Shooter At Large – Huron Residents To Lockdown After Seaforth Shooting & Cover-up #CamerasUp

(FilmThePolice.ca) Huron OPP are now facing attempted murder allegations after an apparent botched execution attempt in Seaforth.

NOTE: Traditional media have used a cropped photo to help cover-up the unjustified shooting. The image below is from the SIU report, and contains one of the bullet holes proving it was an unjustified shooting. All other media outlets have chosen to edit out or omit the bullet hole.

The SIU evidence and investigation shows that Huron OPP repeatedly failed to use standard and appropriate methods to stop a vehicle, and instead tried to execute unarmed civilians in an extrajudicial punitive measure. The telltale bullet holes in the vehicle clearly show the officer lied in his notes, and then they refused to be interviewed. All residents of Huron County are encouraged to lockdown their property and video record ALL police interactions until this officer’s name is released.

The SIU’s decision to exonerate the officer in Case #23-PFI-424 is a grotesque miscarriage of justice. The evidence overwhelmingly suggests that the officer’s gunfire was not defensive but retaliatory, targeting the passenger (Complainant #1) after the vehicle had already passed him. The SIU’s conclusion that this shooting was “reasonable” is a disgrace—it rewards reckless violence and sends a clear message: police can shoot first, fabricate a threat later, and walk away unscathed.

1. The Shooting Was Not Defensive – It Was Punitive

A. The Officer Was No Longer in Danger When He Fired

  • The SIU admits there is conflicting evidence on whether the SUV was moving when shots were fired.
  • Video footage (from residential cameras) suggests the vehicle was already turning away when the officer discharged his firearm.
  • Forensic evidence shows bullets struck the passenger-side windshield and door—areas that would not be in the officer’s direct line of fire if he were truly defending himself from an oncoming vehicle.

Conclusion: The officer was not firing to stop an imminent threat—he was firing to punish the occupants for fleeing.

B. The Third Shot Was Especially Suspicious

  • Witnesses and audio recordings confirm two rapid shots, followed by a delayed third shot.
  • This pause suggests the officer reassessed and chose to fire again—not in panic, but in retaliation.
  • The bullet that struck Complainant #1 in the chest came from this third shot, proving the officer adjusted his aim to ensure a hit.

Conclusion: This was not “self-defense.” This was an execution attempt.

2. The SIU’s Flawed Justification Relies on Police Privilege

The SIU’s reasoning is a textbook example of cop logic:

  • “He feared for his life”—despite no evidence the civilians were armed.
  • “The SUV was a weapon”—ignoring that the officer stepped in front of it instead of retreating.
  • “The shooting was proportional”—even though three bullets into a fleeing car is excessive by any standard.

The SIU’s decision is not based on facts—it’s based on deference to police.

3. This Was Retaliation, Not Protection

The officer’s actions fit a well-documented pattern of police using lethal force as punishment:

  • Complainant #1 had just evaded arrest—a “sin” that often triggers police rage.
  • The officer shot at the passenger side, where Complainant #1 was seated, despite the driver being the alleged threat.
  • No attempt was made to disable the vehicle (tires, engine block)—the officer chose to shoot at human targets.

This was not about stopping a threat. It was about sending a message: “You don’t run from us.”

4. The SIU’s Decision Encourages More Police Violence

By rubber-stamping this shooting, the SIU has:
✅ Legitimized retaliatory gunfire against unarmed civilians.
✅ Reinforced that police can lie, exaggerate threats, and face no consequences.
✅ Sent a clear signal to officers: If you’re angry, you can shoot.

This is not oversight—it’s complicity.

Final Verdict: A Criminal Act Whitewashed as “Self-Defense”

The evidence proves this shooting was unjustified and retaliatory. The SIU’s decision to clear the officer is a betrayal of justice and a green light for further police violence.

If this is “reasonable,” then the law is broken.

Demand:

  • An independent review of the SIU’s decision.
  • Charges against the officer for aggravated assault.
  • Legislative reform to strip police of their “shoot first, justify later” immunity.

North Huron Council Aug 11, 2025: What’s in the Agenda Package

(Wingham, North Huron) The agenda package has been released for the Crown Corporation of North Huron meeting 11Aug2025. Click Here for a copy.

