Police bust Hamilton crime group tied to Gambino family in New York

The Toronto Star is reporting that "The RCMP and FBI have made a string of arrests involving fentanyl trafficking by a long-established Hamilton crime group and the Gambino organized family of New York." Wow, the Hamilton crime group would be the Calabrians who were warring with the Rizzutos in Montreal. The article names Domenic and Giuseppe Violi who we have already talked about previously. Interesting. The Quebec Hells Angels who kicked the Ontario Nomads ass for dealing with the Hamilton Calabrians dealt with the Rizzutos in Montreal.

Eulogy for John Davidson

The police just had a procession along the 401 freeway Higway of Heros for the slain police officer. I didn't see a hearse otherwise I would have pulled over out of respect. Evidently the officer rushed in without waiting for back up when he heard shots fired because he wanted to reduce the likelihood of civilian casualties. That was indeed heroic.

Some might argue that it was a rookie mistake not to wait for back up but I beg to differ. When someone has a gun and they are shooting it, every second you hesitate could mean more lives lost. He did the heroic thing. Greater love hath no man than this.

This life is a test. John Davidson passed with flying colours. The hillbilly who shot him failed miserably. Some will argue that cops are assholes. Many are. This one wasn't. You got the wrong one. Murder is never something to celebrate. Murder represents separating yourself from normal people in the eternities. Hell isn't a place where God punishes us forever saying I told you so. Just like the Chinese painting declares, heaven and hell is what we make it.

If we lie, cheat and steal we will live with people just like us. Likewise, if we are honorable and trustworthy, we will be with people just like us. There is no L&R in gang life. Gang life is all about murder to get gain. It is filled with betrayal. There is no honour in it. Yet this murder wasn't even tied to gang activity. It was totally senseless. It was over a stolen car.

They say circumstances dont make the man, they reveal him to himself and to the rest of the world. John Davidson's true character has been revealed. He will be honoured throughout eternity. The hillbilly who shot him will not be hailed as a cop killer. He will be remembered as a complete idiot. A total loser. Someone who robbed a family from a good husband, father and son. When this life is over he will experience their pain. For murder there is no justice in this life. Justice comes in the life hereafter where families are reunited with loved ones.

Some people ask why does God let good people suffer? The answer is twofold - free agency and exaltation. In this life we are all free to choose but we are not free to avoid the consequences of our choices. God cannot put us in prison for wanting to commit murder. He can only do so if we actually do commit murder. Those who commit murder will be separated from the public permanently. Those who are murdered unjustly will be exalted. In this life it doesn't make sense. It only makes sense in the life hereafter. We have just witnessed a scene from the movie Gladiator in real life. John Davidson was a soldier of Rome. Honor him. The Last Post.

Kelowna medicinal grow tied to the Hells Angels

Castanet is reporting that "RCMP in Kelowna have shut down a medical marijuana operation in the city. Working on a tip from police in Nova Scotia, local RCMP raided a property in the Paret Road area of Kelowna Nov. 1. While the property was a licensed marijuana grow operation, police say the drugs were being used for monetary gain by the licence holder, and not exclusively for personal consumption. Police say the drug was allegedly being harvested and sold to members of the Hells Angels."

This comes as no surprise. It would be hard to find a grow op in Kelowna that wasn't run by the Hells Angels. The tip had to come in from Nova Scotia because the compromised BC Gang Task force doesn't charge Hells Angels any more. What was David Giles famous statement on culpability again? David Giles was caught on wire stating that not all members of the Hells Angels are involved in criminal activity but anyone who uses the name of the club for criminal activity must have that activity approved by the local executive.

Abbotsford police officer killed in shootout - Update

The Peacearch News is reporting that "Abbotsford Police have confirmed that one officer died and one is injured following a shooting this afternoon in the area of Mt. Lehman Road and Fraser Highway. The incident began at about noon at a strip mall north of Highstreet Shopping Centre."

