erie to gain access to their (17 year) landlocked sub-division?.
Then we have the city of Port Colborne who is contemplating allowing back-filling a stone quarry with supposedly "CLEAN" fill to below the water table. Ironically Port Colborne has been suffering with what was supposedly safe contaminates for over 20 years and that contamination horror still continues. Astonishing that Port Colborne never heard of Welland's little money maker Mount Carcinogen leaching its poison into Niagara's drinking water!

The Citizens elected authorities to govern - not to run over them!

How do we get a better Niagara if we ignore corruption bordering near malfeasance and how can our vote matter if we must vote in ignorance?

ReplyDeleteAny organization that understands why it is in business will make every effort to ensure it’s clients’ needs come first—otherwise, there’s no reason to be in business. Part of that organizational necessity is communicating within its various departments to ensure the client receives the highest possible value for the money it spends on the organization’s goods or services. This holds true for governments as well—however it seems Niagara-on-the-Lake has lost it’s focus. It has forgotten why it’s in business.
Niagara-on-the-Lake once again, is ramming more by-laws through its machinery without ensuring what they are doing meets the measure of Provincial Legislation. Has the municipal clerk or CAO consulted their own building officials on whether they new pool/hot enclosure by-law is even legal under Ontario’s Building Code?
Firstly; I believe bedroom windows are meant to be readily openable from the inside for the purpose of escaping from fire—except for those windows more than one (1) story above the ground—then the screen must be securely fixed.
And secondly; if a door within a house wall (which forms part of the of the pool area) is expected to be self latching—how does a person go back into their home? Does such hardware for exterior passage doors even exist? Or does a friend of a council member have an interest in a hardware store?
If the house wall/window by-law is as critical as the CAO argues, why not door knobs 5 feet off the ground to prevent toddlers from falling down the basement stairs? Or wall sockets 5 feet high to prevent little fingers from inserting inappropriate objects?
Municipalities themselves rarely comply with provincial legislation to ensure access to facilities ie: handicapped washrooms, wheel chair ramps to government buildings, brail elevator signage, allow video-tapping/pod cast of council meetings to accommodate the less ambulatory and yet for some odd reason, they feel it their duty to force the general public to deal with soviet absurdities.
If Niagara-on-the-Lake wants to remain logically consistent, does this mean the municipality will now be putting gates, fencing and locks around all the open waters within their region ie: Lake Ontario, Niagara River, Adam Beck Hydro Dam reservoir? How about the water hazards on the Queenston Golf course?
Has anyone asked Niagara-on-the-Lake city manager if complaints from local residents forced the change and if so—where’s the evidence. Or is this another example of a Council with too much time on their hands and feel they must pass a steady stream of new laws to justify their existence?
The question needs to be asked of every proposal coming from every municipal council. “What is the purpose of the By-law?” And: “Does it comply with senior legislation?”
Town Council in Lambton Shores passed a by-law a couple of years ago saying a homeowners cannot use a machine that makes an unusual noise (then gives examples ie: lawnmower, leaf-blower) after 8:00 PM. When asked about snow-blowers, the response was: “Well-that’s different”. (We have to wonder what goes through people’s minds to come up with stuff like this.)
Every law in a Constitutional Democracy should be remedial. In other words, every new law should be written towards trying to fix a chronic problem. Other than that—by-laws and new legislation are nothing but ideology where someone is trying to impose their world view on the rest of the population. Every time some city clerk/councillor/mayor tries to introduce a new by-law, everyone should ask: “ What’s the point? ” And once proven by evidence that the by-law addresses a legitimate need—“Does it comply with superior laws that may make it of no force and effect?”
Cradle-to-grave nanny socialism.
