#13 Ministerial Zoning Orders (MZO)
What’s an MZO?
Ministerial Zoning Orders (MZOs) are UN tools written by globalist lawyers that are used to steal private property in Ontario. Once the UN’s Planning army was installed into every municipality to rezone and harass private property owners, the UN needed to install a way for the government to quickly satisfy the demands of foreigners, such as the Chinese Communist Party that owns roughly 1/3 of all agricultural lands in Ontario.
The MZO is a tool in Ontario’s Planning Act that provides the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing the authority to approve zoning without public consultation or opportunities for appeal.
So, all that hot air in the Planning Act and the Municipal Act about having to consult with the public, is just that, hot air.
Easy-peasy – the UN’s NGOs just write whatever legislation the UN needs because that’s what legislation is for – to legalize theft and violations of the Laws of GOD that are the only laws that can be lawfully imposed on human beings.
MZOs can be waved in the face of any private property owner who stands in the way of the Communist Chinese taking over all natural resources and farmland in Ontario, and nothing can be done about it.
An MZO simply means ‘we do because we want to and you have nothing to say about it, peasant’. Think Mafia.
What’s the purpose of an MZO?
MZOs were supposed to be used primarily in areas of Ontario that have no municipalities responsible for drafting up official plans and zoning bylaws like areas in Northern Ontario. Of course, that’s the Trojan-horse excuse.
That excuse should have been a red flag right there, since Northern Ontario still has an abundance of natural resources that China wants to steal from Canadians.
MZOs can also be applied to municipalities that don’t have sophisticated planning subsystems and where the situation is of major provincial interest. By sophisticated planning subsystems they mean ‘don’t have a monstrosity of a planning department that has every trick available to swindle Ontarians under the color of law’.
Why should giving control of our natural resources to Communist China be of ‘major provincial interest’? Because Communist China owns and controls our military, our governments at all levels and most of our farmlands and resources, including our gold, thanks to the former federal Conservative government of Stephen Harper, et al.
Why is this important?
MZOs are supposed to be rare. However, Steve Clark, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing has issued over 30 MZOs, which is more than any minister in the past 20 years combined.
It’s fair to ask what China and international actors have on Steve Clark to make him so abusive with these MZOs?
As you will learn from our PROPERTY THEFT page that will be released in a future Series, they stole the title of your property, and you are merely the tenant, doing as you are ‘by-lawed’ into doing.
It’s nothing for a corrupt politician in an influential position to then simply take the property outright, just as municipalities have been expropriating property and even just driving property owners off by taxing and harassing them into an early grave or bankruptcy.
The following is a recent example illustrating how Ministerial Zoning Orders (MZOs) work (keep in mind that the enemy, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), owns and controls these corporations that have taken over our lands and that the CCP and the UN are joined at the navel in a partnership):
Chinese Communist-owned Xinyi Canada Glass proposed to build a $400 million glass manufacturing facility on part of a 130-hectare stretch of land along Highway 7 and Line 29 in Stratford, Ontario.
The proposed site was annexed through a boundary adjustment agreement with Perth County and the Township of Perth South approved by Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing in July 2020.
The same month, the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, Steve Clark approved a Minister’s Zoning Order (MZO) for a portion of those lands specifically permitting “manufacturing, processing, fabrication, assembly, distribution and storage of raw materials relating to the manufacturing of float glass.”
In a Zoom call organized by a group called Get Concerned Stratford on January 7th, 2022, it was confirmed by Stratford Mayor Matheson that the council had signed a non-binding letter in 2018 and in December 2020 signed a binding letter with Xinji Canada Glass.
Agreements the Council of Stratford had entered into behind closed doors and without public consultation to discuss and/or vote on the project WAS ALL ORCHESTRATED BY UN NON-GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES (NGOs).
The plan and the undisclosed details will have devastating effects on the health and welfare of Stratford residents, wreak untold environmental damage, and deplete the resources of the city’s aquifer, since such an industry utilizes enormous amounts of fresh water in their processes.
Where are the loud-mouth eco-fascists when you need them? This issue is a real issue, but they are too busy manufacturing ‘climate change’ lies.
The implications of this project will also impact the water resources of surrounding towns and villages. Learn more here.
According to a CTV News report published January 22, 2021, this corruption has expanded to Wilmot Township in Ontario!
‘Who cares?’ asks the municipality, knowing there is no appeal! They willfully and repeatedly broke transparency rules, violated the Municipal Act provisions on meetings and public consultations, and continued to try to dupe Stratford residents, who persisted in making this entire corrupt scheme a nightmare for crime boss, Premier Doug Ford.
On November 22, 2021, the toothless Auditor General of Ontario said in a new report that the public had been entirely ignored on MZOs, and the damage to the environment. The situation was worse than that because all meetings were held behind closed doors, the public was denied minutes of the meetings and all evidence/documentation considered at the meeting.
See here to learn how Sustainable Development Goals create local chokeholds on planning meeting attendee experience. Click here to learn why Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) are said to be Ground Zero UN enslavement of Canadians and Americans.
