New records were set in Ontario today. 56 more dead, 1,235 in ICU & 337 on ventilators. North Huron has one more case, South Huron 10 more and 5 more in North Perth.
Ontario reported 21 more deaths from Covid-19 yesterday, nearly one per hour. 20 more were put on ventilators and hospitalizations passed 1000.
Doug Ford claims the shutdown is necessary as “lives are on the line”. But don’t worry about it until after Christmas.
Thanks to Doug Ford’s cowardice and refusal to order an immediate shutdown, one person per hour will continue to die of the Vid, likely a senior or grandparent.
Why? Because some restaurants may have some produce that might go bad costing hundreds of dollars. Some may not do curbside pickup or takeout to clear out their inventory. I’m not sure how Doug Ford can speak so clearly when his mouth is so clearly full of bullshit.
It seems that Doug Ford is willing to sacrifice one senior per hour so he can dine out on Christmas.
Doug Ford refused to order an immediate province wide shutdown despite the urgent plea from hospitals, in fact he postponed it until midnight on Boxing Day. When questioned why the shutdown isn’t immediate, Premier Ford claimed that there could be some restaurants that might have some inventory in the green and yellow zones, and they might need until Saturday morning to clear out that inventory.
The lockdown will not happen for 5 more days risking countless thousands of lives. On the bright side, Ford can now claim he saved Christmas.
I hope Doug Ford will not be boasting about saving Christmas in front of those that will suffer the loss of a loved one due to Ford’s cowardice in calling an immediate shutdown.
This week’s most read stories are below. Please share.
More records were broken today as 2,432 more cases were reported in the last 24 hours for Ontario. There are now 263 people in ICU, 172 on ventilators.
Hospitals and front line workers are begging for a shutdown across Ontario. Please do your part to protect our vulnerable Citizens and
front line workers by following health department recommendations by wearing a mask properly and staying physically distant from those not in you immediate household. Too many sacrifices have already been made to give up now. There has already been too much financial devastation and loss of life. Wear a mask.
North Huron council has announced they have lots available for 35 homes. NH has spent $65,000 to shut down the trailer park, and even had a secret meeting to quash a law that protected it. No Public input was considered.
The Wingham Trailer Park’s 35 lots are valued at $150,000 – $200,000/ea, making the park worth $5.25 & $7 million. Now you know why North Huron council did whatever they had to, to start getting that money in their friend’s pockets. NH councillor Kevin Falconer even turned violent at that secret meeting when someone asked a question. He responded like his million dollar winning lottery ticket was being ripped up right in front of him. FACT: 7 people on council. FACT: $7 million divided among 7 people would be $1 million each.
Now you are probably saying to yourself “Self, I don’t remember seeing a for sale sign at the trailer park, or it listed in the MLS listing.” You would be right.
So why wasn’t it listed for sale so the taxpayers could get market value for the trailer park? That $7 million might not end up in their buddies’ pockets, or only just a tiny portion of it would, and contracts may not be awarded to the “right” people.
Now the $7 million dollar question is, where’s our f**king money, and what BS are they going to blind the public with so we overlook yet another land scandal.
Calls for MVCA’s defunding and extinction have grown after the complete failure to protect Wingham by allowing precious floodplains to be filled in for gas pumps and McDonalds. According to sources there were no environmental studies done and no approvals acquired before starting.
MVCA claims they can’t/couldn’t afford the $2,500 to run a simulation to see the devastation that would happen when they allowed the floodplain to be filled in for gas pumps. Millions of dollars were invested in that project, but a $2,500 study to see who would be affected was never done. Why? It would have drawn attention to the illegal filling of the floodplain and allowed time for the public to offer input and save their properties.
MVCA refuses to protect our watersheds and floodplains, yet they still accept massive paychecks funded by our tax dollars. They serve no purpose other than to rubber stamp big businesses that want to fill in floodplains in exchange for more funding through the new taxes that property generates.
When a former Chief of Police mentions that North Huron Reeve bernie bailey should be investigated due to his real estate dealings/conflict of interest you know things are bad, beyond bad. In fact the only response from disgraced North Huron Reeve bernie bailey at the time was to scream back that he “doesn’t take to threats” during his tantrum.
FACT: Reeve bernie bailey is paying less property tax than nearly everyone else in Wingham.
North Huron Reeve bernie bailey is only paying tax on a $250,000 assessment for his home at 595 Josephine St. Wingham, instead of the $1.3 million current market value. This means instead of paying $26,000/year in property tax he is paying about $5,000. Please note there has been about a “trailer park’s” worth of renovations done this summer on his home at 595 Josephine St. Wingham.
Taxes will be re-doubling again for most in North Huron as bernie bailey’s council is giving away 5-10 million of taxpayer dollars to loyalists to get Lagoonaville ready for development. This development is right beside the Wingham sewage lagoon, some still refer to it as Hutton Heights or the Sewage Suites. Property taxes are expected to be around $10,000 – $12,000/year, plus water, sewer, and garbage fees. A small price to pay for that ever-present sewage stink so you can do a covid symptom check by opening a window to make sure your sense of smell still works.
The 5-10 million will be spent on “studies and buddies”. It makes no difference if zero people buy into the sewage suites way of living, they will still get their millions of taxpayer dollars. It will be like the last attempt at the 400 home subdivision where they spent about a half a million dollars. Everyone paid the price through higher taxes. The ONLY ones to benefit are those “contractors” and councilors that got kickbacks/incentives and those holding the land.
Not only will bernie bailey and his council make sure there are no assets left in North Huron by giving away all our real estate for pennies on the dollar, they are running up debt at record levels. $20,000 for three tvs they don’t use is just one tiny example of how corrupt they are.
Since there is no one to give councillors a kickback for clearing all the sidewalks, it will never happen. There is just no profit in it for them, unlike real estate scams where they can get millions of land or dollars into their friends hands for discount renovations or free tvs.
Despite social distancing rules, DO NOT expect North Huron to do anything different this year regarding pedestrian safety. You can walk in traffic this winter just like every other year and admire all the blocked sidewalks.