One witness "said the suspect’s vehicle slammed into the back of the car behind her. She then saw police officers converge and, she says, they began to shoot at the suspect’s car. As she laid down in her car, Dauncey heard rounds of gunshots."

This is unprecedented. Gang members here always shoot each other not at the police. Likewise, I've never heard of the police opening fire on a vehicle in the middle of traffic. Something just isn't right. Tragic an officer lost his life over it. It's fortunate civilians weren't killed in all that confusion.

Global is reporting that a witness claims the suspect had a rifle. The picture shows it.



The Vancouver Province is reporting the timetable of events:

"Monday’s incident started with a call to police at 11:35 a.m. about a possible stolen vehicle in the parking lot of a strip mall in the 3200-block Mount Lehman Road. The vehicle, a 2016 Ford Mustang, had been stolen from the nearby MSA Ford dealership on Saturday during a test drive. The car was spotted by dealership employees, who contacted police and boxed the car in as they waited for police. The driver returned to the car carrying a shotgun and began shooting at the employees and bystanders."

"Less than 20 minutes after the first call to police, several 911 calls poured in reporting shots fired. Police arrived and exchanged gunfire with the man, and Davidson was shot. He was taken to hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival. The suspect was pursued by police and arrested after a collision at the intersection of Mt. Lehman Road and Fraser Highway. The man, in his mid 60s, was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and remains in custody." Absolutely bizarre. All over a stolen car. Tragic.

Obviously there are good cops and bad cops just like everywhere else. By the sounds of it, this was a good cop who cared. The bottom line is that he did die protecting the public.

Eulogy for John Davidson

Communist China invades Metro Vancouver's gas pumps

We've all noticed the unexplained spike in gas prices at the pump in metro Vancouver. I'll tell you what it's about. It represents the destruction of the free market and the domination of a corporate monopoly that Stephen Harper sold to Communist China. Since there is no free market the corporate monopoly can charge whatever it wants.

Since that corporate monopoly is owned by Communist China, every time we get gouged at the pumps we are financially supporting the torture and murder of political prisoners as well as the military expansion of a Communist dictatorship. It's time to nationalize our oil in British Columbia and Alberta. That is the logical conclusion. That way consumers would get price controls and the Canadian private contractors would make more money instead of having all the profits from our resources be exported out of country. It's working in Norway.

The Assassin's Creed

I saw the Assassin's Creed movie on Netflix last night. It was pretty good. I think in real life the Templars were good guys. The Davinci Code ran some interesting theories. The Holy Grail was allegorical. It wasn't a cup in the movie, it was a person. Likewise I think in this movie the apple of Eden was also allegorical. The bad guys wanted to destroy free will while the assassins rose up to protect it. It is the Assassin's Creed or code of honour that I would like to address.





They say there is no honour among thieves. Perhaps that is true, but there used to be. Ralph Natale had honour. The new kids on the block do not. Which brings us to the red and white.

Christmas eve 1995. The Hells Angels hired a hitman to kill a police informant and his wife. The hitman brought Christmas gifts from the boys. The wife didn't want to let him in but he said we can't leave the Christmas gifts outside in the rain. The Christmas gifts from the boys was gasoline for the hitman to burn the house down after he killed them. Not only that, but he was instructed to kill his co accused right after they killed the family of the police informant. No L&R there.

Calgary murders continue - Update

The Calgary Sun is reporting that "Police had their hands full Friday night and Saturday morning as they investigated two deaths in the city." Friday night's homicide was the result of a stabbing.

Global is reporting that on Saturday "the body of a man was found in a vehicle in the back alley in the 0-100-block of Ranchero Rise northwest, just after 4 p.m." I have the name of the victim but will not release it until the family has been notified. Local sources claim he was a member of the Independent Soldiers. Calgary police seem reluctant to name gang affiliations.