Is it any wonder then that:
on February 15, 2022. Stratford City Council was selected as 2021’s ‘most secretive’ municipal body by the Centre for Free Expression, Ryerson University, and
on February 19, 2022, Stratford city council was declared Canada’s ‘most secretive’ by a Toronto think-tank according to a CBC News Report?
The corporate municipal officials are laughing themselves silly because THEY know that the UN runs things and they are fully protected from all crimes against the people if the public tries to use the Courts to stop them, not that the courts would stop them anyway.
A Toronto Star investigation published June 14, 2021 showed How the Ford government’s love of MZOs is increasingly benefiting private developers with ties to PC and local politicians and the Chinese Communists. As you learn here, MZOs have been a trump card for the Ford government, allowing them to bypass regular laws and by-laws.
On February 16, 2021, the National Observer published an exclusive regarding how Doug Ford donors benefit when fast-tracked developments override environmental and resident concerns. See a comprehensive, excellent report on MZO’s by Emily McIntosh, here. (The report is behind a paywall)
By the end of February 2021, the grass roots Stratford group had succeeded in having the glass plant scheme put on hold ‘indefinitely’, which usually means that they will wait until the organizers have dispersed and there is a crisis or holiday, such as Christmas when people are distracted, and they will pass the plans secretly.
It is unconscionable that the people of Ontario are having to be constantly at war with corporations that are supposed to be providing ‘services’ as the servant.
#14 Municipal Property Tax Assessment (MPAC)
The corrupt system of taxing property owners on the basis of the value of the property, instead of on the basis of the cost to the municipality of providing services to the property, is one of the finest criminal corporate schemes the UN has ever thought of. It’s really only 2nd in evilness to Municipal Planner army.
This scheme alone shows that municipal corporations are strictly for-profit operations and not service operations that are required to provide services to the public ‘at cost’.
Prior to 1990, every municipality had an in-house property assessor who knew the area and was familiar with the property values. It was very inexpensive in terms of establishing taxes in a cost-effective and efficient manner.
In 1990, Ontario passed the Assessment Act, RSO 1990 to establish a spanking new for-profit Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) with a huge bureaucracy of employees incentivized to assess property values as high as possible.
MPAC’s creativity when assessing properties is second to none, knowing that few owners could navigate the complex appeal process. One analyst found over-assessments in the amounts of 25-220% in one year alone. Totally unrestrained, assessors will even falsely classify a residential property as a commercial property, or a farm as ‘conservation land’.
After 1990, providing ‘assessor’ opinion of property values became the monopoly service of MPAC (an unregulated for-profit corporation). It takes a percentage (2.5% in 2021) of what property owners pay in taxes as a fee.
This corporation is dishonest, unethical, ruthless and is protected by the Assessment Review Board, which is a UN Tribunal run by corrupt lawyers.
This is a subject that affects every single property owner in Ontario and we believe that the ‘property value assessment corporations’ in other provinces operate exactly the same way.
Judging by the massive number of property owner complaints, it was clear by 2022, that MPAC was still doing its dirty work for the UN – otherwise it should have been dismantled 30 years ago, when even municipalities were fed up and wanted out of the system, to return to having their own property value assessors in-house.
MPAC is a spin-off of TERANET, the private for-profit corporation that stole the entire Ontario Land Management and Land Registry system in 1992, as explained in Series #2 PROPERTY THEFT that we will release soon.
While MPAC claims to source property values from public sources, such as real estate sales listings, in fact, its only source is from its parent, Teranet’s database, that is fraught with value corruption, mortgage fraud, title fraud, and schemes of all sorts.
Due to this fraud, real estate bubbles make regular appearances, driving up the ‘value’ of property and in turn, the tax bills.
The politicians of the day ensured that when all the fraud and theft of titles and property was eventually uncovered, nothing could be done about it. This they ensured by making all false and fraudulent documents electronically filed in Teranet, legal forever using the Electronic Act to undermine the Statute of Frauds and case law that for centuries has held that fraud vitiates (makes void) everything.
As an example of the consequences of the UN’s forcing the Electronic Act on us, forged and fraudulent documents cannot be removed from the title unless one gets a court order or the fraudster agrees.
In 2008-2010, all major banks were exposed training staff to forge client signatures on mortgage documents See here. Today thousands of property owners are fighting off the banks that try to foreclose.
This property taxation scheme centred on basing taxes on the market value of a property instead of the value of the services provided to the property is a massive subject, so we decided to devote a page for it. Please see our PROPERTY ASSESSMENT FRAUD Series that will be released soon.
#15 Refusal to provide public municipal insurance/bonding information
“As human population increases and mutual human tolerance decreases, municipal corporations tend to become less sensitive to individual needs and tend to become more antisocial towards the public.
It has been put crudely that municipal corporations become slaughterhouse operations with law enforcement officers running the sledgehammer department. Judges ignore the rights of the people and legislators generate heaps of laws, without perfecting the ones already existing to make them fit for bonding. Defective statutes and defective legal processes become an invitation for every sort of official malpractice and malfeasance including economic oppression.”