If you have to ask how much the taxes are, you can’t afford to live here.
The starting price for a Wingham home is now $400,000 if you check realtor.ca. The reality is you likely can’t get into Wingham at any price, as no one wants to sell their Wingham home and no one wants to stay in the Cities. Currently there is only one home listed for sale on Realtor.ca. Most buyers are not informed that since they are paying double the current assessment, their taxes will be doubling. Disclosing that kills too many deals.
Let’s pretend you are lucky enough to get a home in Wingham for $450,000, taxes would be $9,000/year or $800/month. Then you have to add about $90/month for water, pay for each bag of garbage, and walk in the streets in the winter because NH council and staff don’t want to clear all the sidewalks.

Ma & Pa shops are shuttering across Ontario like dominos due to massive drops in business and/or to protect their Communities. Estimates range up to 80% of small town Ma & Pop businesses won’t survive this apocalypse. This will remove the culture and individuality of our rural towns, as the businesses have fallen through the cracks and get no support from any level of government.
Big box stores in Ontario have used a loophole to be “an essential service” to keep open during lockdowns, taking business away from main streets everywhere. National chain restaurants stay open with 75% wage subsidies paid for with our tax dollars, while the Ma & Pop shops get nothing as they fall through the cracks. Forced to subsidize the competition while the government shuts your business down has to be a bitter pill to swallow.
In Canada it is legal to gift up to 30 grams of dried cannabis to anyone of legal age. Many businesses have taken to including a free “cannabis gift” with every purchase. Some even offer home delivery in under an hour.
In Huron County there are already numerous businesses that give cannabis away with each purchase. Bongs, t-shirts, pizza and even snow removal come with free weed if you know the right business. Most are already widely known in the area, ask around.
Expect more and more small businesses to offer free cannabis with purchase in the future.
While some still think Covid-19 is a hoax, those staffing our hospitals trying to keep 195 alive in our ICUs would disagree. 107 people are on ventilators.
Please wear a mask properly as a sign of respect for those front line workers trying to keep the 666 currently in hospital alive.
Stats as of 03Dec2020
New Cases: 1,824
Hospitalized: 666
ICU: 195
On Ventilator: 107
The future of Wingham Free Press and the 50,000+ police press release archive are now in the hands of the Public. Should WFP expand and include press releases from EVERY police service in Ontario? Should the Free Press Network expand to protect more Communities?

A Free Press is the only “opposition party” for municipal governments in Ontario. It is the duty of a Free Press to question and hold municipal governments to account. To maintain that independence a Free Press can not take any money from any level of government. To be truly independent a Free Press can not accept money from any business either, as that could lead to a future conflict and/or bias.
Our journey has saved Wingham taxpayers millions of dollars over the last decade, disbanded the Wingham Police Force, exposed municipal waste, backroom deals, exposed police corruption, got several high level resignations, got more sidewalks cleared in the winter, created a police press release database, started North Huron Block Parents, got council to live stream council meetings, etc. etc. All on a near zero budget.
For over 10 years Wingham Free Press has been run by volunteers. To help cover the increasing costs of hosting and maintaining the website Google Ads has been occasionally utilized. We would like to remove ads forever from Wingham Free Press making WFP truly free from any future conflicts of interests.
