(North Huron, Ontario) At the October 21, 2024, North Huron council meeting, a councilor finally publicly admitted that they cannot enforce their bylaws on private property. This shocking admission of guilt exposes them to potential litigation as their victims become aware of their rights and realize that the bylaw department never had authority over private land.
This fascist overreach by town halls across Ontario has cost their victims millions of dollars defending themselves against the unlawful actions of bylaw enforcement.
The crumbling and costly replacement of neglected infrastructure is due to bylaw enforcement across Ontario refusing to fulfill their responsibilities and ensure that infrastructure is maintained. Some highly corrupt municipalities do not even have job descriptions for their enforcement officers, as they have hired their friends to bully and target victims.
(North Huron, Ontario) At the 10-10 meeting in Blyth, North Huron Reeve Paul Heffer confessed he has been directing/allowing town staff to egregiously break the law and endanger our community’s children.
The Reeve tried to deflect the first question to no avail, and was pressured into answering whether on not he would continue his illegal activity of blocking off sidewalks by dumping snow directly on them, which endangers all pedestrians.
Recently in Ontario there has been an 82% increase in fatal pedestrian collisions, even one involving an OPP cruiser, showing that even under ideal circumstances and conditions, collisions happen and lives can be lost.
Thankfully your corporation has a by-law to help protect pedestrians on your corporation’s land, by making it illegal for anyone to dump snow on your sidewalks, which then forces pedestrians to walk in traffic during the winter months.
Section 3.18 of your clean yards by-law clearly forbids this activity, yet by-law enforcement is refusing to do their job and ensure your by-laws are enforced on your land, claiming that you are preventing them from enforcing your by-laws on your own property.
Are you going to stop your illegal activity which endangers pedestrians?
(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.
(North Huron, Ontario) At the 10-10 meeting in Blyth council was confronted by an unprecedented level of animosity from the crowd. Confessed coward Paul Heffer triggered the tsunami of hate when he attempted to evade the very first question of the evening, and the crowd instantly turned on him and council. This set the tone, and it got worse from there.
The heroes in Blyth made it clear, the time for BS in North Huron is over. The crowd literally and openly told the council that they were full of bullshit and they have enough money and will to hold them to account by whatever legal means necessary.
When it was disclosed that council wants to cash in on dead babies by taxing the grieving families an extra $1000 for the inconvenience to town staff/agents, since the deceased wasn’t considerate enough to pass away during the warmer months.
Instead of offering comfort and support in the family’s time of grief, the council prefers to rub their hands together ghoulishly and think of how much money they can make from the tragedy. Somewhere at town hall there is likely someone getting excited every time a child gets sick or is struck walking in traffic to get to school.
(NORTH PERTH, ON) – One person has died following a motor vehicle collision in the Municipality of North Perth last night.
On October 12, 2024 at approximately 8:00 p.m., the Perth County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), along with Perth County Paramedic Services, and the North Perth Fire Department, responded to a serious motor vehicle collision on Perth Road 164 (Highway 23), just north of Line 77, North Perth. A pedestrian had been struck on the roadway.
The pedestrian, an 83-year-old North Perth resident, was pronounced deceased at the scene. There were no other injuries reported as a result of the collision.
The investigation is ongoing, and members of the West Region OPP Traffic Incident Management and Enforcement (TIME) Team are assisting Perth County OPP with the investigation.
The area of Perth Road 164 between Line 78 and Line 75 was closed for the protection of emergency responders and to facilitate the investigation, but has since reopened.
Updates will be provided as required.
Anyone with information regarding this or any incident is asked to call the OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or online at www.opp.ca/reporting. Should you wish to remain anonymous you can call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or leave an anonymous online message at www.P3tips.com where you may be eligible to receive a cash reward of up to $2,000.
(North Huron, ON) – Things got spicy at last night’s (10 Oct 2024) council meeting when disgraced Reeve Paul Heffer tried to dodge a simple yes-or-no question. The crowd, armed with their finest eye-rolls, saw right through his verbal gymnastics and responded with boos, jeers, and a few zingers that would make even the toughest politicians break a sweat. It’s fitting that the date was 10/10—police code for “Fight in Progress.” Well, council certainly got one.
The moderator, clearly caught off guard by the audience’s refusal to back down, looked like he might faint, especially after council members doubled down with their arrogant, condescending remarks. Instead of taking control, he let the verbal smackdown continue, likely fearing the crowd would turn on him next. No surprise—it was one of *those* nights.
