North Huron Passes Mega Mayor Act After Rejecting Doug Ford’s Pathetic “Strong Mayor Act” #TheNewSS

The Corporation known as North Huron passed the final piece of their “Mega Mayor” act which attempts to suspend all property rights of their customers, also known as taxpayers. North Huron has already surpassed the powers of Ford’s strong mayor act, swaps CAOs out when they side with customers, taken all the lands for themselves (Trailer park, Airport, etc.), trespass and take whatever they want from their victims, and tax us without limit.

Now you may have attended or watched the 05May meeting and noticed for the first time they “forgot” to read in the by-law title or contents, ensuring no one would have a clue what is going on. 

24:50 “Ok Bylaw 31-2025 may I have a mover? Councillor Van Hittersum. Seconder? Oh, sorry, Deputy Reeve. Thank you. All in favor, Carried.”

Now you might be wondering, what just happened? Why all the secrecy? Why did they lie in the minutes and say it was read in three times? What is so controversial they won’t even say it in chambers?

Contact your Representative on council and ask them see if they know, and ask them why did they vote without any discussion or debate? 

Current Mayor/Reeve Paul Heffer and Huron County have been re-branding by-law enforcement as Social Standards, as they themselves believe it is more accurate and that “SS” commands more respect/fear/obedience/profitability.
