Corruption of the Flat Earth Society

Congratulations must go to Niagara's Flat Earth Society (FES) for their valiant and successful effort in making Niagara better by turfing the NPCA Chair predicated on the Chair not believing that the Earth is Flat (Man-made climate change).
.
However, the Flat Earth Society has no problem in boosting their champion of 'Schitz Creek' fame to head up the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority's Board of Directors.

.

That's Right! In this country we boost a person to Conservation Board Chair who is capable in 'not divulging' the fact that they participated in an organization that allowed raw sewage to silently inundate the beautiful Chedoke Creek to the tune of a foot-deep sludge of human excrement over a period of years.  https://www.chch.com/premier-doug-ford-criticizes-hamilton-council-over-sewage-spill-secret/

Worse, Flat Earth Society accepts promoting a 'cover-up artist' in the form of a political Creek polluter to head up a Conservation Authority Board of Directors as preferable to an Chair who refuses to accept their particular philosophy.So much for the 'defend to the death quote'! https://npca.ca/our-voice/post/annual-general-meeting

Its understandable that the new Chair of the NPCA Board of Directors does not want to dwell on her past even though those concerned with conservation fully understand that this new Chair of the 'Conservation Board' keeping silent  regarding raw sewage dumping into our waterways fits perfectly with the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority's disgusting history.

Niagara Regime's partner the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority bringing more disrepute in the form of promoting a Board Chair (Only Choice) who covered up the dumping of Raw Sewage into our waterways.

PS Lets hope the Niagara Regimes Councilors get to see this Article

Editorial didn't support democracy

Re: Editorial: Informed decisions lay at the heart of democracy, Jan. 17

What sanctimonious hypocrisy.

This newspaper has continued to praise this new Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority board for the past year and more, including the period David Bylsma has been chair, and promoted it as a new beginning for NPCA.

This without a shred of evidence this new board is any more transparent than those before or any evidence they are safeguarding the millions of tax dollars they continue to spend any better than previous administrations.

The survey your newspaper conducted was a sham and did not show any credible evidence any majority of board members believed Bylsma should be summarily rejected because of his personal views. You didn't even pretend to show it did.

What is not democratic is to allow the opinions of two local activists, who do not represent the views of all Niagara residents, dictate that a democratically appointed board chair should be rejected because he refused to renounce his personal beliefs and instead, accept theirs.

As one of the most alleged, influential sources of independent news in Niagara, your editorial does not support democracy. The views of a majority are not necessarily the right views, but as a news source you do not have any right to claim 'democracy' as a rationale to support activists even if you believe in their causes.

Homelessness Embarrasses Municipality

Embarrassed because Homelessness is a municipal responsibility

We know the City was embarrassed because otherwise they would have been accommodating before firing up roadblocks to a Niagara 'Singer/Songwriter' who offered to spend a night in Montebello Park to bring attention to the plight of homeless Citizens.

Notice to Readers Dateline Feb 3, 2020

Notice to Readers (other than silent regional):

As a Courtesy ‘News Alert Niagara’ provides the Niagara Regional Councilors a copy of our articles.

Recently we have noticed something new.

Emails sent to Niagara Regional Councilors with ‘Request Delivery Receipt’ and ‘Request a Read Receipt’ received no response indicating interference of mail. 
The Greatest test of our veracity is the silence of the Niagara Regime. Not a single comment, counter opinion or correction of any kind of over 430 articles that the Niagara Regime wants blocked.

The issue is Trust, Integrity, Civility, Transparency and Openness.

Originally sent to Niagara Regional Councilorson Monday January 20, 2020 

.

But, how does Trust, Integrity, Civility, Transparency and Openness fit in to such a grand proclamation when that same leader of the Niagara Regional Regime evidently hatches a new scheme to interfere with email correspondence flowing to our Regime's Councilors?
.
Surely, our Regime's Councilors are the only ones with the right to interfere, block or 'close-without-reading' when it comes to electronic mail!
.

Question: When did it become legal for a government to control its members mail?

.
Censoring the mail of our Niagara Regional Councilors is just a recurring attempt to shield the Niagara Regional Regime against the ravages of 'Openness' as in their 2010 effort to deny citizen participation (Note Cause 13.3) in the Citizen's own 'Public Forum' . http://www.niagarawinnerscircle.com/Inventing-Darkness.html
.

Back in Autumn of 2018 'News Alert Niagara' stood alone in raising the alarm regarding the boosting of a Kathleen Wynne Liberal Operative to the Chair of the Niagara Regional Government. 
.
The Kathleen Wynne Liberal Operative promised that his No.1 priority would be Trust, Integrity, Civility, Transparency and Openness.
.
So what is Chair Bradley's promise worth? 
.

Will he clean up the Machiavellian barriers preventing Niagara Constituents from bringing their concerns before the Regime's Councilors by way of demanding presentations to Council be based solely on agenda issues days before the agenda is even posted? 
.
Will he stop the censoring of the Regime's emails?
.
Or will he continue in his Kathleen Wynne Liberal Operative style devoid of integrity.

.

