This is no laughing matter! After almost 50 years in the condo business, my wife/business partner and I bought into a POTL (condo roadway with freehold Lots) in Oakville to enjoy out very well deserved retirement.
Now, as most of you that have followed my consumer protection in Condoland blog for 22 years now, I’m Condoland’s major “Whistle-blower” on corruption that historically has been the exclusive domain of condo developers and builders exploiting consumers.
I’ve admitted to being the guy that came up with most of the sales tactics and approaches still being exploited today. As time progressed, so did I, thus my penchant for consumer protection.
I disappointed to have to say this but Oakville has proven the absolute most corrupt experience that I’ve seen in all my years at the very heart of Condoland!
I’ve got a Mayor whom, despite my repeated invitations of my services without cost to fix what I saw as a rather small problem that the Town was facing at the time from this one long term Oakville resident, a lawyer known in the industry as a “Vexatious Litigant“, chose to actually conspire in a Plan to circumvent (“break“) Ontario law (“Condo Act“) by disregarding black letter law to deliver favourable treatment to one owner/shareholder in our independently formed condominium community.
I’m not randomly making accusations here. The Mayor’s conduct is clearly set out in my ebook “Justice Refused” and every Canadian owes it to yourself to get and read this staggeringly offensive book as it shows clearly, not only the dysfunction that has corrupted Condoland pretty much since its inception to this day, Justice Refused exposes a totally dysfunctional Ontario Court System, inept Deputy Crown Attorneys throwing out sound cases of criminal conduct while bragging about not having even read the Pleadings!
The Mayor and his Counsel (specifically Sean O’Mara who promised a thorough investigation but never even showed the courtesy of fulfilling his word let alone an investigation) simply turned their backs on their constituents and left them all hanging without even the respect of an answer to simpl.
You see any investigation would have not only have supported and proven my stated position in simply requesting a few simple answers to representations made by the Mayor and his Chief of Staff Mr. David Brennon, that to this day remain unanswered.
Oakville has set a resounding alarm that no consumer can afford to not heed by disregarding the requirement of fiduciary in fufilling its duty to tax payers to act honestly and in good faith.
Chapter #1 of Justice Refused is all any unbiased reader needs to read to realize that the crimes set out have been committed here and that the Mayor of Oakville was fully aware of the crisis this one small condo corporation of just 18 owners has endured for the past three (3) years with the evidence showing that the Mayor and Town Counsel have acted with full knowledge of the conduct of the perpetrators of what has proven itself to be a scam.
The evidence is so overwhelming that I have no alternative but to call for the resignation of the Mayor, who to this day refuses to answer for his conduct and assisted by his Counsel and staff has simply ignored repeated respectful requests for evidence to support what appears to be his involvement is very serious criminal conduct.
Justice Refused presents no fewer than eight (8) detailed emails dating back to November 2017 reporting the unethical if not criminal conduct of the Declarant for having withheld disclosure of the Subdivision Agreement from Purchasers to enable the Declarant to get away with “Occupancy” in contradiction of said Subdivision Agreement.
Declarants must request “Occupancy Permits” that originate and come from the Municipal Government thus there remains the unanswered question of “how the Declarant received Occupancy Permits without having met the conditions of the Town’s Subdivision Agreement (e.g. “fence around exterior of property”).
When I originally blogged about this I received the usual lawyer bully tactic (from Mr. Brennon, a lawyer now serving as Chief of Staff to the Mayor) of subtle and not-so-subtle threats of being sued for defamation. I told them that they’d have to “take a number” and then blew them off with my usual response to lawyers misrepresenting my blogs as defamatory.
Now, to be clear I’m not stating any first hand knowledge about any such “kick-backs”, but Mr. Brennon, the Mayor’s Chief of Staff confirmed to me that there was the allegation, as did the dissenting lawyer/owner making the allegation.
I is important to point out that the dissenting lawyer/owner was one of two (2) owners that did move in prior to the conditions in the Subdivision Agreement being met.
And in the end, after almost 3 full years of unbelievable harassment, intimidation, assault and repeated criminal conduct not to mention three (3) illegitimate board overthrown attempts to highjack control of the corporation’s board we see the sole benefactor of the illegitimate board President unethically and illegally go into our corporation’s sacred documents and “switch out pages” to remove our major asset (“Front Entrance Features”) that were to reside on easements on this dissenting owner’s Lot.
And Mayor Burton is seen at the very centre of this conspiracy to defraud the balance of owners in our community of our community’s major asset.
Chapter #1 of Justice Refused delivers all the necessary proof for any objective person to see that corruption has been doing well and fine in Oakville.
The Mayor and Town were the “Surety Holder” of $13,000 Surety that insured pre-sale buyers that they would be living in an upscale community that was book-cased behind two grand stone Entrance Features complementing the unique upscale collection of 18 prestigious stone homes.
The Mayor in my many emails (Nov 7, 2017, Dec 14, 2017, April 5, 2018, March 30, 2019, March 17, 2019, March 30, 2019, October 3, 2019, and October 16, 2019) was adequately informed of the illegitimate overthrow of our board of directors (that took 3 attempts showing the true majority of owners did not want to change the board of directors) replaced by an illegitimate board but is seen supporting their illegitimate efforts in flagrant disregard for the remaining owners/shareholders in our Private Corporation.
