Your Home Is Their Castle

Big Brother Makes His Move

We live in strange times with contrary leadership. Most of us pay our taxes, directly or indirectly, to our municipalities to maintain reasonable services so we can have the freedom to enjoy the privacy and protection of our property rights. Our military veterans fought and died to protect them. Some people want to take that away.
As if it wasn’t bad enough for the provincial liberals to invade our wallets continually with user fees, environmental fees and punishing taxes, now they want to allow strangers to invade our homes and some townships are actually helping them.
The township of Petawawa council is about to pass a bylaw that would allow municipal employees to enter our homes under the feeble excuse of “upholding employee’s right to do their job...” I’m sure most of the townships employees are honest and upright so this back-door bylaw complaint isn’t against them.
If you think this piece of legislation is going to be restricted to building and fire inspections you haven’t been paying attention to the direction of liberal politics these past years. Guess who’ll be coming next year to inspect your trees, water, pets and anything else they want to ‘regulate’
In Renfrew County we’ve been hammered continuously with business and property regulations by provincial dictators and this single piece of legislation, which opens the doors to all sorts of abuse, is another example of the tyrants of Toronto’s Queens Park liberal agenda. How any rural municipality could even consider it is very telling to which side of the tracks they stand. This isn’t about complying with provincial legislation. It’s about rolling over and playing dead instead of protecting our rural rights.
The municipal elections are coming up this October so it might be a good time now to find out, once and for all, where your own council plants its feet. Our municipalities need to stand together and send the message to Queens Park that This Land Is Our Land- Back Off Government.