Please note that the article from which that quote was excerpted has since been censored, presumably because it explained the bonding process in terms of the Uniform Bonding Code.
There is little to no information on the insurance/bonding of Ontario municipal officials and all authoritative sources we have consulted state that indeed, every corporate government in the world is bound by this Uniform Bonding Code. It is beyond the scope of our present financial resources to dig into this ‘contradiction’, but the principles are the same: any corporation that is operating as a government must have insurance to protect those subjected to their regulations and actions.
An example of an Ontario municipality’s liability insurance policy is redacted, excerpted and provided in this Series #1 here.
You will note the specific exclusions from coverage for dishonesty, fraud, and pretty much all the activities that many Ontario municipalities have been engaging in against property owners for the past 20 years.
All non-criminal acts of an artificial person (legal entity) such as a corporation or municipal corporation, are included in three general classes of action, namely legislation, adjudication and execution; that is, the creation of policies or statues (legislation), the creation of processes designed to enforce the policies or statutes (jurisdiction), and the enforcement of the policies or statues by a mercenary agent, officer or officers of the corporation (execution).
Each individual act of a corporation involves their own separate liabilities, so that each act must be separately insured to the degree to which each act is separately probable to create a damage. Every general class of action is regulated by a set of insurance policies or bonds, the character of which is peculiar to that class of actions.
In plain language: Bonding/insurance principles and maxims
The purpose of bonding is to provide redress for accidental damage, and to prevent deliberate negligence (gross negligence), deliberate damage, and criminal malpractice, i.e., malfeasance.
Civil malpractice bonds are
designed to protect a corporation from its own officers.
designed to protect public from official accidental malpractice.
bonds against situations that might occur in statutory construction (legislative), in the enforcement process (judicative), or in the enforcement act of an enforcement officer (executive).
A misuse or misapplication of a statute or of a public office is deemed civil by a bonding company if it is accidental, and is deemed criminal by a bonding company if it is deliberate or the result of gross negligence.
It doesn’t seem accidental that municipalities are ignoring s. 17(1)(a) of the Municipal Act, 2001 that says they have no authority to IMPOSE taxes, and it is criminal that they then extort taxes using intimidation and threats of property tax sales to collect the very taxes they have no authority to collect. No one argues against businesses paying property taxes, but no one can justify private residences and farms being taxed.
A bonding company issues a bond on a statute or on an official process, act, or office only against accidental misuse or misapplication of the statute or official process, act, or office.
In reality a government rules first by force and only secondly by the consent of the people governed.
Municipal bonding is intended for accidental misuse of power: bonding is not intended to protect officials in the deliberate misuse of power, that is, the commission of criminal acts, they know or should know they are committing, such as signing Declarations of Office in a foreign government (UN World Government) as have done the Global Mayors, or doing endless warrantless searches and home invasions.
Many officials think that they can do wrong and hide behind the limited liability and the bond of the municipal corporation for which they work. They forget the real basis of their authority. The courts in Ontario also forget this principle and aid and abet municipalities to get away with criminality time and again.
But since 1985, the UN’s imposed laws ensure even if the domestic courts wanted to do their job, the UN laws are in force and they guarantee UN servants will face no investigation or prosecution.
Interestingly, but not surprisingly, it seems that some municipalities will refuse to provide a copy of the bonding policy, particularly if they are involved in litigation against a property owner they are victimizing.
As we noted, municipal corporations must carry hazard and liability insurance, and they have two options in Ontario for a provider of that insurance. OMEX and Intact Public Entities insurance.
Intact Public Entities (IPE) vs. OMEX
Intact Public Entities (IPE) is a commercial insurer (formerly Frank Cowan Co.), with insureds, not a reciprocal exchange. Intact Public Entities (IPE) is a subsidiary of Intact Financial Corp.
OMEX is a not-for-profit reciprocal exchange with “subscribers” and “principals” owned by Ontario municipalities. It pools premiums and covers claims/defence costs for members (municipalities).
No operational or ownership link exists between OMEX and IPE. They are separate entities serving the same market.
IPE has full authority to manage claims and defence under its policy with a municipality.
It seems that in Canada, except in cases where there is a conflict of interests between the municipality’s interests and the insurer’s interests, the insurer has to take over the legal defence of the municipality. The insurer’s claims handler makes all the decisions in the litigation, even if the insurer is not a party to the litigation. The insurer can keep claims in litigation for decades as a means of financially exhausting a property owner or resident.
About the conflicts of interest: the municipality is to act in good faith and follow the law and stay within their authority. The insurer’s interest is to pay NO claims, no matter how legitimate and meritorious. Isn’t this a gross conflict of interest…the insurer doesn’t want to pay out anything, but the municipality has a duty to settle meritorious claims, especially when crimes have been committed by officials under the colour of law? Yet, we have seen cases where it seems that the insurer gets to block all offers, ignore all evidence of municipal wrongdoing and is permitted to defend even those individuals who operated well above their authority, lied and misrepresented important facts, evidence and laws.
