A town can make any BAD or illegal decision it wants to, and be guaranteed NO ONE can challenge it. Every townsperson suffers.

At stake is a taxpayer's rights to control where his money goes. And it is already TOO LATE for every taxpayer to even question a decision of his Councillors.

The way the law reads, if a town passes a paper thing called a "Bylaw" with a decision or statement or plan... no one anywhere can ask for oversight from Ontario on ANYTHING in that Bylaw.

No one can ask the Ontario Ombudsman to look into the propriety of Mayor Dick giving his nephew the lucrative Roads Contract in perpetuity if he simply has it published with the word "BYLAW" in front of it. 

So, Mayor Dick passes "Bylaw 23-1234" saying "I hereby grant in perpetuity the contract for all new and replacement Road Works in the Town of Mayberry to my nephew Melvin Head."

From that point on, NO ONE can challenge it to the Ombudsman of Ontario.

The Ombudsman is the ONLY possible oversight of municipal acts in Ontario. You can try elsewhere, but, there is no place else one can challenge his town's actions. No one can help. Anywhere. Not even Federally.

Take BACK your town.

Sign this petition and ask Provincial and Federal authorities to revisit the decision that a Bylaw is some kind of magic potion making everything ILLEGAL legal again.

Closed door town Council sessions are bad enough, but, then they open the door to show their nefarious plans have already been published as a BYLAW, God's gift to nepotism.

Remove the protection from oversight from Bylaws passed by towns. Make them just as accessible to change as any other decision.

Sign now and give us all a chance to correct the illegal acts of our politicians and staff.

Sign now, take BACK the power of your taxes!

 

While you wait, ask YOUR town for a list of Bylaws created in the past few years, It will open your eyes to see how many decisions are simply REMOVED FROM YOUR SCRUTINY.

For more on how a town can so easily arrest and incarcerate a taxpayer to teach him to NOT advocate for a new dog park for his town, go read www.BobLeppsOpinions.com  You will notice the writing style has, since 3/29/2023, become rather cryptic... because the court now orders I cannot talk about my town I sued for $7,000,000   I am ordered to NOT type out or even INIFER the name of any defendant of employee of any defendant I sued.

In fact, I cannot even write out HERE the name of my town from 1985 to 2022 when they forced me to sell. I cannot write the name of the Region that town is in because I sued the THEM as well. I cannot name the police force or its Board of Directors... you guessed it, sued them as well.

Most of us Canadians are reserved, we sit back and let politics flow by us. And until 2017 on July 14 I had the same opinion. But on that day I was arrested by my town, and they admitted it at my trial. On fact he was quite PROUD of the fact.

I would name and tell you all about what my town did to loudmouths like me back in 2010-2012, but, I would be jailed for 3 months the court assures me. Suffice to say it was the first town in CANADA the courts caught abusing its own taxpayers through the application of a $6,000,000 slander suit against a few bloggers in town. The bloggers won, the town got SLAPPD with costs and fines. The mayor apologized in Council and newspapers and promised to NEVER abuse a taxpayer like that again.

It took just 5 years and the same man kicked off 7 criminal arrests of ME. 24 counts, starting in 2017 for emailing staff asking their last name,  to 2020 when the LAWYERS for the Defendant in my suit, my town, my region, my cops and one person PERSONALLY arrested me. 

You will have difficulty believing that police can come get you 7 times or more and fail COMPLETELY on 6 of them and partially on the 7th. To get a conviction, police coerced a witness to deny that a contract ever existed for volunteer park work in town. Cops removed the contract which stated I was REQUIRED to email park people about any issues needing resolution in said park. I did that, I cc:d a complaint letter to my Councillors and Mayor and Parks Director, and my town told the court the email was actually just HARASSMENT of the park people.

Please, the court has asked me if I am the ONLY one who wanted a new dog park. I got $72,000 spent on a brand new park and the Town has now convinced the court I was the ONLY complaint.

How possible is it that just ONE complaint from me was worthy of $72,000.

There were a lot of you who knew the dog park was disgusting. It is sited on the floodplain owned and controlled by the Lake Simcoe Conservation Authority. My town just stile the land and TWICE fenced it illegally without obtains mandatory building permits. I did a Freedom of Information request and the authority confirmed it had NEVER issued a permit to build anything in the floodplain.

The town built MORE than a dog park on stolen floodplain lands, It built ball diamonds with thousands of square meters of banned chainlink fencing. Banned because when a flood occurs, the fish die in chainlink fish nets... they cannot gat back to the river.

Thanks for reading this far. I hope you can sign and give voice about a gross inequity in Ontario municipal politics.

Take back YOUR town!