From the get-go, Reeve/Mayor Paul Heffer was roasted like a Thanksgiving turkey. After enduring relentless grilling, he finally agreed to stop the illegal practice of dumping snow on sidewalks so kids won’t have to play Frogger in traffic on their way to school. And with pedestrian deaths up 82% last year, Heffer must’ve realized it’s not a great look to have children dodging both snowbanks and speeding cars. Finally, the town staff will have to do what they’re paid to do—protect the little ones.
In a rare moment of clarity (or sheer panic), Paul Heffer openly admitted he’s a coward—yep, those exact words left his mouth. His reason? He’s terrified of questions because, you know, the whole *risk of further incriminating himself and his buddies* thing. When the crowd heard him confess to his spinelessness, they responded with a resounding “Admitting it is the first step!” Cue the laughter. It was just another humiliation for the man who couldn’t give an honest answer if his political career depended on it.
(Wingham, ON) A restaurant in the heart of Wingham is once again facing threats from the Heffer family. The situation escalated several weeks ago after the North Huron Reeve/Mayor was confronted at a council meeting regarding his abuse of the by-law department and his threats to search and seize private property without a warrant. At the next council meeting, Paul Heffer took steps to remove public comments and is refusing to allow questions during council meetings.
Several weeks ago, someone claiming to be Jeremy Heffer entered Buck & Jo’s demanding that the F Paul Heffer flags come down. Jeremy and the owner had a discussion in which he agreed that the restaurant had the right to fly the Heffer flags, especially on their own street corner, and he apologized. This person then went to North Huron Reeve Paul Heffer to demand that questions be allowed at council meetings.
After the meeting with Reeve Paul Heffer, Jeremy returned to Buck & Jo’s with paperwork threatening a defamation lawsuit unless the flags were taken down and an apology was issued to the Heffer family, or the Herd as he refers to them. Defending against this threatened lawsuit would cost about $50,000 in court.
This terrorist tactic by the Heffer family, if successful, would extinguish the last ember of democracy and free speech in Canada. Buck & Jo’s gained international fame when they planted a Canadian flag in the middle of their dining room floor and stood their ground against segregation enforcement during the “apocalypse.”
The Heffer family, apparently united, is attempting to destroy the last -remaining few hundred square feet of preserved “Glorious and Free Canada.” Jeremy Heffer can be contacted at 519-291-8101 for verification, or contact a member of council below.
(North Huron, ON) – The quaint little town of North Huron has found itself tangled in a scandal that could only be rivaled by a soap opera on a particularly melodramatic day. Local council, led by none other than the illustrious Paul Heffer, has decided to take a bold stance on the age-old tradition of delivering public service: the good ol’ “let’s do absolutely nothing” approach. This unprecedented maneuver has not only left the citizens scratching their heads but has also inspired local businesses to fly “F Paul Heffer” flags in a spectacular act of civil rebellion. Because, remember folks, silence is golden, unless you’re a hometown council member in North Huron, then it’s just mandatory.
In a genuine display of democracy in action, the North Huron council recently moved to remove questions and comments from their meetings. Because who needs pesky citizen input when you have the glorious title of “council member” to cloud your judgment? This pivotal decision was spearheaded by our very own Paul Heffer, who apparently believes that facing public scrutiny is far worse than playing a riveting game of “let’s pretend the citizens don’t exist.”
Rumor has it that Buck & Jo’s, the local cafe where citizens congregate to drown their sorrows in coffee and pastries, has taken a stand against this glaring disregard for accountability. Their street corner now proudly adorns “F Paul Heffer” flags, a fine example of how to yell into the void when all traditional avenues of complaint are barred.
When asked if Paul Heffer had considered coming into the café to demand the removal of the flags, a representative cleverly stated, “Well, we’ve got the same question and comment policy for our brick-and-mortar establishment that the North Huron council has adopted. So, if Mr. Heffer wants the flags down, he can come in, but he’ll just have to wait until we’re ready to field questions. His best option is to restore questions and comments at council meetings, thereby allowing us to entertain his question/comment as our policies align with theirs. If we can’t ask questions there, he can’t ask questions here.”
But the pièce de résistance of this charade lies in the voicemail left by a Heffer, apparent spokesperson for the family: “Are you pieces of shit too cowardly to answer the f**ing phone? I’ll answer mine, call me back.” It seems that for the council, the citizenry’s disdainful feedback wasn’t enough; they opted to just go full throttle on intimidation, proving yet again that the true hallmark of leadership is not just a thick skin but a self-righteous inability to listen.
So, what’s next for the beleaguered people of North Huron? A recall election led by a raucous mob of flag-wavers? A neighborhood watch dedicated to monitoring council meetings through the windows? Or perhaps an underground pamphlet campaign pointing out that “A Silenced Citizenry is the True Democracy”?
