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.

The “Get It Done Act” (Bill 162, 2024) – A Green Light for Government Land Grabs

Ontario’s Get It Done Act, 2024 (Bill 162) may sound like an effort to cut red tape and speed up infrastructure—but buried within its text is a dangerous expansion of government power that could obliterate private property rights across the province.

❗ What’s Hidden in Plain Sight:

 This Act quietly amends the Environmental Assessment Act to explicitly allow expropriation—government seizure of private land—before environmental reviews are complete.

In other words:

The government can now take your land first, and ask questions later—or possibly never.

⚠️ A Chilling Scenario:

  1. You own farmland, a family home, or a business.
  2. The province announces a vague infrastructure project.
  3. Without your consent—and before assessing if the project is even viable or environmentally safe—your land is expropriated.
  4. Public consultation is skipped or minimized. There is no requirement to prove necessity before the seizure.
  5. If the project changes, stalls, or is scrapped, you don’t get your land back—it’s gone. Possibly flipped to developers later.

💣 Why This Is a Massive Rights Violation:

  • Property rights are the cornerstone of a free society.
  • This bill turns that principle on its head—making every Ontarian’s land potentially temporary.
  • Environmental assessments were safeguards, meant to ensure that projects were justified, safe, and publicly reviewed. By allowing land seizures before these assessments, the government removes the only layer of accountability left.
  • It effectively revives and legitimizes the Greenbelt land swap-style corruption that caused public outcry and ministerial resignations.

👁️‍🗨️ Who’s at Risk?

  • Rural landowners
  • Farmers
  • Seniors on fixed properties
  • Small businesses
  • First Nations and environmentally protected areas

If you have land near a proposed road, transit line, or housing zone—you could be next.

🔥 Final Warning:

This is not just about “getting things done.”
It’s about **getting what they want—**your land—without your voice, consent, or recourse.
 Bill 162 erodes due process, undermines environmental protections, and sets the stage for widespread abuse.Ontario is not a dictatorship.
But if this Act is left unchallenged, it’s one giant leap toward one.

UPDATE: Reeve Finally Put In Place, Staff Revolt, CAO Gone, Accounting Crisis & Taxpayers Have Money Stolen From Account – More Victims Feared

(North Huron) North Huron CAO is now gone, and countless customers of North Huron have had their accounts depleted, and in some cases emptied by North Huron. Current Reeve Paul Heffer is refusing to comment, apologize, or offering to cover all costs associated with this theft. Experts confirm that if it was not theft, it was incompetence on an unprecedented level. To find out if you have been affected or to see what compensation you are entitled, to contact Paul Heffer at (519) 357-3594 and/or [email protected] 

Parade: Still Not Our Leader

Disgraced North Huron Reeve/Mayor Paul Heffer was finally put in his place after his shocking appearance in the last parade where Citizens of good conscience refused to follow their “leader” and left a 10 minute gap in the parade as sign of respect for Heffer’s victim.

This time the reeve did not displace a Community Living member by hogging the shotgun seat in the lead firetruck. Heffer was forced to be at the very end of the parade to prevent any further protests. This way his presence wouldn’t slow the parade again.

This Man Is A Liar Posters

Town Staff are refusing to follow direction from the current reeve and refusing to cease and desist their illegal activity, and have actually increased it by intentionally dumping snow on sidewalks they have been regularly clearing for years, endangering even more lives. Several different posters have sprung up around town, the most noticeable are the “If snow has been dumped on this sidewalk in violation of Clean Yards By-law: 3.18 forcing pedestrians to walk in traffic, then this man is a Liar!“

For an update on the rapidly evolving crisis, please contact your Representative on council.

For Profit Prosecution At Goderich Courthouse : Greed Over Justice

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.
