LONDON, ON (April 17, 2024) – An off-duty London police officer is facing charges in relation to an impaired driving investigation.
On Wednesday, April 17, 2024, at approximately 1:30 p.m., an off-duty London police officer operating a motor vehicle in the area of Highway 401 westbound and Wonderland Road was stopped by members of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP).
During the stop, the OPP officer entered into an impaired investigation.
As a result, Constable Darryl Horan, 35, of Woodstock was arrested and charged with the Criminal Code offence of impaired exceed blood alcohol concentration.
The accused was released with conditions and is expected to appear in London court on June 4, 2024, in relation to the charge.
The officer has twelve years of service with the London Police Service.
(Goderich, Ontario) The look of terror in the judge’s eyes as he sheepishly slinked into the courtroom was apparent. Several morbidly obese police filled the room. Accompanying them was a stench of sour milk and body odor, likely due to the inability of the portly officers to maintain a satisfactory level of personal hygiene due to their obesity.
Monday 15April 2:00 the courthouse was virtually shutdown for the appeal continuation of a Wingham restaurant owner. Justice MacDonald claimed he is allowed to override the Canadian Bill Of Rights by claiming his court’s policy overrides all rights and protections offer by the Supreme Law Of the Land. Reporters are not allowed to record for accuracy, and victims can’t video record for their own protection in his presence.
At the start of the appeal the terrified and confused judge had to be reminded by the gracious court staff on how he said they were going to proceed. Once the stench of the judge’s brain fart dissipated, he remembered what he said, calmed down, tantrum was over and the Activist was allowed to proceed.
Due to Timothy Gordon MacDonald’s ($356,021/year) threatening to destroy anyone that digitally records and reports on his actions/inactions, there is no option other than having Artificial Intelligence fill in the gaps and create the images based on the best recollections of witnesses.
MacDonald will be releasing his ruling on 11July2024. Numerous writeups detailing the Activists appeal will be release between now and then.

Toronto, ON – The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) has issued an Order of Monetary Penalty totaling $200,000 to 2776112 Ontario Inc., the licensed operator of the Cannabis Xpress chain of cannabis retail stores, for alleged violations of Ontario’s regulatory standards related to provincial anti-inducement laws.
The provincial Cannabis Licence Act, 2018 and the AGCO’s Registrar’s Standards for Cannabis Retail Stores (the Standards) prohibit Ontario cannabis retailers from asking for or accepting inducements from cannabis producers as a condition of selling or giving preferential treatment to products in their stores.
After receiving information regarding inducement activity, the AGCO undertook compliance inspections of Cannabis Xpress, including a review of over 82,000 relevant documents, and found that Cannabis Xpress’s so-called “Data Services Program” and/or other agreements, which it entered into with licensed cannabis producers (LPs) are, in fact, an inducement program.
Notably, over a period of at least 30 months, the licensee repeatedly sought the participation of over a dozen LPs in so-called “data service” or other such agreements. These agreements were actually an indirect means of requesting and accepting prohibited inducements where, for a fee or a percentage of product sales, Cannabis Xpress gave preferential treatment to products from LPs that had executed such unlawful agreements to the disadvantage of those that had not.
For example, the licensee refused to stock an LPs product unless they agreed to enter into prohibited inducement agreements and promoted the sale of cannabis products from producers who entered such inducement deals. It was found that the licensee attempted to disguise these illegal payments as agreements for the sale of data for business intelligence purposes, which are permissible under the Standards.
The AGCO is committed to ensuring that the cannabis retail sector operates with honesty, integrity and in the public interest.
A licensed retailer served with an Order of Monetary Penalty by the AGCO has the right to appeal the Registrar’s action to the Licence Appeal Tribunal (LAT), an adjudicative tribunal independent of the AGCO and part of Tribunals Ontario.

