Ontario Tribunal was supposed to take place this week regarding the Hallman Quarry Pit, a proposal rejected by all of Wilmot council. Residents were blindsided by a last minute “settlement” and they held an emergency meeting for proposed gravel pit. kitchener.ctvnews.ca/wilmot-residen…
The meeting to stop the Hallman Pit was filled to capacity. @saveourwater & concerned citizens believe the municipality was impacted by #bill23 which would allow developers to claim costs if the Tribunal ruled in their favour.
Landowners "stockpile" gravel-extraction approvals. And, once an approval (i.e. aggregate-extraction permit under the Aggregate Resources Act) is given the landowner can sell the land as both farmland and as a gravel pit. It is a Ponzi scheme. reformgravelmining.ca/petition
In Ontario the gravel mining industry is authorized to extract thirteen times more gravel every year than what we use, from more than 5,000 existing gravel mining sites in Ontario. It is putting out water supplies at risk. This spreadsheet is the view in Wilmot Township.
One in five properties isn’t owned by the land owner in Waterloo. We have land banking schemes happening here. Organized crime is linked to it. therecord.com/news/waterloo-…
The Hallman Quarry pit is risking 7% of Waterloo Region’s water supply. Economically it impacts everyone here and downstream from tax revenues to the jobs. We must protect the Waterloo Moraine for future generations who will need this farmlands & water. #stoptheHallmanPit
I literally told my city, MPs and MPPs about how land banking schemes in Canada were linked to Germany and the mob. I spoke to the Queen's Park judiciary about it years ago. They said unless I was a shareholder it was hearsay even though I provided them with media reports.

13 April 1950 the Duke of Windsor joined the Petroleum club for lunch as a guest of honor. The duke was made an honorary member and was the first person to sign the club's guest book. Petroleum Club merged with Renfrew to form the Calgary Petroleum Club. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calgary_P…
The Duke of Windsor collaborated with the Nazis. Why did the Calgary Petroleum Club honour a guy like that that? cbc.ca/documentaries/…
My mom said Acadian Lumberjacks had pants like this (first photo) in the color of the second photo pants, the color of fresh dried tobacco. The fabric was much stiff, soft and didn’t pleat. Kind of like US Calvary pants and it was designed to allow men to bend to cut trees.
The old logging pants used by Acadians had laces at the base of the leg like this. They would use boots or cover them with wool socks. They were worn with the Mackinaw plaid shirts and jackets.
My mom saw her brothers wearing these cut of pants as lumberjacks when they got contract jobs in Ontario and Quebec. pant style stopped being in use around 1942 because Nazi’s used them but Both US and German army used those style of pants. Patron had a pair.
@JustinTrudeau what the hell were you thinking to allow Li-Ka-shing to fund Human Trafficking studies via the Trudeau Foundation when Oil links to Human Trafficking issues?!
Canada’s justice system is reluctant to prosecute fraud, failing to deter fraudsters and putting the onus on victims to recover their own losses if offenders refuse to pay them back as ordered. cbc.ca/news/canada/to…
The justice system is overwhelmed. "There are many $1,000,000 plus frauds that are simply not being investigated because of the resource issues."cbc.ca/news/canada/to…
"There's a lack of political and institutional will to deal with financial crimes in a systematic and sustained way," said Vanessa Iafolla, a fraud victim consultant and financial crime professor at Wilfrid Laurier University. cbc.ca/news/canada/to…
I saw illegal banking and fraud schemes between Canada and Germany happening around Waterloo Region. I brought this to police & city and was told it was third party hearsay. International media coverage on it is here.
I saw all this. I presented it to the clerks office and Police. I tried to present it to the Ontario Municipal Board during hearing #PL071044 which I launched against this same developer.