Last Saturday Mvemba Eriq Afonso was shot dead. CBC is reporting that "Two men are under arrest in Montreal for a murder (last) Saturday in southeast Calgary. Mourad Gasmi, 21, and Shannoh Jabet, 22, both of Calgary, have been arrested on warrants for the second-degree murder of Mvemba Eriq Alfonso. Alfonso, who also went by the last name Mvemba, was shot to death early Saturday morning in the southeast community of Dover. He was 23."

The Calgary Herald is reporting that Shannoh Jabet, one of the two suspects arrested for shooting Mvemba Eriq Afonso last Saturday, received a four-year sentence for his role in the 2014 death of Calgary man Devon Goot. Devon was beaten to death in a targeted attack which police state was over a long standing dispute.

Roland Chin, another Hells Angels associate from Calgary was shot dead in Abbotsford last July. Roland was with the FOB who were supplied by the IS in Calgary. I'm told the FK still exist in Calgary while the FOB and the IS are starting to dwindle.

Update: CBC is confirming the name of the victim is Olara Obina and is reporting that "The only thing bigger than his smile was his heart." Very sad.

GSP chokes out Michael Bisping in historic comeback

The Guardian is reporting that "Georges St-Pierre returned from a four-year layoff and peered through the river of blood that flowed down his face to choke out Michael Bisping and win the middleweight championship at UFC 217 on Saturday night." GSP rocks.

Dealers target treatment centres

CTV is reporting that the mother of an overdose victim claims dealers are stalking treatment centres. Her son died of a fentanyl overdose while in treatment. She is absolutely right. Most treatment centres in Surrey are flop houses for addicts to use drugs.

Guilty plea in Bob Green's murder

BC Local News is reporting that "The Langley man who killed a Hells Angel gang member last year has pleaded guilty to manslaughter in Surrey Provincial Court. Jason Francis Wallace was arrested days after the Oct. 16, 2016 death of Robert Keith Green, who was found dying on a property in the 23700 block of 72nd Avenue on a Sunday morning. Green was a longtime member of the Hells Angels."

"Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) announced in a statement on the guilty plea that there are links between the Green murder and the death and dismemberment of Shaun Allan Clary, which took place on Oct. 24, 2016. Clary, 27, was found dumped on the side of Robertson Crescent in rural Langley. He and Wallace both reportedly had ties to the Aldergrove-based 856 Gang." Shaun wasn't a member. He might have owed them money.

Jason turned himself in the day after he shot Bob Green knowing he'd be dead if he didn't. Bob was shot October 16th. Shaun Clary's body was found Oct 24th. Shaun was from Guildford.

Jason Wallace was busted with Len Peltier for drugs and obviously didn't want to take the fall for Lenny like everyone else keeps doing so he shot the puppet master dead. It's too bad he got the wrong guy. Bob Green was well liked. Lenny is not despite the fact that someone else has been reassigned to Lenny in Bob 's place and the weasel is still working for the club in the Yukon.

"Postmedia reported at the time that Clary was an 856 associate and that his murder was believed to be in retaliation for the death of Green, a member of the Mission City chapter of the notorious biker gang." That is utterly ridiculous. That is what the police told Kim and shows once again that gang enforcement in BC isn't just compromised, it's completely f*cked.

This is what happens when the police put people like Blaze and Len Peltier on their payroll - their intel is false. They tell us what the gangs want us to believe because they think we are stupid. Evidently we are. Clary's murder was not in retaliation for Bob Green's murder.

Metro Vancouver has arrived at the place LA was back in the /80's when Freeway Ricky was selling crack for Blandon. The police here are not trying to stop drug trafficking they are trying to be able to seize the proceeds is crime so they can take a cut in exchange for letting it continue.

10 year after the Surrey Six and nothing has changed. IHITit is still sleeping with witnesses. Only now they are sharing the same crew hoe with the cub pack completely compromising all of their intel. Natural justice is simple. Since the teletubbies and the cub pack are sharing the same crew hoe, that means they are sharing the same STDs. Good luck with that.