This meeting is heavy on governance and policy resets (new or revamped by-laws), a sidewalk winter-maintenance policy update that’s headed for a formal by-law next month, small but notable community grants/leases, and an event designation with an alcohol-policy waiver. There’s also a closed session for land acquisition and potential litigation.

Headline items (and why you should care)

1) Council’s rulebook is being overhauled (Procedure By-law + companion policies)

Council is set to adopt an updated Procedure By-law plus four companion governance policies: Petition, Accountability & Transparency, Public Notice, and Council Vacancy. These shape how meetings run, how you can petition Council, what notice you get, and how vacancies get filled.

A few consequential mechanics inside the new Procedure By-law:

  • Strong-Mayor mechanics & veto timelines are codified: after Council passes a by-law, the Head of Council has 2 days to approve (not veto), signal intent to veto (then has up to 14 days to decide), or outright veto; Council can override a veto within 21 days with a two-thirds vote.
  • It states the Head of Council alone decides if a proposed or vetoed by-law “potentially advances a prescribed provincial priority” (i.e., the Strong Mayor framework).

Why it matters: These rules affect how quickly things get done, how much notice you receive, and how power is exercised between Council and the Head of Council.

The Public Notice Policy (also up for adoption) formalizes minimum website notice periods, required info blocks, and emergency notice flexibility if public health or other urgent issues arise.

The Council Vacancy Policy spells out ballot-style voting by Councillors and tiebreaks “by lot” if needed.

2) Online voting platform locked in for 2026

Council will approve a Memorandum of Agreement with Simply Voting Inc. for the 2026 municipal election. The attachment details managed Voter Information Letters (VILs) and lays out privacy/security practices (TLS encryption, no third-party cookies on the voting platform, data access rules).

Why it matters: If you care about election integrity and voter-info handling, this is where it’s spelled out.

3) Sidewalk winter maintenance policy updated; adoption by by-law slated for Sept 2

Public Works brings an updated Winter Maintenance of Sidewalks Policy. Council is asked to approve the policy now and direct the Clerk to bring a by-law on Sept 2, 2025 to adopt it formally.

Why it matters: This touches safety, accessibility, and potential enforcement downstream (e.g., how responsibilities and standards get enforced once the policy is by-law backed). It’s the closest thing in this package to “by-law enforcement” subject matter.

Note on by-law enforcement mentions: There is no standalone By-law Enforcement activity report in this agenda package. The enforcement-adjacent piece is the sidewalk winter maintenance policy moving toward by-law adoption next meeting.

4) Event designation + alcohol-policy waiver

The Huron Pioneer Threshers & Hobby Association seeks “municipally significant” status for a bar at the Blyth & District Community Centre on Sept 5–6 (8:00 p.m.–12:00 a.m.). Staff recommends waiving the Municipal Alcohol Policy requirement for off-duty police/private security for this event.

Why it matters: Any waiver of security requirements is a policy exception—good to scrutinize for safety and precedent.

5) Small-ticket but local: grants and leases

  • Commercial Façade Improvement Grants: $4,920 for McBurney Funeral Home (35 Patrick St, Wingham); $275.69 for Lunar Lounge Salon (402 Queen St, Blyth), with agreements to follow.
  • Arena concessions (2025/26): Renew lease with OMG Twisted Fries at the Wingham complex; run an RFP for Blyth’s concession.

6) Facilities upkeep

Authorize $35,000–$37,000 for 2025 upkeep/repairs at Wingham Columbus Centre, drawing from its reserve.

7) Finance leadership appointment

Council will pass a by-law appointing Maria Thornton as Director of Finance/Treasurer, with powers and duties per the Municipal Act; the by-law rescinds the earlier interim appointment.

8) Delegation: Blyth 150th (for 2027)

A community-driven street-festival vision is being presented as an early planning step for Blyth’s 150th in 2027. Expect discussion on scope, volunteers, downtown impact, and local business ties.

9) Correspondence worth a peek (signals & context)

Incoming resolutions and notices include:

  • Opposition to Strong Mayor Powers (Ramara).
  • Opposition to Bill 17 (development charge deferrals/impacts) (Goderich).
  • Soil Health advocacy (ACW to Senator Black).
  • Niobium tailings opposition (Nairn & Hyman).
  • Elect Respect pledge (St. Catharines).
  • Bruce Power conference & United Way “Belonging Matters” event notices.