Only time will tell, but one thing is certain—if North Huron’s council had a pair of ears, they’d probably still be ignoring their constituents. In the meantime, the town will surely remain a hotbed of absurdity and frustration, with the citizens clutching their mugs of coffee, sporting “F Paul Heffer” flags, and practicing long-distance shouting “Can you hear us now?” to the echoing abyss of council indifference. And who knows, maybe they’ll start their own municipal meetings in Buck & Jo’s. Maybe they’ll let people talk there. What a revolutionary idea!
(Wingham, ON) Current North Huron Reeve Paul Heffer openly threatened the Public at a recent meeting by stating he would be using the by-law enforcement to trespass and seize private property, then banned all comments and questions at council meetings. Shut up & stay home is the strong and clear message from North Huron council.
Buck & Jo’s, a restaurant in the heart of Wingham, has resorted to flying a F*ck Paul Heffer flag during business hours. “If Paul Heffer wants the flags down, he can come in and ask for himself, if he doesn’t ask, then the flags stay”.
Response has been swift from a herd of Heffers going to the restaurant and threatening and demanding the flag come down immediately, or else. The restaurant is now flying 2 Heffer flags in response.
Bullying and harassment at its worst, it seems it runs in the Heffer family. A large woman came in stating she was a Heffer, garnering giggles from customers, as they heard “heifer” a young female cow that has not borne a calf.
Many believe cow-ardly Heffer sent in these semi-articulate people to fight his battle from him, as he lacks the courage to ask or answer a question himself.
(North Huron) Once again, the illustrious North Huron Council has graced us with their unparalleled commitment to stifling democracy. In a move that can only be described as Orwellian, our beloved council has decided that the best way to serve their constituents is by silencing them. Public comments? Who needs them! After all, why should the people who pay their salaries have any say in how things are run?
In what can only be seen as a tribute to Nobel Prize “Winner” Alice Munro’s legendary bystanderism, the council is doubling down on their unwavering support for pedophilia and the fine art of looking the other way. Yes, that’s right. The Corporation of North Huron is proudly displaying plaques and dedicating libraries in honor of someone who embodies the spirit of doing absolutely nothing in the face of wrongdoing.
In a bold and fearless act, the council is sending a strong message: keep quiet and stay home. Their strategy is simple—if you can’t hear the complaints, then there must not be any problems!
A few years ago, in a stroke of genius, the council removed questions from council meetings. Now, they lament the lack of opportunities to answer those very questions. Their solution? Remove comments too! Why consider returning questions as a solution when you can simply erase any form of public participation?
This latest move is a masterclass in governance by censorship. It ensures that nothing controversial ever comes to light, all while fostering a community of enforced silence. The council’s message is clear: your voice doesn’t matter, your questions are unwelcome, and your concerns will be buried.
Hats off to the North Huron Council for their unwavering dedication to keeping the public in the dark. In an age where transparency is often touted as a virtue, it’s refreshing to see a council that so brazenly upholds the values of secrecy and suppression. Here’s to hoping their next move involves banning eye contact at council meetings—after all, if you can’t see the problem, it surely doesn’t exist.
(Wingham, ON) The issue of bystanderism is not just a matter of moral failure; it is a grave dereliction of our collective duty to protect the vulnerable and uphold the values of freedom and democracy. North Huron’s inaction in the face of such a clear moral imperative is nothing short of cowardice, and it is destroying lives.
Alice Munro’s failure to protect and support her child from a pedophile, despite being fully aware of the abuse, is a shocking betrayal. By standing by and doing nothing, she abandoned her most fundamental duty as a parent and a human being. This inaction is a clear example of how bystanders make people feel alone, unprotected, and unloved.
If we cannot stand up to protect our children, then what good are we? What kind of society allows a Nobel Prize winner to be honored when they have failed so egregiously in their most basic human responsibility? North Huron should have immediately obscured or removed Alice Munro’s name from any place of honor. By failing to do so, the Corporation of North Huron tacitly supports pedophilia and sends a message that such behavior is acceptable.
The removal of all references to Alice Munro from North Huron’s property must happen immediately. If there must be plaques and markers, let them be placed at the town hall, where the world can see that North Huron agrees this behavior, rather than at the edge of town, giving the impression that Wingham supports it in any way, shape, or form.
Replacing all mentions of Alice Munro with signs or plaques that read “Don’t Be a Bystander” is a step in the right direction. Schools, in particular, need to take a firm stand against bystanderism. No child should have to walk into a school—a place that should be a sanctuary—and be confronted with posters and books by Munro, a person who failed to protect and support her own child. This is not only a betrayal of the children but a clear signal that bystanderism is tolerated.
