Quote of the day: “This is the last time the animals will see a truck.” The livestreamers protesting about the ostriches are unironically hilarious. I don’t think ostriches care whether it’s their last day seeing a truck.

I am now watching the amalgamated Lindsay/Cobourg bail court, where Bill will be appearing later today. Justice of the Peace Joni Glover presiding, which will make Bill very happy - she's his favourite (she approved his last wholly inadequate sureties).

As predicted, Bill and Steve believe that he was removed from the ballot because the city was afraid he was going to win (despite being ratioed into oblivion when they shared their propaganda in local fb groups). They are so delusional.
There is way too much here for me to copy and paste all the text. To sum up: An accusation that I am a whole team of people being paid by the city to sink Bill's election chances, even though I started the blog long before either election was even called. 

Accused are:
Roderick Benns (publisher of The Lindsay Advocate)
Joli Benns (Roderick's ex-wife)
Trevor Hutchison (writer at The Lindsay Advocate)
Kirk Winters (writer at The Lindsay Advocate)
Ron Taylor (CoKL CAO)
Kathleen Seymour Fagan (ex CoKL councilor and mayoral candidate)
Barbara Doyle (current provincial NDP candidate)
Patrick Porzuczek (admin of Save the Minden ER group)
Save Minden ER (a facebook group with many members)
Kerstin Kelly (ex Ontario Party candidate, not currently running)
Julia Taylor (business owner in Fenelon Falls)
Queer Girl (woman who used to be aligned with Bill but saw the light)
Susan Lough & Bob Southgate (Freedom people who don't like Bill)
Ken Downing (investigating officer in Bill's City Hall crimes)
Tom Hickey (retired City of Kawartha Lakes police officer)
Kent Saliwonchyk (Crown Attorney currently prosecuting Bill)
Angel Godsoe (ex Green party candidate and current Freedom numbskull)

Yes, he has randomly picked people from all parts of the political spectrum and accused them of working together to bring down a campaign that didn't exist when the blog started. ATTENTION
THEY'RE GETTING NERVOUS! 
UPDATE 2025.02.24
WARD 5 BY-ELECTION 
William Denby, who was scheduled to run in the Ward 5 By-Election, has been YANKED from the List of Candidates by City Clerk, Cathy Ritchie

Cathie Ritchie, City Clerk
City of Kawartha Lakes

Ritchie gave no notice or reason for removing Mr. Denby, but claims on the CKL website that she has the right to remove any candidate she chooses. Mr. Denby ran for mayor against Doug Elmslie in 2022 without issues.
Mr. Denby suggests that Ritchie is well known for having a drinking problem, and may have simply made a mistake during a stupor and he hopes that the error will soon be corrected.

Or, he says, the City has done their own advanced polling and has found that Denby is way ahead with an excellent chance of winning the seat, and fear that the expected landslide will exceed the capabilities of their election software.

Now the City must do everything they can to STOP him from becoming a Councillor and exposing the goings-on in City Hall. The easiest way to do it is by simply deleting his name in favour of their own hand-picked candidates who just take the money and keep their mouths shut.

Mr. Denby intends to have this matter corrected as soon as possible.

Mr. William J Denby, (705) 879-9758 BillDenby@OTPA.ca
3900 HWY 25 North, Cameron Falls (???), ON, Canada, Ontario (lol)

...nice address, Bill.

I'm still fact-checking Bill & Steve's video from Monday night. They say they've gotten a no-trespass order against the bylaw officer who issued fines to Steve after inspecting his property... Which means she can't attend his backyard as a party guest, but she can absolutely still inspect it.
Section 2 of the Trespass to Property Act R.S.O. 1990, Chapter T.21. 
Trespass an offence

2 (1) Every person who is not acting under a right or authority conferred by law and who,

(a) without the express permission of the occupier, the proof of which rests on the defendant,

(i) enters on premises when entry is prohibited under this Act, or

(ii) engages in an activity on premises when the activity is prohibited under this Act; or

(b) does not leave the premises immediately after he or she is directed to do so by the occupier of the premises or a person authorized by the occupier,

is guilty of an offence and on conviction is liable to a fine of not more than $10,000.  R.S.O. 1990, c. T.21, s. 2 (1); 2016, c. 8, Sched. 6, s. 1.
Section 435 of the Municipal Act, 2001, S.O. 2001, c25

Powers of Entry

Conditions governing powers of entry

435 (1) Unless otherwise provided in this Act, in an order under section 438 or in a warrant under section 439, the following conditions apply to the exercise of a power of entry of a municipality under this Act:

1. The power of entry shall be exercised by an employee, officer or agent of the municipality or a member of the police service of the municipality.

2. The person exercising the power must on request display or produce proper identification.

3. The person exercising the power may be accompanied by a person under his or her direction.