Why it matters: Even when they’re “for information,” these letters broadcast where other municipalities are leaning—useful leverage in local debates (e.g., Strong Mayor powers; growth financing).

Closed session

Two in-camera topics: land acquisition/disposition and potential litigation. Expect no public details until “reporting out,” if any.

What to watch / questions to bring

  • Procedure By-law:
    • How will the Strong-Mayor veto/override steps be communicated to the public in plain language and in real time?
    • Will the Clerk’s office publish an easy explainer page alongside the by-law? (Tie-in with the Public Notice Policy.)
  • Sidewalk Winter Policy:
    • Which sidewalks are prioritized, what are the service levels/response times, and how will this tie into enforcement once adopted by by-law on Sept 2?
  • Threshers event waiver:
    • On what basis is the security waiver justified, and is there mitigation (e.g., trained monitors, capacity limits)?
  • Online voting:
    • Clarify audit trails, PIN handling, and data retention timelines with Simply Voting (details are in Schedule A).

Bottom line

This meeting adjusts how Town Hall runs and sets up near-term enforcement relevance via the sidewalk winter policy. It’s also a good moment to push for clearer public explanations on Strong-Mayor procedures and election tech/privacy.

OPP Facing Dereliction Of Duty Allegations – Winghamites Taking Back Community – #WinghamStrong #YouWereWarned

(North Huron) The community of Wingham has reached a breaking point. Residents no longer trust the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) or the Huron Perth Public Health (HPPH) to protect them. From unchecked crime to alleged corruption, the people of Wingham feel abandoned by the very institutions meant to serve them.

Despite this massive failure, Winghamites are uniting to protect the children in their community, expunging drug dealers and squatters, with force when necessary.

OPP: Dereliction of Duty

The OPP’s failure to issue press releases on dangerous offenders has left the community in the dark, allowing criminals to roam freely. Reports of police brutality, drunken drivers, and drug dealers operating without consequence have become all too common.

  • Catch-and-release justice: The court system is seen as corrupt, with repeat offenders immediately returning to the streets.
  • Pedophile ring allegations: Whispers of an OPP covered-up pedophile ring, allegedly fueled by illegal drugs, have further eroded trust.
  • Fear of retaliation: Many residents are too scared to speak out, fearing violent backlash from criminals and police officers who operate with impunity.

Email opp public relations officers at [email protected] and [email protected] to find out why they have continued to fail our community.

HPPH: False Information and Failed Leadership

Huron Perth Public Health has also lost credibility.

  • False press releases: Amid an alleged measles “outbreak,” HPPH has been accused of spreading misinformation in the past without apology.
  • Inspectors lying in court: Public health officials have given false testimony, undermining their integrity.

Bylaw Enforcement: Afraid to Act

Local bylaw officers refuse to enforce regulations on Crown land, leaving residents to deal with:

  • Dog owners allow their dogs to crap on the sidewalks, and by-law enforcement is to afraid to confront the owners.
  • Squatters and trespassers taking over properties.
  • Illegal dumping turning neighborhoods into wastelands.
  • “Junkies” running rampant, with officials too afraid to confront them.

The Only Hope? The Fire Chief

In a system where trust has collapsed, many look to the Fire Chief as the last bastion of leadership—someone who might respect private property rights and “pivot us back to democracy.”

Social Media & Vigilantism

With authorities failing, residents, employers and landlords have turned to Facebook, using comment sections to locate suspected criminals that support/deal with each other and blacklist them. While controversial, it highlights the desperation of a community that no longer believes in its institutions.

Final Thoughts

Wingham is at a crossroads. Without immediate action from the OPP, HPPH, and local officials, the town risks descending into chaos. The people demand accountability—before it’s too late.

Buck & Jo’s Win Last Restaurant Standing™

Buck & Jo’s Homemade 6oz “Buck Burger” Wins Last Restaurant Standing: Best Burger 2025 – A Triumph of Flavor and Freedom

Ontario’s beloved Buck & Jo’s has claimed the title of Best Burger 2025 in Last Restaurant Standing with their “Buck Burger”, and it’s no surprise why. Their homemade BBQ’d Buck burger, crafted with care and slow-cooked for maximum smoky flavor, have won over critics and customers alike. Each 6 oz patty is grilled to perfection and topped just the way you like it, all brought together with their signature homemade BBQ sauce—a smoky, sweet, and savory masterpiece.