2 Hells Angels from Nova Scotia and Ontario busted for drug trafficking

The Toronto Star is reporting that "Police say two Hells Angels members from Nova Scotia and Ontario face drug trafficking and other charges after a nine-month investigation. RCMP say Mark David Heickert — a full-patch gang member of the Oshawa Hells Angels — was arrested at a home in Orillia, Ont., without incident. The 48-year-old man is charged with conspiracy to traffic in cocaine and conspiracy to possess proceeds of crime. Paul Francis Monahan of Halifax, 61, is charged with several counts including trafficking in marijuana and conspiracy to traffic cocaine."

CBC is reporting that police seized two kilos of cocaine and that the Halifax man was a associate of the New Brunswick Nomads while the Ontario Village Idiot was a full patch Hells Angel from the Oshawa chapter. Unike BC, Nova Scotia and Ontario are confronting OMGs that sell drugs. In Surrey they provide them police protection.

Hells Angels associate Sean Heickert was found guilty of the November 2007 murder of Bekim Zeneli which set off the Winnipeg gang war. Bekim Zeneli was the leader of a Hells Angels puppet club called LHS - Loyalty Hounour Silence. Heickert owed Zeneli $3,000 at the time of his death. So Sean killed the associate to avoid having to pay him the money he owed him. Who's the rat now? James Heickert, A full-patch member of the Oshawa Hells Angels plead guilty to plotting to murder his own brother Sean Heickert over drug trafficking turf. Sounds like a dysfunctional family to me. Ontario Village Idiots alright.

Human remains found on Salmon Arm Farm Identified

News 1130 is reporting that "RCMP have identified the remains found on a large piece of farm land near Salmon Arm as those of 18-year-old Traci Genereaux. Police say no charges have been laid in connection with her death, which is being treated as suspicious."

Traci was getting her life together right before she was killed. Kinda like Britney Irving. Peace.

All of the five missing women in that area were involved in the sex trade. Locals are all familiar with the testimony of the neighbors. The question we need to probe is whether or not this was a sick individual who liked to kill sex trade workers or was he told which sex trade workers to target for drug debts? That is the real question that needs to be examined.

Guy Fawkes Night - November 5th

We don't celebrate Guy Fawkes Night in Canada, we celebrate Halloween. In England they don't really celebrate Halloween like we do here. They celebrate Guy Fawkes Night which is five days later. Remember, remember the fifth of November so goes the British rhyme.

The original Guy Fawkes was caught trying to blow up the British parliament building in 1605. He was hanged for treason so every year they make an effigy of Guy Fawkes and burn him on Bonfire night. If you're in England you have to see Guy Fawkes night in Lewes. It is wild. When I was working in London over 25 years ago some friends took me down and I was astounded. You have to see it to believe it. Remember, remember the fifth of November.

The modern Guy Fawkes isn't quite the same villain the traditional one was. The modern Guy Fawkes is taken from the Movie V for Vendetta. That Guy Fawkes was a champion of justice against Corporate brainwashing. The group Anonymous organizes a million mask march in London on November 5th. Tragically Anarchist agent provocateurs are trying to destroy it.

Happy Halloween!

Have fun, be safe. It's all about the kids yo.

Surrey Shooting Victim Identified

The Peacearch News is reporting that "Police have identified the victim of a deadly double shooting Friday night in Surrey. Vancouver’s Randeep Kang, 27, was killed just before 9 p.m. in the 11300-block of Alpen Place, Surrey RCMP say. Two men were found with gunshot wounds. Kang was pronounced dead at the scene and the second victim was taken to hospital. Police say Kang was known to them and was “associated to gang activity.” Investigators believe Kang’s murder was targeted and linked to other gang violence in the Lower Mainland."

Curtis Sliwa in the News

Speaking of Curtis Sliwa, I see that he is in the news again. Catching up on some of the other recent news about Curtis has been quite shocking indeed. I think it would be prudent to address the matter before the trolls do.

The New York Daily News is reporting that "Cops arrested radio talk show host and Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa early Tuesday outside Mayor de Blasio’s Upper East Side home."