Limits of Insurer Power
An insurance claims handler is not a lawyer or public official. They cannot:
Order city staff to destroy property
Authorize illegal searches or home invasions
Block Freedom of Information requests (FOI)
Intact Public Entities or OMEX, as the insurer, has the legal right to control the defence of the City of Belleville in litigation, including hiring counsel and making strategic decisions—even if not a named party.
However, this control must be exercised in good faith and cannot override the City’s legal duties or authorize illegal acts (e.g., trespass, property destruction). But there is no liability against the insurer if the insurer continues to defend the municipality while the municipality openly continues to engage in wrong-doing.
Courts have affirmed insurer control (Brockton v. Frank Cowan Co., 2002), but also recognized conflicts of interest when the insurer’s financial interest clashes with the insured’s legal or ethical obligations.
The City may be liable for trespass, vandalism, and unlawful interference with one’s property, especially if:
No warrant or legal authority existed to enter property forcefully
Actions exceeded building code enforcement and or zoning authority powers
Damage was intentional or reckless.
Municipal insurer control over litigation Ontario: Conflict of Interest Concerns
In such cases, the insured (the City) may have grounds to take back control of the defence, especially if the insurer’s decisions risk legal or reputational harm, but it seems municipalities are not only quite content to protect those that did harm, but to continue harm and protection of those that do things such as trespass and ultra vires decisions.
An insurance claims handler is not a lawyer or public official. They cannot:
Order city staff to destroy property
Authorize illegal searches or home invasions
Block Freedom of Information requests (FOI)
If city officials are following the insurer’s instructions to engage in unlawful conduct, both the city and the insurer could face liability for torts (e.g., trespass, assault, abuse of power) and Charter breaches.
If the municipality is acting unilaterally in continuing the harm, then given all the evidence of wrongdoing and lawfare, the situation can indeed be extremely dangerous for the property owner/resident. But the insurer is permitted to continue to defend the city.
[We have seen records showing that Intact Public Entities in one Ontario case has in fact refused to settle a 15-year litigation in good faith despite reams of solid evidence of serious wrong-doing by city officials that continue today.]
Municipalities are therefore emboldened to keep harming the claimant until they drop the litigation either from psychological exhaustion or depletion of financial means to pay exorbitant legal fees. Few, if any, individuals have the resources and stamina to go against the deep pockets of court-protected municipalities and their insurers.
#16 Micro-gouging is a hidden tax: eg surcharge for paying by auto
Death by a thousand micro-gouges involves (a) punishing good behaviour such as making payments on time (yes, you read that right!) (b) encouraging government incompetency and laziness by charging us ‘service fees’ for handling our payments as a means of paying off their deficits, and (c) encouraging the government to impose thousands of ‘surcharges’ on absolutely everything and to increase those surcharges as they wish. This is happening at all government levels in Canada.
First they force you to pay by pre-authorized payment, then you are charged for the processing of the pre-authorized payment, even though it’s all done by computer.
MUST WATCH: Bake on Things news report: A pilot project has started in the City of Ottawa where every payment made will have an added $0.55 surcharge for paying by pre-authorized debit and credit. This amount is guaranteed to increase and it is being applied not just to pre-authorized payments.
Ottawa is the pilot project ... the testing of communist gouging strategies.
So, stop paying by pre-authorized payments. Canadians are being tested on -- by all level of governments -- and for many of us it is happening right under our collective noses. Silence is NOT golden.
Municipalities are Cesspools of Corruption, Malfeasance, Extortion
This document shows how Municipalities must have specific authority to do anything! This was confirmed by Loopstra Nixon LLP, Barristers & Solicitors in their discussion about Municipal Act By-Laws, because the courts have interpreted municipal powers to be “prescriptive” in nature.
That is, a specific statutory authority must be found before a municipality can act in a certain area.
But after some 88 amendments to the already extremely liberal Municipal Act, 2001, municipal powers wielded by private corporations known as public-private partnerships (PPPs), are ‘permissive’ in every way, including committing fraud and corruption.
No problem for these criminals – they just get their UN lawyers to write up whatever by-law or amendment to the Municipal Act they need to get away with violations of fundamental human and property rights. In other words, they give themselves permission to be lawless.
This need to cover their collective asses with ‘legislation’ has led to an incredible number of piecemeal amendments to the Municipal Act over time – 88 to date - as well as the enactment of a considerable amount of special legislation applicable only to certain municipalities that have requested it.
Those ‘picked’ men who carry out the Roman Catholic/UN/WEF orders to end free enterprise and property ownership are the very fascists running Canadian municipalities.
Until the Canadian public and particularly Ontarians truly understand that they are living an illusion if they think for one minute that ‘private property’ means they are sovereign on their own lands, they will be slapped silly in court.
Municipal corporations are for-profit criminal cartels operating under the color of law as criminal ‘neighborhoods’ where they make whatever rules they wish and enforce them through land theft (property taxes and tax sales). There is no recourse, just as there is no recourse when the Mafia or a gang takes over an inner-city neighborhood and the politicians and courts are in on the action.
