They were being transported from Montreal to St Catharines, Ontario location. The cattle have been seized, as the investigation is continuing by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

East-Wawanosh Heroes Stand Their Ground Against Corrupt & Criminal Council – Heffer Family Threats & Media Blackout #WinghamWakening

(North Huron, Ontario) The North Huron council meeting for public input on October 10 was such a train wreck for the council that traditional media is apparently succumbing to pressure from the Heffer family to remain silent in light of massive lawsuits.

Among the local heroes who took to the podium was one of the Corporation of North Huron’s most suffering victims. Despite having recently suffered a trip and fall on North Huron’s neglected sidewalks that resulted in a broken foot, she confronted the council, foot cast and all, and informed the public of what has been done to her, shocking and horrifying the crowd.

North Huron has allegedly contaminated her drinking water supply, rendering her property nearly worthless due to her inability to build or rebuild as a result of North Huron’s actions and inactions. To add insult to injury, they increased her taxes instead of eliminating them.  Apparently, you have to pay extra for North Huron to destroy your property.

It’s a shame that by-law enforcement hasn’t enforced their own bylaws on their own property over the last 30 years, as that could have greatly mitigated the devastation inflicted by North Huron.