"Sliwa, 63, appeared at Gracie Mansion on East End Ave. near E. 88th St. at about 8:25 a.m. to serve de Blasio with a lawsuit aimed at getting him off the Working Families Party line and ended up in handcuffs just after 8 a.m. Sliwa’s girlfriend Nancy Regula, 35, said the complaint had to be personally served on the mayor. The lawsuit also targets Public Advocate Letitia James and city Controller Scott Stringer."

For those of us who know Curtis, there is nothing surprising in any of that. Like I said, if you think I'm crazy wait until you meet Curtis. Curtis posted a video of the arrest and refers to himself as the Reform Party Chairman. Now that is interesting. The previous news reports are a bit shocking and require comment for clarification.

The other news reports refer to Mary Sliwa as his ex. That's news to me. I am sorry to hear about the breakdown of that relationship. I never met Mary and I will never trash the mother of his children. I kind of related better to Lisa than Mary. Lisa was a front line street soldier. Mary was an ivory tower businesswoman. Mary did great things financially for the group. She organized galas with the Mayor that raised a lot of money. Evidently times have changed.

We've come full circle. The Rock is back in the hood fighting with the Mayor just like back in the day with former Mayor Ed Koch. Now that's what I'm talking about. It just might be worth another trip out to the Big Apple. I'm sorry to hear abut Fran's passing. She was a wonderful person.

One time Curtis said Mary implied that I was stupid. In all fairness, given the context of the situation she did have a point. Curts came to Vancouver 10 years ago and asked me to come out of retirement to help David Toner restart a chapter of the Guardian Angels in Vancouver. I agreed. I didn't want to do it all myself and was more than willing to help David because he was competent and genuine.

I ended up getting involved in helping a few friends from Telus fight the offshore call centres in their labour dispute. The Union became very political and divided. I took the members on the front line's side. One crazed troll from the Union that sued the members started stalking me.

Curtis called me up one day in a frenzy ranting about her. I shrugged it off and said just ignore her, she's crazy. He agreed but said she went to the National website and is phoning up every chapter leader in the world slandering me. Evidently she was upset when I got fed up with her and told her to f off and get a life. Curtis was livid. He didn't want to have to waste any more time doing damage control talking about it with every chapter leader in the world. I understood his concerns. I did not realize she was doing that. Curtis said the woman was obviously crazy and told me not to even speak with her. He claimed Mary said what is he stupid? Evidently I was.

The other news about Curtis' divorce gets bat sh*t crazy. Everyone says their ex is a liar. The New York Post reported that the court threw out Mary's million dollar law suit against Curtis back in 2014. I am indeed sorry to hear it has come to that. I am gong to step in as the Canadian negotiator and say can't we all just get along?

I knew Curtis 30 years ago. Back then we were rocking the world doing what others said could not be done. I haven't always agreed with everything Curtis has said and done but I have always known Curtis was sincere and genuine as he has with me.

Last year the New York Post reported that Curtis planned to run against the woman he moved in with after his divorce from Mary when that relationship also broke down. Curtis was likely joking about that. I don't see Curtis running for anything that has to do with the Democratic Party.

In 2015 the New York Daily News reported that "Curtis Sliwa has been suspended indefinitely from his gig on NY1 after his lewd rants about City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito. The outspoken Guardian Angels leader said “I’m your papi” in reference to Mark-Viverito on the NY1 show last week. After she slammed him on Twitter, he doubled down with a barrage of sexual comments, saying he thought about having sex with her and finds her extraordinarily hot.”

Although that is certainly not something I would say, I think we need to put the comments in perspective to fully understand them. Without trying to be disrespectful, if you take a look at her picture, Curtis was obviously being sarcastic.

Curtis is very outspoken and controversial. I do not believe Curtis hates women. I think Curtis hates having to walk on eggshells when debating anything. Curtis doesn't hold back. He always says it like it is. With all this Harvey Wallbanger news some feel we are becoming a bit over sensitive when it comes to political correctness.