Municipal Act, 2001 (Ontario)
Policy decisions
450. No proceeding based on negligence in connection with the exercise or no exercise of a discretionary power or the performance or non-performance of a discretionary function, if the action or inaction results from a policy decision of a municipality or local board made in a good faith exercise of the discretion, shall be commenced against,
(a) a municipality or local board;
(b) a member of a municipal councillor of a local board; or
(c) an officer, employee or agent of a municipality or local board.
**Note: you cannot sue the private corporation masquerading as government, nor the traitor Mayors who, once elected, become CEOs of the corporation masquerading as government.
You can in a Constitutional Republic, properly constituted, but that will be discussed on our SOLUTIONS page that will be released once we know that at least one million people know what we are sharing.
Most municipalities are listed on Dun & Bradstreet, under government, but we all know that corporations listed on the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC), and other securities databases are in the business of profit-making and not providing government service at cost as they are supposed to.

Municipal Lawlessness and Corruption
ESSENTIAL READING: ‘Have We Legalized Corruption?: The Impacts of Expanding Municipal Authority Without Safeguards in Toronto and Ontario’, here, is a 2016 Osgoode Hall Law paper by Stanley Makuch and Maathew Shuman.
Corporate Municipalities are 100% lawless and stealing properties by the millions, forcing the rightful owners into poverty and inability to financially keep up their properties. All Canadian corporate municipalities are owned and controlled by the UN.
This document was retrieved from the Internet Archives in January 2024. It explains the truly draconian Master Plan of the City of Ottawa that is being implemented without public awareness in all Canadian cities, starting with Ottawa.
As the document shows, the City was warned that implementing that Master Plan would destroy the City! The Master Plan was on the City of Ottawa’s website for about 1.5 years until October 2022 and once the public started to realize the draconian measures that were planned, it was taken down.
Please review Series #1 UN INVASION for more details. By 1994, the UN had distributed its UN Municipal Primer/Manual, 1994 to every municipality for implementation of its Agenda 21 and Agenda 2030 policies. The Primer/Manual directed municipalities on how to restructure the government to comply with world government requirements.
Even if there had been a valid Canadian Constitution – which there was not -- in every province the expansion of local discretion was a shift away from Rule of Law to ‘economic and political values’, with few if any, meaningful political controls or procedural safeguards remaining.
The result was an end to private property ownership and a return to the feudal system.
Where the court-imposed doctrine called ‘Dillon’s Rule’ was in place previous to the UN invasion and implementation of Agenda 21 in Ontario, which required municipalities to seek statutory authority for any action they intended to take BEFORE taking that action, the Rule suddenly evaporated after a single dissenting voice (Madame Justice McLachlin) in a case called Shell Canada Products Ltd v. Vancouver (City) (“Shell”).
Justice McLachlin, considered a major traitor by many people, stated in the Shell case, that courts should exercise restraint in reviewing the powers of Canadian municipalities. In other words, be more permissive of municipal overreach and criminality, and allow the wholesale abuse and theft of property from property owners.
Thanks to Supreme Court of Canada Madame Justice McLachlin’s dissenting comments in the Shell case, the corporate municipal governments refuse to obey superior domestic laws as previously required by the superior provincial statute called the Municipal Act, 2001 which reads as:
Conflict between by-law and statutes, etc.
14 (1) A by-law is without effect to the extent of any conflict with,
(a) a provincial or federal Act or a regulation made under such an Act; or
(b) an instrument of a legislative nature, including an order, licence or approval, made or issued under a provincial or federal Act or regulation.
And so, ignoring the other 8 Supreme Court of Canada justices who held firm to continue to exercise restraint on municipalities, the lower courts happily followed the only dissenting voice--Justice McLachlin--to play along with municipal bullies and criminals, unleashing a hell for property owners and municipal inhabitants alike.
And now we have municipalities across Canada ending the complaints system, so that taxpayers have NO recourse. In Ontario legislation had been passed to prevent Ontarians from suing the province for wrong-doing. Now the corrupt municipalities are preventing legal recourse. See the whole CBC report here.
Once the UN invaded Canada in 1992 thanks to the traitorous actions of former PM Brian Mulroney, it immediately implemented its Agenda 21 (includes the end of private property ownership) at the local level and this became the establishment of a Rule of Law that has amounted to full-on abuse of authority and corruption by municipalities.
Resulting from the UN’s control over the Canadian landmass through UN-appointed Lieutenant-Governors and high-level bureaucrats, as well as the foreign influence in Ontario elections, the UN effected changes in the way courts interpret the legislation governing municipalities and changes in provincial legislation.
This was the New World Government/UN plan all along…to take control at the local levels of all government decision-making in accordance with the UN’s Agenda 21 and now Agenda 2030.
Municipalities are now drunk on the power they acquired that permits them to operate contrary to the power granted to them by the province in the Municipal Act, 2001 and the Planning Act.