(Huron, On) Destroying or tampering with evidence as a government official is a serious offense with significant legal consequences. The specific penalties and repercussions for such actions vary depending on the jurisdiction and the nature of the evidence involved. Below are some potential legal consequences for government officials who destroy or tamper with evidence:
1. Criminal Charges: Government officials who deliberately destroy or tamper with evidence may face criminal charges, such as obstruction of justice, tampering with evidence, or even destruction of evidence. These offenses can carry severe penalties, including fines, imprisonment, and damage to their professional reputation.
2. Civil Liability: In addition to criminal charges, government officials may also face civil lawsuits for their actions. Individuals or entities affected by the destruction or tampering of evidence could seek damages for any harm caused, such as loss of rights, financial losses, or reputational harm.
3. Dismissal or Suspension: Government officials found guilty of destroying or tampering with evidence may face disciplinary actions within their organization. Depending on the severity of the offense, they could be dismissed from their position, suspended, demoted, or face other administrative sanctions.
4. Legal Consequences for the Case: Destroying or tampering with evidence can significantly impact the outcome of a legal case. In criminal proceedings, the prosecution may be unable to prove its case without crucial evidence, leading to the dismissal of charges or acquittal of the defendant. In civil cases, the destruction of evidence could result in adverse judgments against the government entity and its officials.
The acceleration of society’s downfall due to government officials destroying or tampering with evidence can have several far-reaching consequences:
1. Erosion of Trust in Institutions: When government officials engage in actions that undermine the integrity of the justice system, it erodes public trust in the government and institutions. Citizens may lose faith in the fairness and impartiality of the legal system, leading to decreased confidence in the rule of law.
2. Injustice and Impunity: Destroying or tampering with evidence can lead to miscarriages of justice, where innocent individuals are wrongly convicted or guilty parties escape accountability. This perpetuates a culture of impunity and injustice within society, breeding resentment and disillusionment among the populace.
3. Deterioration of Rule of Law: The rule of law is a cornerstone of a democratic society, ensuring that all individuals, including government officials, are subject to the law and accountable for their actions. When officials engage in criminal behavior such as destroying evidence, it undermines the rule of law and erodes the principles of justice and equality before the law.
4. Social Unrest and Distrust: The discovery of government officials engaging in misconduct, such as destroying evidence, can provoke social unrest, protests, and civil disobedience. Distrust in government institutions can lead to destabilization, polarization, and conflict within society, further accelerating its downfall.
In conclusion, the destruction or tampering with evidence by government officials is a serious breach of ethical and legal standards that can have profound consequences for individuals, institutions, and society as a whole. Upholding the rule of law, ensuring accountability, and maintaining transparency are essential to prevent the acceleration of society’s downfall due to such misconduct.
(Goderich, On) When a judge ignores and refuses to address perjury committed by government officials or police in their courtroom, it has severe consequences for justice, freedom, and equality.
First and foremost, allowing perjury to go unchecked undermines the credibility of the judicial system. Perjury is a serious offense that is punishable by law, and when it is committed by those in positions of power, such as government officials or police officers, it erodes the public’s trust in the legal system. By turning a blind eye to perjury, judges are essentially condoning dishonesty and corruption within the justice system, which can have devastating effects on the fairness and integrity of court proceedings.
Furthermore, ignoring perjury by government officials or police perpetuates a culture of impunity and privilege. When those in positions of authority are allowed to lie under oath without facing any consequences, it sends a message that they are above the law and can act with impunity. This not only undermines the rule of law but also contributes to a system where certain individuals are given preferential treatment based on their status or position, rather than being held accountable for their actions.
The refusal of a judge to address perjury by government officials or police also has a chilling effect on the pursuit of justice. Victims of perjury may be discouraged from coming forward or speaking out against powerful individuals if they believe that their claims will be dismissed or ignored by the court. This not only denies victims their right to seek justice but also perpetuates a cycle of injustice and inequality within the legal system.
In conclusion, the failure of a judge to address perjury by government officials or police in their courtroom has dire consequences for justice, freedom, and equality. It erodes public trust in the legal system, perpetuates a culture of impunity and privilege, and discourages victims from seeking justice. It is essential for judges to uphold the principles of honesty, accountability, and fairness in order to ensure that justice is served and equal rights are upheld for all individuals.

The idea of for-profit criminal prosecution, where private companies or individuals are incentivized to prosecute and punish individuals for criminal offenses in order to make a profit, is a controversial and potentially dangerous concept. While proponents argue that it could lead to more efficient and cost-effective criminal justice system, the reality is that this model can have several negative societal consequences and can ultimately harm democracy and freedom.
One of the main concerns with for-profit criminal prosecution is that it creates a financial incentive for prosecutors to seek convictions, regardless of the guilt or innocence of the accused. This can lead to a system where individuals are unfairly targeted and prosecuted for crimes they did not commit, simply to increase the profits of the private prosecution company. This not only undermines the principles of justice and fairness, but it can also result in innocent individuals being wrongfully punished.
Additionally, the profit motive in criminal prosecution can also lead to a focus on pursuing cases that are more likely to result in guilty verdicts, rather than cases that are truly in the public interest. This can lead to a prioritization of certain types of crimes over others, potentially neglecting important issues such as white-collar crime, corruption, or civil rights violations. In essence, the pursuit of profit can override the pursuit of justice and the protection of society.
Furthermore, for-profit criminal prosecution can also create a conflict of interest, as private companies may prioritize their financial interests over the best interests of the accused or society as a whole. This can erode public trust in the criminal justice system and undermine the integrity of the legal process. If individuals believe that prosecutions are driven by profit rather than the pursuit of justice, they may lose faith in the fairness and impartiality of the legal system.
In addition to these negative consequences, the for-profit criminal prosecution model can also harm democracy and freedom. By allowing private companies to wield significant power in the criminal justice system, there is a risk of undermining the role of government and the accountability of public officials. This can lead to a privatization of justice and a erosion of democratic principles, as decisions about who to prosecute and punish are increasingly made by profit-driven entities rather than by elected officials accountable to the public.
Overall, the for-profit criminal prosecution model has the potential to create serious negative consequences for society, including undermining the principles of justice and fairness, eroding public trust in the legal system, and harming democracy and freedom. Instead of incentivizing private profit in the criminal justice system, society should prioritize fundamental values such as the rule of law, due process, and the protection of individual rights. It is essential to ensure that the pursuit of justice is not compromised by the pursuit of profit.

(Huron, Ontario) A contractor fighting cancer who had his bulldozer stolen while going through cancer treatments went to the OPP a month and a half ago for help. The OPP stated that since he didn’t have an “ownership” for it like road licensed road vehicles, there is nothing they will do about it.
The OPP erroneously believe that construction equipment has the same type of ownership as an automobile. The OPP are asking for something that doesn’t exist, and are refusing to do their job until this fictional non-existent document is produced.
The Contractor rented the equipment to the accused for 2 weeks. The accused took the bulldozer to his property, posted no trespassing signs up and refused to allow the Contractor to get his property.
Brent Mills, the contractor, reached out for help. Below is a portion of the video proving the OPP’s ignorance regarding “ownerships”.
Below is part of what transpired on Monday.
OPP Refuse to do anything regarding theft of construction equipment.
