I want to share the way municipalities  and townships operate and how much disregard they have for their constituents. This was my personal experience just recently. First off, I have lived in Bruce Mines and Plummer Additional for 71 years, I'm 77. I built 4 homes here myself, I employed local men and women in my business, I paid taxes here, never bothered anyone or caused any trouble plus I was never given any trouble- Until a couple weeks ago. Life here changed for the worse. I apologize for a long post, but I need to say my piece to anyone who cares to read it. Two weeks ago I was visited on a sunday yet by a new building official for Plummer Addtl township. He was very amiable and said he was here to make sure my build was safe, huh? I had taken or at least tried to take out a building permit before covid. Wendy at the township told me to forward the permit to the building inspector at that time because I didn't understand parts of it. I did and that was in august. never heard back from him for a year. The clerk was giving me a very hard time over a trailer I had on my property and wanted me to pay for a permit- thats another story. In the end I questioned them about why they wouldn't be more interested in helping me with my permit. two days later I get a call from the inspector, saying he tried to contact me but couldn't. Well, that was a lie, but ok, I still had issues over the permit unresolved. I might add that I come from a family of carpenters, brother, father, grandfather, I can build with confidence. Anyway Covid came along then and everything stopped. I was building a log home as I have in the past here. I had bought the logs, built my own mill and had half the logs machined, had my gravel pad all done, then I had no money when everything went crazy. I had always built my own trusses, stronger than engineered ones, but now they wanted the expensive crap. Well life was going downhill from that point. Divorce, job lost, and trying hard to survive on the old age pension and an old car ready for the scrap. Forward to that new inspector. I had made temporary housing for myself and wife and not to code, about 8 yrs ago. He told me more than once he was a good guy- okay, so-when he was leaving he told me he would  hold off as long as he could. His plan was for me to get out of my home and live - where, on the grass? in my car? Well thats bullshit! pure and simple. I don't have any money, can't build a house, and he was saying it was unsafe. I belong the the Ontario LandOwners association and they gave me a couple  No Trespassing signs specifically directed at gov employees as in the pic below. I showed him the sign and told him I would post it, which I did the next day. about 2 weeks go by and I came home to find he had trespassed the order and posted an unsafe building