Municipal Act, 2001
ONTARIO REGULATION 584/06FEES AND CHARGES Planning applications
3. A municipality and a local board do not have power under the Act to impose fees or charges for the processing of applications made in respect of planning matters under the Planning Act.
**Note: this means that the millions of dollars municipalities have been charging residents for all planning-related applications, such as minor variances and severance applications, were illegally collected. (We previously covered this in Part 7 of our Municipal Fraud series.)
By 2022, it was easy to see from the many heart-breaking property owner victim stories, that municipalities and conservation authorities have so much discretion and power that they openly ignore provincial laws and engage in corruption and other abuses of power with impunity, knowing the courts are essentially in their back-pockets. This situation is nothing short of municipalities now operating as criminal cartels.
In this article by News Alert Niagara, we find 3 examples of horrific brutality unleashed by corporate municipalities intent on driving property owners off their properties. There are many thousands more, and probably hundreds of thousands more that we don’t yet hear about, if we were to consider the gross violations of human and property rights by Conservation Authorities alone.
As just one example of severe municipal corruption, we have the Ottawa Light Rail Transit construction.
The Ottawa Light Rail Transit (LRT) was predicted by most Ottawans to end up being a massive mix of corruption, malfeasance and outright fraud.
Sure enough, by 2024, it was still plagued by technical difficulties, often leaving commuters stranded. A scathing November 2022 report on Ottawa’s troubled LRT says councilors were deliberately misled by the city’s most senior manager during construction and the author questions whether the city is capable of managing large infrastructure projects.
The report by Justice William Hourigan found “persistent failures in leadership, partnership and communications” during construction and maintenance of the system. The report lists 103 recommendations to fix the problems with the LRT and to avoid issues during similar large infrastructure projects.
In our view, just not giving contracts to the criminal SNC Lavalin corporation would be a good start in preventing such catastrophes.
Of course, the Justice in his wisdom does not recommend what is desperately needed: criminal prosecutions complete with some nice long prison terms.
In a damning conclusion, Justice Hourigan singles out the City of Ottawa for “deliberate malfeasance’.
“While human errors are understandable and expected, deliberate malfeasance is unacceptable in a public project. When participants deliberately mislead the public regarding the status of a public undertaking, they violate a fundamental obligation that underlies all public endeavours”
~ Justice William Hourigan
As we can see, there is no redeeming value in having for-profit corporations masquerading as ‘government’. They will never ‘investigate’ themselves as they also own the Ottawa Police Servies (another corporation).
Until there is a meaningful criminal investigation and a fulsome prosecution of all involved in this LRT racket, municipalities — as does the federal government when caught in their various overlapping scandals — will be emboldened to continue the swindle of the public. We the public can do nothing about it because the style of government we have (corporatocracy) nurtures and protects criminals.
The Municipal Act, 2001 in Ontario, created a municipal corporation, yet, the most important provision of that legislation, s. 17(1)(a) regarding the specified lack of authority to impose property taxes on men and women, has no meaning whatever, resulting in Ontario municipalities even refusing to answer for their lack of authority to dispose of properties by illegal tax sales.
This plain and simple property theft and extortion, and those running these municipal corporations are long over-due for proper criminal prosecutions, which cannot happen in anything but a properly constituted Constitutional Republic that we discuss in our SOLUTIONS Series that will be released in a future Series.
As we showed in a Part 6 of this Series , the UN concept called ‘Official Plans’ has been weaponized by the UN’s Municipal Planners, particularly in Ontario.
Let’s look at one 2023 recent example:
Under the UN CITY STATE arrangement, Peterborough County holds planning responsibility for Douro-Dummer. They also hold the Chair position for the NGO named ‘Sustainable Peterborough’, which is partnered with the UN non-governmental organization, ICLEI.
No doubt by this point you can see that public-private partnerships (PPPs or P3s) proliferate more copiously than rabbits.
Back to Peterborough’s PPPs ruling the nest --
‘Official Plans’ concepts installed by UN Planner armies deployed in every Ontario municipality have been forced down the throats of residents by outsiders to the area, and worse, we have seen how municipal lawyers push Official Plans as ‘law’ in many court cases, when they are nothing of the sort.
An Official Plan for a community should depend on engagement by those who live and work in that area, not on the decisions of UN- shills parachuted into a community to destroy it using UN tactics such as Official Plans.
According to a report on the takeover of Peterborough [THIS IS NOW BEHIND A PAYWALL] and a small community called Douro-Dummer, an Official Plan was pushed through during COVID, in secret, with much of the growth data being skewed during the emergency measures. No one was permitted to ‘challenge’ the CITY Clerk on the manipulations and misrepresentations of the facts.
It gets worse as the report progresses: This is EXTREMELY common across Ontario – a Martina Chait-Hartwig (Acting Clerk and employee of the PPP) was not from the area, nor was she elected, yet she took on a pivotal role in decision-making for the Official Plan, with nearly zero community engagement (other than posting online).