Schools should spearhead an anti-bystander campaign, making it clear that they do not honor those who refuse to help a child in need. The message must be unequivocal: we stand up for our children, and we do not tolerate those who fail to protect them.
North Huron, it is time to act. Take a stand against bystanderism, and show that you are committed to protecting our children, preserving our freedoms, and upholding the principles of democracy. Your inaction is a stain on our community and a betrayal of our values. It is time to make amends and take decisive action.
The next council meeting is Monday 6pm at the old Public School.
(North Huron, ON) After a grueling 972-day journey, Buck & Jo’s, a beloved local restaurant, has finally been exonerated of wrongful conviction by a Higher Court. The courageous owners, Buck and Jo, stood firm against the might of the Huron Perth Public Health (HPPH) and its officials, who had attempted to silence them with fines and legal punishment.
The ordeal began on January 12, 2023, when Buck & Jo’s was taken to court after allegedly failing to comply with COVID-19 safety protocols. Despite being found guilty by Justice of the Peace Frank Leddy on February 28, 2023, the restaurant’s owners refused to back down, knowing they had done nothing wrong.
The case took a dramatic turn on July 11, 2024, when Justice MacDonald delivered a stunning reversal, ruling that the original conviction was erroneous and ordering an acquittal. In his decision, Justice MacDonald acknowledged that the HPPH order was vague and lacked specificity, making it impossible for Buck & Jo’s to comply with its requirements.
Throughout the ordeal, Buck & Jo’s faced numerous challenges, including being forced to sit in the hallway for 6.5 hours as punishment for attending their own court hearing in person. The couple also suffered from Justice MacDonald’s inappropriate and puerile behavior, as he repeatedly referred to Mr. Hill (Buck) as “Mr. Hall” during the appeal.
The court’s acquittal is a testament to the unwavering determination and courage of Buck & Jo’s. Despite being threatened with fines and legal action, they stood their ground against what they believed was an unjust and overly broad government edict.
The case has raised serious questions about the accountability of government officials and their agencies. The fine imposed on Buck & Jo’s was not only excessive but also punitive in nature, aiming to deter others from non-compliance rather than addressing the specific issues at hand.
Buck & Jo’s story serves as a reminder of the importance of standing up for one’s rights and fighting against injustice. Their bravery has inspired many and will continue to be a beacon of hope for those who have faced similar challenges.
In the end, justice has been served, but not without scars. Buck & Jo’s have paid a heavy price for their courage, and it is imperative that those responsible for their ordeal are held accountable for their actions. As we move forward, we must ensure that our institutions prioritize fairness, transparency, and respect for individuals’ rights.
(North Huron, On) In what can only be described as a public relations train wreck, North Huron Reeve Paul Heffer turned this year’s Homecoming Parade into a spectacle of controversy and chaos. The Reeve, in a move that has left the town both amused and outraged, decided to take the prime spot in the leading firetruck—an honor traditionally reserved for a child or a disabled person to enjoy a moment of glory.
This blatant disregard for community tradition quickly turned the crowd’s cheers into jeers. As Heffer waved from his high perch, oblivious to the simmering resentment, he was met with a chorus of boos and the inventive addition of mooing—a cheeky play on his last name, Heffer, reminiscent of a heifer. The spectacle was as hilarious as it was humiliating.
The real show of defiance, however, came from the parade participants themselves. In an unprecedented act of protest, they left a gaping ten-minute gap between the firetruck carrying Heffer and the rest of the parade. This bold statement was their way of telling Heffer, “You are not our leader, and we won’t follow you.”
One local resident, summed up the sentiment: “When Heffer rolled by, I thought, ‘Here comes the joke of the parade.’ Turns out, he was the punchline.”
As the minutes ticked by with nothing but empty street, confused spectators started to question if the parade was over. Social media exploded with hashtags like #NotMyReeve and #ReeveMooveOver, with countless memes and gifs of cows taking the lead in various parades.
Even the town’s pets got in on the action. A group of dog owners organized an impromptu dog parade that promptly followed the firetruck down the sidewalk, complete with signs reading, “Our dogs have better leaders.”
As the dust settles, Reeve Heffer is left to navigate the aftermath of a public relations disaster of bovine proportions. Will he address the town’s uproar, or will he, like the ten-minute gap, leave the community in suspense?
One thing is certain: North Huron’s Homecoming Parade 2024 will be remembered not for its celebration, but for the audacious statement made by its community.