I am not going to minimize the multitude of allegations against Harvey Weinstein. Rape is heinous. I do think that some of those woman hopped into bed with him to advance their careers. Likely many were exploited. That is clearly wrong and is a matter before the courts. Personally, I believe in respectful communication. I believe women should be cherished not belittled or degraded. Yet sometimes we do get carried away with obsessing over political correctness.

Curtis Sliwa is cut from a different cloth and although some of his recent statements make us wonder if he has lost his mind, I will simply point out that there is always a method to his madness. As controversial as he is, he means well and has done things others said could not be done. I'm not a cat guy myself but whatever turns your crank yo. Peace.

Spotlight on Norway

When I used to live in Ireland I had a friend who was from Norway. He had served in the military and said he was born with skis on his feet. Coming from Canada, I respected that.

We don't live in igloos in Canada and run around on dog sleds. Vancouver is quite mild like Seattle. We get lots of rain and if we are lucky, we get a lot of snow in the mountains not the city. We like to hike, bike, run, kayak, sail, ski and snowshoe. We love the outdoors. Most of us.

Norway strikes me as a place I'd like to visit but I can tell you right now if I went all the way to Norway, I wouldn't be spending all my time in the bar. I might stop at a pub for a pint but I would want to see Norway not the inside of a bar. Norway has a lot of amazing hikes.

Norway also has some amazing skiing and snowshoeing. Now that's what I'm talking about. They even have a snow hotel complete with ice beds. That might be a bit extreme for some but the bottom line is that there is lots to see and do there.



Which brings us to the recent news of the Rock Machine in Norway disbanding and joining up with the No Surrender MC. It's none of my business and I'm certainly not going to disrespect any of them especially since Michael has friends in both groups. Personally, I will never wear a patch and I will never call myself a 1%er. Not to say that I would never ride with or be friends with anyone who does. I'm just saying I am different and I prefer to stay that way.

When I reported on the Mongols opening up a chapter in Vancouver, one person commented and said we'll see how long they last. That is fair comment. A lot of these fly by night crews change their colors faster than they change their underwear. The Mongols are a bit different. They are much more established and are huge in California. However, BC is not Cali and whether or not locals here have the fortitude to live up to the Mongols reputation in California has yet to be seen.

When I first started my blog I had two founding premises. The first was that the Hells Angels were a criminal organization. The second was like unto it, that the CIA was also a criminal organization. In the process of time I have amended my first premise. Although I am concerned with organized crime, I am even more concerned with civl liberty. Confronting organized crime while protecting civl liberty goes hand in hand. The US government's attempt to seize the Mongols patch is a real concern for anyone who loves liberty.

I don't like drug dealers. Especially those that exploit the homeless and brutalize sex trade workers. The Hells Angels said, we don't sell drugs. My response is then we dont have a problem. Yet some members do. Now we have a problem.

What consenting adults do behind closed doors is none of my business. The keywords there are consenting adults. Drugs in clubs or for those who want it and can afford it does not concern me. Human trafficking is not consensual. It is brutal exploitation. I have no problem with living the dream. I have a problem with pimping the dream. Using the movement to bully and exploit others. That is not what it's all about. The movie Easy Rider was about living the dream. You dont need a patch on your back to do that. You certainly don't need to sell drugs to do that either.

I don't want to see a war between the Mongols and the Hells Angels any more than I want to see a war between the Rock Machine and the No Surrender MC or the Bandidos. No one does. It's not that I'm afraid of war, it just that I believe war needs to have a purpose. If it's not the right cause, it's just not worth it. In LA the Crips and the Bloods used to fight each other bitterly simply because they each wore a different colour and the rest of us thought it was kind of dumb.