Parachuting in corporate dogs to do the dirty work in a community or for a group, is a well-worn UN tactic. In fact, this was done to destroy the entire holistic treatment community in Ontario from 2007 to 2017, where lawyers disguised as ‘regulatory healthcare officials’ would impose and then enforce all sorts of absurd regulations and policies on frontline holistic practitioners.

In October 2025, Tiny Township’s less than 13,000 residents were fighting a completely lawless Township administration over it’s almost totally secret decision to build a massive luxury Administration building that was not needed whatsoever because the current building is more than adequate.
That entirely unnecessary building is going to cost those few taxpayers over $50 million until at least 2045 (20 years). Residents are outraged by a new, $28 million administration complex, which critics deem unwanted, unneeded, and too costly.
The groundbreaking ceremony for the facility took place October 17, 2025, and the residents and taxpayers were not only deprived of a vote, a referendum or a voice, but they could not even attend the ‘ceremony’. Only the mayor and members of council attended, claiming that it was safe for them, but not others to attend this ‘construction site’. Residents were informed they were persona non grata at the groundbreaking. Translation: only politicians, bureaucrats, and members of the media were invited – not the people who are footing the bill.
How do you all like communism so far, because this is it in spades? Follow the money, if they don’t first destroy the records.
Weaponized Municipal Complaints System
“Weaponizing the system.” That’s what we call it when someone places an anonymous call to a child abuse hotline to gain some personal advantage.
It’s also when municipalities use Property Standards Officers to raise revenue by targeting private properties and dictating to the rightful owners what they can do with their lands, gardens, out-buildings, porches and so on.
Property Standards Officers, to justify their ‘positions’ over property owners will often have ‘anonymous’ complainants make a complaint about a property, even if they don’t live in that neighborhood or the complained of grass cannot be seen from the street.
It doesn’t matter if the intrusions by the Property Standards Officer are justified or even legal, they will enter, destroy gardens and herb plots, steal building materials and or vehicles still valuable for their parts, and so on, using vague and unjustified by-laws. Steadily they impose their own personal preferences as to how a private property or home should be maintained and used.
When the property owner does not pay the exorbitant ‘clean up’ fees imposed by the city, the fees are attached to the tax bill, with interest.
In some cases, and we have the documentation regarding at least one, the Property Standards Officer hired a ‘contractor’ to remove brand new building materials from a back yard, had the city treasurer make the cheque out to an alleged ‘contractor’, but send the cheque to the Property Standards Officer!
In another case, because a man had some old cars in the back 40 acres for parts, a bill of over $60,000 was attached to his property tax roll for the ‘clean-up’.
Nothing can be done because there is no appeal process for property standard allegations, and any complaints about the process will result in even more ‘anonymous’ targeting of the property.
The destruction of society using anonymous complaint systems is heart-breaking in family situations.
It may be a parent in a nasty divorce situation trying to gain custody or more parenting time by making the other parent look bad. It could be a relative who disagrees with a parent’s decision on homeschooling, or vaccination, or any number of other parenting choices we all make every day. It could be an angry neighbor looking to get back at someone they feel has wronged them in some way.
Just place your anonymous call to the hotline, and watch the family suffer an intrusive, yet meaningless child welfare investigation, municipal planner invasion, building code inspection, or ‘clean-yards’ cleanup.
This happens far too often today, and it not only damages families, but causes untold distress to the property owners.
So, we’ve proposed a short model that provides a simple fix: stop anonymous reporting. Complainant identities can still be kept from the alleged abuser, to keep the caller safe from a truly violent individual. But the system itself needs to know who’s making the call. This will greatly cut down on false calls and will also allow the system to call a reporter back if they need new or corrected information.

Residential Rental Licencing Pilot Project – more over-reach and invasions of privacy
The City of Brampton and the City of Windsor, both in Ontario, have launched a new way of generating revenue by invading privacy and setting up a whole new bureaucracy to terrorize small landlords of 4 units or less.
In Windsor, the purported ‘pilot study’ began on February 13, 2023. This ‘study’ costs the property owner $300 or more per year PER UNIT , even though they didn’t ask for it and get no benefit whatever.
The program aims to ensure that small landlords are compliant with all applicable laws and regulations, that rental units are safe and habitable for tenants, and that vaguely-worded property standards are upheld.
It also serves as a critical mechanism to make sure that fire code requirements are implemented.
Properties ‘STUDIED’ are subject to random, warrantless inspections as well as escalating fines for repeat violations.
As you can see, this is another action to end private property rights, but also, all privacy on one’s own property.
Should a tenant rent a place and then decide they want upgrades for the same rent they agreed to, it will be forced on the landlord. The tenant and the profiteering corporation masquerading as the local government, will ambush and attack the property owner under one pretext or another.
The same ‘study’ started in Brampton, Ontario on January 1, 2024.
Individuals who own properties with one to four residential units are now required to secure a residential rental licence for each unit they rent or offer for rent. In other words, you cannot rent an apartment unless you get a $300 licence allowing you to do so!
We’ve never heard of a ‘study’ that required those ‘studied’ to pay for the study, without any choice in the matter…but here it is, in full bloom in Ontario, Canada.

