The joke is, you can build…

The joke is, you can build surveys but a farmer can’t cut trees down without being attacked, charged and destroyed by an over reaching tree bylaw and it’s unelected officials. A bylaw officer who doesn’t even swear an oath to serve, protect and uphold the laws. The municipality’s have placed a head tax (or tree, per tree head tax)
A farmer whose pasture land that unfortunately had the bad luck of growing to many trees of any size looses this prim productive farm land unless they pay a fee.
This is enabled because the Ontario municipal act says they can interpret the act any way they wish and it has allowed them to find a cash cow at the expense to agriculture and land owners. These lands are with crown land patents that gives the rights to natural resources and trees. A municipality unelected official’s talk the council into expropriating these rights without compensation.
The province double, triple standards to push developments and destroy a farmer and landowners at the expense of feeding the people.
If your going to let developers run rampant and municipalities to steel, you should at least address this theft of property and destruction of prime agricultural land and set rules, laws and conditions a tree bylaw on agricultural land and private resources. FAIR IS FAIR