FaceBook: Buck & Jo’s On FaceBook
Google: https://g.page/r/CQ5ccXaNxg-uEAE

But Buck & Jo’s isn’t just famous for its food—it’s a symbol of resilience and freedom. During the COVID-19 pandemic, when many restaurants shuttered under pressure, Buck & Jo’s stood their ground. They refused to comply with what they saw as illegal demands from Huron Perth Public Health, choosing instead to protect the rights of their customers and staff. While others closed, Buck & Jo’s remained open, becoming a beacon of defiance against government overreach.

Their stance turned the small-town eatery into a bucket-list destination for freedom supporters across Canada and even the U.S. Unlike many businesses that enforced segregation policies, Buck & Jo’s welcomed everyone, standing firm in their belief that rights should never be violated—no matter the circumstances.

Buck & Jo’s Buck Burger is more than just a culinary win—it’s a testament to their unwavering principles, incredible burgers, and the loyal Freedom Fighter community that stood by them.

Come for the burger. Stay for the legacy.

North Huron Acknowledges Private Property Rights in Watershed Announcement #Victory

(Wingham, ON) — The Crown Corporation known as North Huron has, without prejudice, officially acknowledged Private Property Rights and has committed to no longer threatening its customers with trespass, theft or harassment.

This marks a significant shift, as North Huron now recognizes and respects private property rights, while disclaiming any liability for previous actions or inactions. This resolution opens the door for the entire community to move forward, allowing bylaw enforcement to focus exclusively on holding municipal staff accountable by enforcing bylaws solely on the corporation’s assets.

This decision by North Huron Council is the first of its kind in Canada and represents a major victory for property rights advocates and freedom fighters nationwide.

Tensions began spiraling out of control on Monday, October 31, 2022, at 3:43 PM, when Nancy Small, a North Huron by-law enforcement officer, contacted a local restaurant and claimed that the phrase “Vote Buck” was illegal and needed to be removed from both the business and the home of its owners.

Following a series of meetings and emails, by-law enforcement eventually stood down, refusing to participate in acts of trespass or theft.

The Corporation of North Huron subsequently attempted to outsource enforcement to a private firm. That firm refused to respond to emails from Buck & Jo’s and declined to enforce at the location. It appears their contract was not renewed, as they are no longer listed on the municipality’s website and have not been seen in town recently.

Buck & Jo’s then secured a written admission from North Huron’s CAO acknowledging that municipal bylaws apply only to assets owned by the corporation, not to the private property of customers. The CAO was swiftly replaced.

The restaurant had previously gone viral during the COVID-19 lockdowns when the owners stood their ground, confronted enforcers about their lack of authority, demanded accountability from an unresponsive health department, and refused to violate anyone’s rights.

NOTE: WFP has found NO evidence supporting the widespread rumors of a “massive peace summit” of freedom fighters and mayors being flown into Wingham via Helicopter ahead of this announcement.

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.

North Huron To Surveil All Downtown Residents, Customers & Public Claiming Alleged Legal Loophole Via BIA Department #AvoidWingham #PoliceState 

(North Huron) At last night’s council meeting of the Corporation of North Huron, they confirmed they will be video recording everyone that visits Wingham, drives or walks down Josephine St.  All Citizens are urged to avoid downtown Wingham at all costs, until the privacy and dignity of those living, working in Wingham can be restored.

A source has claimed Town Hall is doing this to monitor who is going into certain businesses, to identify dissenters, figure out which businesses are busy and profitable in case they want to start their own competing business, or how much to increase taxes on businesses.

The Corporation of North Huron’s BIA department has refused to solicit public input claiming the “Greater Good” overrides privacy rights.  

While what they originally prossed was highly illegal, they believe they can deflect that liability and prosecution to unsuspecting business owners with this new plan.

Backfire & Backlash Over Weaponizing the Fire Department #LetItBurn #UpYourInsurance

The Corporation of North Huron is once again attempting to politicize the fire department—this time by granting firefighters the powers of by-law enforcement officers and claiming they have authority over private property. This move comes just days after Doug Ford made new “Strong Mayor” (aka Dictator Mayor) powers available to North Huron.