If Niagara Regional Councilors are reading this Article for the first time it would be appropriate for them to inquire of their Staff!

Tax to Prosperity - THE SEQUEL

.

Sir Winston Churchill once said that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.

.

Blindly heaving on the handle of a bucket flies in the face of overwhelming and historic evidence as written in 'The Wealth of Nations' by Adam Smith or as chronicled in 'Decline of the West' by Oswald Spengler and by the failure of every society that has tried to tax itself into prosperity

.
Who will be the first to say that Churchill was talking about 'National Debt' not 'Municipal Debt'.
.
It won't be the 'Totally Free' The Niagara Independent online news!

The first paragraph of the 'Niagara Independent's most enlightening article' says it all: 'Residents in Niagara will see a sharp increase in the amount of taxes they will be paying next year as the Regional government passed its 2020 budget last Thursday night. The increases include a 5.92 per cent overall property tax increase, a 5.15 per cent hike on the water and waste water tax bill as well as a 9.9 per cent increase for waste management services despite a reduction in waste management services. It’s the largest tax increase in at least a decade.' 

Add City Tax increase - example St. Catharines 3.92 %

Not to mention Provincial and Federal Tax increases, Fines, Fees and Property Theft.

.

In true Kathleen Wynne double speak Chair Bradley said  "Regional Council was faced with some challenging decisions on the 2020 budget, however we continued to invest in Niagara’s future through support for high quality service delivery." 
.
Chair Bradley is correct in that 'high quality' means the most politicians anywhere in Canada; the greatest number of the greatest new cop shops; the greatest new anything other than the greatest husbanding of the public purse!
.

Government is the greatest cause of poverty and homelessness and the Niagara Regime is no exception! The government's cost to the taxpayers at multiples of inflation leads nowhere but to the eventual devastation of society! 

Only Councilors Redekop, Bylsma, Heit, and Insanna voted not to accept the brazen NEW tax increases!
.
It is very unfortunate that the rest of our Regime's Councilors acquiesce in the direction of so many historic and failed societies not least of which was the recent devastation of Jim Bradley's Ontario Liberal Regime.
.
Sadly this brazen scheme to cover their pay increases was deliberately spawned mid-term in an effort to ward off public backlash at election time!
.

Always an excuse - Always someone else's fault!

It's NOT the Economy, Stupid! It's CORRUPTION!

Sir Winston Churchill said. 'You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life'.
.

Your presence on social media is a positive indication that you do. 
.
But, just what is it you think you stand for?
.
What you are struggling against is some perceived or real abuse by some level of your government.

.
However, the derivation of the abuse, which is the abuse you are experiencing, is rooted in corruption. Without corruption you would have nothing to struggle against!
.
While you are squandering a fortune fighting the expensive fight in our all to often conflicted court system which is a court system loath to bite the hand that feeds them, please consider exposing corruption every where you find it. Corruption that hurts one, hurts everyone, everywhere! 

.

Spread the word - it's good for you!

.
It's Not the Economy, Stupid, It's CORRUPTION and it is CORRUPTION which is slowly eating away at our society!
.
.Churchill also said; 'if you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves'.

.
P.S. One of the most successful groups fighting CORRUPTION has been the Niagara Landowners Association through their ongoing political efforts and by joining other unsatisfied organizations to politically devastate the corrupt and unaccountable Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority, several disgusting and corrupt municipalities, and 27 out of 31 political miscreants of the corrupt Niagara Regional Government simply by spreading the word in order to turf feckless political miscreants.

UPDATE - Murder Most Foul

According to eye witnesses New Year's eve ushered in the new decade of 2020 with the sound of gunfire in West St. Catharines.

.

.
The witnesses report that at around 4:30 pm Tuesday, December 31, 2019 they pulled over because of emergency flashing police car which stopped almost abreast of them. A male and a female police officer jumped out of their cruiser and almost immediately the male officer fired one shot into an unarmed Citizen in his own driveway. The female officer fired two shots into the victim who immediately fell on his face. 

Most disconcerting is the witnesses claiming that the male officer proceeded to fire a shot into the victim's back while the victim was motionless on the ground. The witness claims the victim's clothing moved when the shot entered the victim's back.

https://www.facebook.com/duke.willis.10/videos/10162980312470472
.

The witnesses said the victim was unarmed because they could see his hands and that his hands were empty.

Why Would the Media paint witnesses as participants in Mr. Penner's demise?

https://www.stcatharinesstandard.ca/news-story/9794913-st-catharines-man-holding-bread-knife-dies-from-injuries-after-being-shot-by-police/

.It was chilling to hear the witness say, 'I witnessed a murder today and I want my story to get out!'

Second Video of murder scene 

 https://www.facebook.com/577330471/videos/10162992514530472/

.

This firearm tragedy involving 56 year old Fred Penner is no less tragic for the police officers now facing consequence for their split second decision. 

.

Question: Why is the media claiming that the dead resident, Mr. Penner completely covered by a yellow tarp is in the hospital with life threatening injuries?.

.

To be Continued...

PS: The Niagara Police Service Board tried desperately, to no avail, to convince the Niagara Regional Police to provide their front-line officers with body cameras.
