The residents of the quaint rural community of Hillsdale are outraged, and so they have a right to be. Once again the OMB has come in on the side of the big developer. (and who is surprised at that)  The residents feel bullied by the developers after the fiasco in Barrie where the mighty Geranium Corp was going after residents for huge legal fees. The OMB seems to have a weird set of rules and no sense of fair play, which, comes as no surprise to anyone who has had any dealings with them.

Ontario is the only province in Canada to have an appointed board, whose only purpose would seem, to overturn decisions by elected officials in order that big developers may proceed without the blessing of the residents or majority of politicians.

Case after case, the OMB is just rolling along scorning taxpayers and elected representatives.  Will no one take a stand against this group of political appointees and shed some light on this travesty of justice?

Our politicians have sold out the people in this area when it came to protecting the drinking water. There is not a sane person who would, after reading the facts, could believe anyone could support site 41, and to heap more injustice on this rural community, now we are building over 400 homes in an area that is not suited for it and has no services for them, and no facilities to support them.  What do they expect this large influx of medium and low income housing families to do for entertainment? I might suggest they go to the local council meetings and hang out.  Perhaps they should also keep their eyes open for the “village idiot”, seems he has been seen sitting at the council table.