And it’s “the MATH” that proves the smoking gun here so you don’t have to rely on who’s credibility to trust.
Here’s the common sense: the time period between my August 30, 2019 email in response to receiving the unethical Property Manager’s email chain does NOT afford sufficient time for them to send out the two (2) required Notices notifying all owners of the Scheduled “Special Meeting” for Owners to vote on such a Resolution, and then to hold said “Special Meeting” under the Condo Act.
As one of eighteen owners, I did NOT receive the required First Notice, nor did I receive the required second Notice, and to my knowledge no such Special Meeting was ever held (and if I was not notified, then I was selectively excluded which is another violation under law). I have not been given any Minutes of such Meeting, yet Chapter #1 shows the fully executed Resolution dated September 2019.
You don’t have to buy the book to read Chapter #1 as it is FREE on the Apple Book Store (a state of the art, interactive ebook with all evidence attached within the narrative) but I invite you to buy a copy as the proceeds from sales is what will be used to fix this mess of not only Condoland, but systemic throughout the Province and Country. If you don’t have Apple computer, tablet or cell phone I’ve published a PDF version on simplycharles.com and you can also get a copy on Kindle and there’s even a paperback edition.
So, Please take the time to at least read Chapter #1 so, at least you become aware of the root problem (none of the crimes could or would have been committed without the active involvement and support of the Mayor, whom had he simply done his job, instead of actively working with the law breakers.
So, as a 50 year veteran of many Condoland wars I’m inviting all concerned and conscientious Canadians (starting with all caring Oakvillians) to stand up with me in the monumental fight to bring “Integrity” back into our communities and ways of life.
This opening Chapter delivers an irrefutable indictment against the Mayor and on behalf of my neighbours and all residents of Oakville, and Ontario as well as Canada I am challenging the Mayor and Town Counsel to explain their conduct shown in Justice Refused.
The questions are quite simple and straight forward and need to be answered. There is the appearance that the Town’s position is that civil litigation is the only means to having the Town answer for its conduct.
QUESTIONS:
- Why did the Mayor refuse to uphold his fiduciary responsibility as “Surety Holder” and have our Front Entrance Features installed as per the Disclosure Package?
- Why did the Mayor refuse to support our Board’s proposal to extend a smaller version of these Features onto Town land stating “it would be impossible to do so” BUT grant this dissenting owner an alleged “Special Exemption” to build two (2) cement walkways over that same Town land”?
- The Mayor’s Chief of Staff represented to our Board that “the Town had granted a Special Exemption to this Owner to build two (2) cement walkways on Town land”. I respectfully requested a copy of this alleged Exemption as well as the Minutes of the Meeting where this was allegedly passed but not given the courtesy of a reply.
- I am requesting a copy of the required two (2) “Legal Notices” and proof of delivery of them to all owners for the required “Special Meeting” and a copy of the Minutes of said alleged Meeting where the Owners are alleged to have voted on the September 30th, 2019 Resolution;
- I also would like the Mayor to answer “why he issued Occupancy Permits in contradiction of his own contracts (“Subdivision Agreement”);
You see, all the smoke and mirrors introduced into all the chaos that adorns the pages of Justice Refused simply boils down to basic”MATH” and, the math proves to be the ultimate smoking gun here as it simply does not add up.
Here’s the bottom line: the time period between my August 30, 2019 email in response to receiving the email chain does and the date of their executed Resolution of September 30, 2019 DOES NOT physically afford sufficient time for them to have sent out the two (2) required Notices notifying all owners of the Scheduled “Special Meeting” and then hold the meeting and vote on such a Resolution under the Condo Act.
My August 30th reply to their email chain shows clearly that I did NOT receive the required First Notice, nor did I receive the required second Notice, and to my knowledge, no such Special Meeting was ever held (and if I was not notified, then I was selectively excluded which is another violation under law). I have not been given any Minutes of such Meeting, yet Chapter #1 shows the fully executed Resolution dated September 2019.
This also proves that the Mayor et al were fully aware that the motion was opposed by owners.
This outcome is catagorically as result of an affront to existing law yet there is no-one left to turn to for protection, as every institution and body, alleged to be in place to protect the integrity of contracts and laws in Ontario, simply refuses to engage.
This is about as criminal as criminal conduct gets and no-one is there to protect the balance of the owners in this residential community.
The true Smoking Gun in all of this, over and above the Math Problem (above) is the fact that no-one other than this corrupt lawyer gained anything from this entire three (3) years of outright combat.
What this integrity-challenged lawyer has managed to achieve by manipulating the law, conning the courts, bullying and intimidating her neighbours and committing crimes (according to Ontario Criminal Statutes), all to simply fulfil her false illusion (bragging rights) of owning a Lakeshore Road home.
The only way this can be fixed is by us everyday people fixing it and all you have to do to play your roll is to get every Canadian you know to invest in a copy of Justice Refused.
This opening Chapter delivers an irrefutable indictment against the Mayor and on behalf of my neighbours and all residents of Oakville, and Ontario as well as Canada I am challenging the Mayor and Town Counsel to explain their conduct shown in Justice Refused.
I’m being cast as the bad guy for simply, respectfully asking questions that all Oakville constituents are entitled to answers to.
All we’ve gotten to date, is the cold shoulder!
