Repeat Offender Openly Threatens Public With Trespass & Theft

(North Huron, ON) In a series of recent emails, current North Huron CAO Dwayne Evans repeatedly stated their corporation’s by-laws only apply to land owned by the corporation, not private property.

At the 21May2024 council meeting, repeat offender and current North Huron Reeve paul heffer disagreed with the CAO’s legal advice, and openly admitted he will break the law and order staff to trespass and to seize property. 

Current by-law enforcement is refusing to violate the rights of taxpayers and therefore is being replaced with a private for-profit firm that will allegedly just follow orders and do as commanded by council.

Next Council meeting is 03June2024, 6pm.

Council Chambers is now at the old Public School: https://www.google.com/maps/@43.8853998,-81.3087138,3a,75y,110.01h,83.88t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sD3uE9QNQ_y-aOWk3_aO3Sw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?entry=ttu

SS Coming For NH Residents – Prepare To Be Inspected: Property Tax Banner Illegal According To Corrupted CAO

(Wingham, ON) A 4×8 banner comparing property tax rates has once again become a roadblock in downtown Wingham, causing a commotion among citizens. Shocked by the exorbitant tax rates in Wingham, residents are stopping to take photos, unable to believe the stark reality.

The current North Huron CAO (Dwayne Evans) has demanded the banner’s removal, threatening trespass and theft if his orders are not followed. However, by-law enforcement officers are refusing to comply with these demands, aware that they would be held legally liable for any rights violations.

Council is divided on whether or not they should respect the law and private property Rights. North Huron Reeve Paul Heffer (puppet paul) has declared property rights are null and void and will not be respected, despite the CAO’s admission their by-laws only apply to their corporations assets.

North Huron is going to replace the current by-law enforcers with a private firm that will allegedly “just follow orders” and enforce NH’s by-laws on private property claiming they are responsible for “social standards”.

Massive Victory For Canadian Freedom Movement – NH CAO Re-Confirms Never Had Authority On Private Land #StandYourGround

(Wingham, ON) Current North Huron CAO Dwayne Evans has confirmed via email, cc’ed to North Huron councilors, that their corporation’s by-laws only apply to lands owned by the corporation. This admission opens the corporation up to possible legal consequences if by-law enforcement continues to violate private property rights.

By-laws are rules and regulations set by local governments to govern the maintenance, standards and use of their assets. These by-laws are typically enforced by by-law officers, who have authority to ensure compliance with these regulations. However, it’s essential to note that by-law officers only have jurisdiction on the corporation’s property and do not have authority on private land.

In some cases, there have been incidents where by-law officers have attempted to exercise their authority on private land, pretending that they had the power to enforce bylaws in these areas. This intentional conflation of boundaries raises questions about overreach of authority and violation of property rights.

By-laws are meant to regulate behavior on the corporation’s land, such as maintenance standards,  noise levels, building codes, or animal control. By-law officers are tasked with enforcing these rules to ensure the corporation’s assets are maintained and not abused. However, by-laws do not apply to private property, as individuals have the right to govern their own land as they see fit, as long as they are not in violation of any laws or regulations.

When by-law officers attempt to enforce bylaws on private land, they are overstepping their boundaries and violating property rights. This can lead to legal disputes and conflicts between property owners and local governments. It’s essential for individuals to be aware of their rights when it comes to by-laws and property rights.

The focusing of enforcement on private property while ignoring infrastructure has cost taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars to repair/replace neglected infrastructure that would have cost only a fraction of that amount if maintained properly.