Years ago, in Florida two rival gangs were fighting over the right to sell drugs during a specific time slot on a specific street corner. A little girl was cut in half from automatic weapon cross fire. Curtis Sliwa led a protest march carrying a mock coffin. He wrote the little girl's name on the street corner and the words never again. The Guardian Angels then led the community in a crackdown on crack campaign which was very successful. People had enough of the violence and wanted things to change. Fighting a war over what colour you wear is dumb. Fighting a war over a monopoly on the drug trade is evil. There is no honour in it. The public will not tolerate it.

Rock Machine Norway has Disbanded

This comes as a bit of a shock. TBM Scandinavia is reporting that as of October 26th 2017, the Rock Machine Norway has officially disbanded. ABC Nyheter is confirming the action.

ABC Nyheter reported that members of RM Norway had been charged with drug and weapons offenses as well as a murder. The drug bust was 30 kilos of Hash. Two members have been charged in the murder of someone who was in conflict with the club. It wasn't one of their own.

TBM Scandinavia has addressed the rumours of RM Norway joining up with the No Surrender MC which has now opened up in Norway. TBM's International Spokesperson Michael Green was in Holland this week for the launch of No Surrender MC's new book. Spotlight on Norway.

Elderly shooting at Ontario Hospital

The Canadian Press is reporting that "A place intended for healing became a scene of violence and trauma when two rounds of gunfire erupted in a southern Ontario hospital, killing an elderly married couple and leaving other patients fearing for their lives."

SIU spokesman Jason Gennaro said a 70-year-old man and 76-year-old woman, who were married to each other and lived within an hour of Cobourg, were both admitted to txhe hospital's emergency room late Friday night with unknown ailments. Around 11 p.m., Gennaro said police were called to the scene after receiving reports that shots had been fired in the triage room where both the man and the woman were lying side by side on gurneys.

One patient spoke to other patients who she said told her the man had shot the woman in the head. The Toronto Star is reporting that the police shot the man after he shot his wife in the head at the Northumberland Hills Hospital.

Surrey Mayor Misrepresents the Whole Story

The Save Hawthorne Park Facebook Group shared this letter to Surrey Council from local resident Richard Landale: The article from Mayor Hepner is not only “Missed-Information” it conveys an inaccurate City Master Plan for Hawthorne Rotary Park.

The City gave three readings to Bylaw 19337 on July 24th to remove 6 reserved lots within Hawthorne Park, because under the Community Charter Chapter 26 section 86, the City can only remove reserved property from Parks by Referendum.

To ensure the City’s Master Plan succeeds, the City in its usual Herculean and Draconian manner, set the bar so high that to defeat the City’s Master Plan, some 30,372 Electors must file their objections by 4:00 pm September 22 2017, or by assent (acquiescence) the City can proceed with the Bylaw and their destructive plans for Hawthorne Rotary Park.

Further the Mayor does not mention the Master Plan encompasses the relocation of all the underground services along 104 Avenue through the Wetlands in Hawthorne Park, meaning the destruction of the Wetlands and the source of the Bon Accord Creek.

Further the Mayor does not mention the urgency to push their Master Plan forward, as the relocation of these underground services is because of the LRT between Guildford to Newton runs along 104 Avenue.

Further the Mayor does not mention the millions of dollars the Federal Government is offering to upgrade the Water Mains to the Whalley Reservoir Park (adjourning Hawthorne Park) as part of an overall GVRD Master Plan, these Federal dollars must “be spent” by December 31st 2017.

The Mayor did not discuss the Traffic Volumes projected to swamp the proposed 105 Avenue Connector as it passes through Hawthorne Rotary Park (they have not any volume projections).

The Mayor did not mention the increased Air Pollution these vehicles will impact Hawthorne Park and the immediate residents on the East and West sides of Hawthorne Park.

The Mayor did not mention this Master Plan is in direct conflict with the Official Community Plan Ecosystems and Biodiversity Policies, and the preservation of dedicated and reserved Parks.

I guess the Mayor forgot !

Respectfully,

Richard Landale

Taxpayers should stand up for SkyTrain, not LRT, in Surrey