This isn’t the first attempt to militarize the fire service. A previous effort under the so-called “Hometown Security Act” was thwarted when the Fire Chief at the time had the courage to resist and refused to allow the fire department to be corrupted by council overreach.

Tonight, the world will see whether North Huron’s firefighters still carry that same courage and commitment to saving lives—or whether their leadership will kneel to the corporate will of the Municipality of North Huron.

Furious citizens are already vowing not to call the fire department if their homes catch fire.

“Why would I? I’m not inviting by-law officers dressed as firefighters into my home to rifle through my bedroom, check my medicine cabinet, count my pets, measure my grass, or inspect for chickens.”

“Let it burn. It’s better for your insurance claim if the house is reduced to ashes anyway.”

“If the fire department accepts these powers, I’ll treat them the same as any other burglar or trespasser.”

“If these tyrants pull off this power grab, it’s time to shoot, shovel, and shut up.”

North Huron’s Plan to Merge Fire Chief and By-Law Roles Will Endanger Lives, Erode Public Trust

WINGHAM, ON — A controversial plan by the Township of North Huron to appoint the Fire Chief as a by-law enforcement officer is drawing serious concerns from residents, public safety advocates, and legal observers alike. The proposed move, which effectively combines emergency services with municipal enforcement, is being condemned as a reckless overreach of authority that could lead to 911 hesitancy, delayed emergency response, and loss of life.

North Huron’s by-law enforcement officers have long been the subject of public backlash, with multiple reports of abuse, intimidation, and unlawful enforcement on private property. Merging that enforcement apparatus with the fire department could permanently damage community trust in life-saving services.

“A fire department’s only job is to protect life and property—not to inspect wood piles or issue parking tickets,” said one local advocate. “Turning firefighters into by-law enforcers turns heroes into hall monitors.”

Key Dangers Identified:

  • 911 Hesitancy: Residents may hesitate to call for help in emergencies if they fear being fined or investigated afterward.
  • Loss of Trust: The fire service must remain neutral, trusted, and free from municipal enforcement agendas.
  • Creeping Control: This move may be part of a broader attempt by North Huron to extend its control onto private property under the guise of safety.

“The animosity toward by-law enforcement is well-documented,” said a local resident. “Trying to patch that distrust by dressing it in a fire chief’s uniform will backfire—possibly with deadly consequences.”

Call to Action:

Concerned residents are urging North Huron Council to:

  • Immediately halt any plan to merge fire and by-law roles.
  • Affirm the independence of the fire department as a life-saving service, not a municipal enforcement arm.
  • Restore public trust by ensuring emergency services are never used as a tool of surveillance or property control.

“Firefighters should save lives, not issue by-law warnings.”

The next council meeting is Monday 6pm, make your voice heard before then.

One Dead: NH By-law Enforcement Officers Facing Allegations of Abuse and Negligence Causing Death #WolfAtTheDoor

(North Huron) — Multiple shouting matches were overheard outside Wingham Town Hall this past winter. Tragically, the only outcome is that one Wingham resident is now dead—his life cut short due to the inexcusable failure of North Huron’s by-law enforcement officers to perform their duties.

Instead of enforcing municipal by-laws, these so-called “enforcement” officers spent their time threatening and extorting law-abiding customers of the Corporation of North Huron—actions carried out with the full knowledge and cooperation of current Mayor/Reeve Paul Heffer.

The Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) at the time confirmed that by-law enforcement was to be conducted only on property owned by the Corporation of North Huron—not on private property. That CAO was quickly replaced.

Despite repeated complaints about illegal snow dumping on sidewalks (s. 3.18 CYB), by-law officers admitted the activity was dangerous and unlawful, but refused to act. They failed to correct the hazard or contract the work out, as required by the municipality’s own bylaws.

As a result, an elderly man slipped, fell, and broke his hip. This led to another heated confrontation at Town Hall, where by-law enforcement was warned their negligence would either killed this man or severely shorten his life. Tragically, he has now passed away.

Rather than uphold their duty to enforce bylaws on municipal property and ensure town staff comply with the law, North Huron’s by-law department remains fixated on exerting authority over private property—failing miserably at the job they were actually hired to do.

The next council meeting is Monday at 6pm in the North Huron Council Chambers, located at 271 Frances Street, Wingham. (the old public school)
