THE DEMOCRATIC REPORTER - section & Political, Democratic & Legal issues;
Here is the closet filled with skeletons, hidden from the light of day for far too long.  Political methods used to keep the public out of the loop.
Also lists the contact and help received from political parties.
Sorry the pages are still a bit of a mess but I will clean them up soon - May 2004.
 

ARCHIVES - A treasure trove of web-sites related to the content of this web-site.

UFMAC;
The Urban Forest Management Advisory Committee, is it a residents committee that will look out for interests? Or is this City created committee, only generating piles and piles of paper to hide the fact it is only a rubber stamp for the City's political agenda?

City of Mississauga By-Laws;
Important City policies like the VANDALISM AND VIOLENCE IN CITY FACILITIES.  A new legal system created in Mississauga and the rules to impose a dictatorship on, in our life time!!!!
 

Strategy & Tactics;
The most powerful weapons that politicians and bureaucrats use against you are FEAR, INTIMIDATION and of course, your own MISPLACED TRUST and IGNORANCE. But if you are willing to learn how to live and be effective in the real world, it is possible to learn how to disarm them, gain their respect and finally accomplish the goal.

Freedom of Information;
Freedom of Information (FOI), issues and how you can use this Act to know what government is really doing. It is here that Mississauga politicians are at their worst, in fact setting precedent to limit all Canadians human rights, just to keep their secrets and hide their political agendas.

Police issues;
Be aware of how they operate to avoid entrapment. In this section matters relating to how the Peel Police work with politicians to defame, slander and generally eliminate persons who are exercising their human and democratic rights. Details of how the police handle their complaint process to make sure Peel police officer are not held accountable by the public. How the police turn the Freedom of Information Act in the opposite (some good stuff here!). Finally OCCOPS the non-appealable joke that lets the police break the Police Services Act and etc. etc.

Ratepayers & Resident Groups;
What they are, who they are and what happens when they go bad.

The Players in this drama;
Often people read about the odd or unfortunate things our elected officials do, write it off to human error and forget it. Now you will have the chance to all these errors in one place and maybe you mite start to see a pattern to how the City does "business-as-usually."  ALSO City staff who are they and do they do to the public.
 

Lists of Elected Officals - over the years for;
 StreetsvilleTownship  of  Toronto Town of Mississauga City Of Mississauga
 

Unions in Mississauga of interest;
Canada Day at City Hall & a newly formed Union that the City is hostile towards.  The information hand out that was distributed, is it more factual then City Hall cares for? Also read about the City harasses them and their members!

ELECTIONS - VOTE 2000 - AND PAST ONES;
Yes it is election time and time to decide who gets to belly up to the pig trough.

Legal issues;
The Canadian Charter Rights and Freedoms & the public's right to access public lands.

Question and Answers;
E-mail me with your questions and if it is a good question, it and the answer will be posted.

Media;
Is it accurate reporting or is it a through the looking glass interpretation that makes it seem like we live in a magical kingdom. Where we are so well looked after by government, real involvement appears not to be required. A newspaper story can read like it makes sense and nothing is really out of the ordinary but those who are close to the events, often comment many key facts are left out, if the events are even covered. Have a read about what the news makes say about the news.

Sound Chip Gallery for the Cawthra Bush Web-site
Now all the sound clicks are one page and links to documents but not all that explain them.  You still have surf around a bit.

ROCKWOOD HOME OWNERS;
Their web-site   Residents who are losing millions because of the ILLEGAL operation of the Pearson airport's north/south runways - fight back!!

Do you want to report /complain about a too loud airplane flying over head???  For within 10 miles of the airport call (905) 676-453, the machine will tell you what to do.  Option 3 is for making a complain with no call back and option 4 is for call back.  It then goes on to ask questions.

The Wildlands League
Their web-site   The Wildlands League is currently locked in a battle with the Harris-ment government over Ontario's forests, "Lands for Life".  An issue everyone should be concerned about!  40 million hectares of public lands. To turn it over to business interests is to say good-bye to the greatest single treasure that should be protected for our children. (That is if we even care about their future.) Visit their site and get involved, it is now or never.

Two other web site dealing with the Lands for life issues and need the publics support to win a reasonable amount land set aside for future generations are;