Perhaps you have noticed: The small landlord is caught between a rock and a hard place -- damned if they do and damned if they don’t.
First the Vacancy Tax forces a landlord to rent vacant space and now the Residential Licencing Program will charge them if they do rent a space. Once the tenant demands upgrades, the Landlord Tenant Board will protect the Tenant, the small landlord will go bankrupt trying to please the tenant and will never have private and exclusive use of their home/property ever again.
CONCLUSIONS
Well, somebody should have told municipal councilors and their gang of merry criminals the following, but then again, they would have ignored this too because our domestic courts have been replaced by the UN Tribunals who operate under UN law and not Canadian law:
No public official is above the law S.C.R. 121 Roncarelli v. Duplessis, [1959] S.C.R. 121
Roncarelli v. Duplessis [1959] was a landmark constitutional decision of the Supreme Court of Canada where the Court held that Maurice Duplessis, then premier of Quebec, had overstepped his authority by revoking the liquor license of a Jehovah’s Witness and interfering with the lawful business.
Justice Ivan Rand wrote in his often-quoted reasons that the unwritten constitutional principle of the “rule of law” meant no public official was above the law and so could neither suspend nor dispense it. Although Duplessis had authority under the relevant legislation, his decision was not based on any factors related to the operation of the license but was made for unrelated reasons and so was held to be exercised arbitrarily and without good faith.[1]
Decision: The six judges who sided with Roncarelli used different legal reasoning to reach their decision. Three judges wrote that Duplessis had ordered the cancellation outside his authority as premier; two judges stated that although Duplessis had the power to order the cancellation, he had done so in bad faith; and the sixth judge concluded the premier was not entitled to immunity as a public official. Roncarelli’s son maintained it was a significant moral victory in his father’s struggle against the system.
The United Nations, a privately-owned foreign corporate state, has enslaved the Canadian population and extorted residents and property owners for profit through its control of our communist for-profit corporate municipalities by:
Passing by-laws that violate private property rights in violation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), and s. 26 of the Charter that purportedly guarantees both of those treaties as binding on all levels of government;
Passing by-laws that violate human rights and superior legislation, such as the provincial Health Care Consent Act, the Nuremberg Code, and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms;
Illegally imposing property taxes and hording billions of dollars in surplus;
Selling off Ontario lands to the Chinese Communist Party, our sworn enemy;
Using the provincial Planning Act and Official Plans to deprive private property owners of the exclusive use of their property in peace; and
Have entirely ignored all Supreme Court of Canada decisions and been supported in that action by the lower courts.
In accordance with the UN and Roman Catholic doctrines and policies, in Canada, it is not a sin, nor a crime to steal from private property owners, to trespass, to violate fundamental human rights, and or to violate privacy.
Municipalities use the courts as weapons against residents, run massive taxation and licencing rackets and do crime without consequence by writing themselves helpful ‘by-laws’ and ‘regulations’.
They operate their own ‘fiefdoms’ and are not accountable to the Provincial Ministry of Housing and Municipal Affairs, nor to the electorate, to the point where they run their own elections using foreign start-up IT corporations to run the electronic equipment.
Even Professors of Law in Ontario have written articles on the lawlessness of municipalities.
We did not come to this municipal enslavement overnight…it was a plan hatched and slowly carried out over centuries by the Roman Catholic Church posing as ‘Christian’, while killing off Christians by the millions.
See the RELIGION FRAUD Series to be released in a later Series for details, and learn how the Church’s many secret societies, such as the Freemason’s and Jesuits managed to enslave all by 2024, by clicking here for Professor Walter J. Vrieth’s awesome video explanation of the stealth take-over of the world by the Roman Catholic Church and it’s UN/WEF and other ‘groups’. Their plans is rooted in successfully capturing every municipality, or put another way, to invade and control at the local level first.
Elected officials and those running for office dupe the public, gaslight and use trick ‘language’ to avoid answering important questions, even at an inquiry of the Emergency Act about the abridgement of the fundamental rights of Canadians in 2022. If this is not fraud, collusion and act of bad faith, nothing is, but it does, certainly, leave no doubt as to what runs our municipalities.
To say that residents of UN-controlled municipalities are drowning in corruption and being devoured by swamp creatures lacking any semblance of ethics and morals would be a grave understatement.
On June 28, 2022, The Frontier Centre for Public Policy released its latest housing affordability rankings for the 46 largest cities in Canada. This report alone makes it clear that if they should not be removed despite the corruption and immorality, they must be removed forthwith for gross incompetence, willful blindness and treason.
In 2021, there were 25 “severely unaffordable” housing markets in Canada out of 46 communities. This is up from 18 severely unaffordable communities in 2019. There are only three “affordable” markets, which is down from eight in 2019.
As a result of this evidence, there is considerable concern about rising inequality in Canada’s urban communities. Housing affordability has been shown to be the principal driver of inequality, poverty and homelessness.
Wealth inequality can be expected to intensify so long as house prices continue to rise faster than incomes.
