Wolf Ruck of Mississauga was in the Ontario Court of Appeal today, arguing that Mississauga’s enforcement actions against his naturalized garden—including two complete mowings of his yard—were unjustified, arbitrary, and unfair under Administrative law.

LAWN RAGE III - The Morning After

Image
Click to view  |  Sign/Share the Petition  |  GoFundMe   |  Ruck v Mississauga The City of Mississauga’s targeting of my private property with repeated and escalating By-law 125-2017 Enforcement since 2021—particularly the latest Action on October 17, 2024—starkly reveals a pattern of ongoing harassment in violation of Procedural Fairness, Administrative Law, and Charter protections. Despite repeated appeals for due process and respect for his legal rights, the City’s decision-making authorities have chosen to proceed with Enforcement Actions in direct contravention of principles of natural justice and fair governance under Canadian Law. The Enforcement Action on October 17, 2024, epitomizes the City’s disregard for legal process and demonstrates its apparent intention to bully me into compliance at any cost, even while the case is under judicial review—a clear violation of DUE PROCESS under Canadian Law. This approach not only violates my Charter rights bu...

How Stephen Dasko Lost My Vote For Ward 1 Councillor, Let Alone for Mayor of Mississauga

As Mississaugans prepare to cast their ballots in tomorrow’s too-close-to-call Mayoral Election, here are some points to ponder: 1. In 2021, Councillor Dasko turned 180 degrees back on his 2018 pre-election promise to follow-through on a key element in the City of Mississauga’s Cycling Master Plan to install a CONNECTED, CONVENIENT, COMFORTABLE and SAFE Foot-Bike Bridge connecting SE Lakeview-Mississauga to Toronto’s spectacular Etobicoke Creek Trail – a project approved by a unanimous Council vote in 2018, financed and scheduled for construction in 2019. 2. While Councillor Dasko rightly criticized Doug Ford’s dictatorial “with the stroke of the pen” Ministerial Zoning Order (MZO) issued for developments planned and under construction in Lakeview-Mississauga, Stephen Dasko himself stopped the work-in-progress Orchard Heights Park Foot-Bike Bridge by a single email to Mississauga Parks Management Staff - a dictatorial move in all but name – which caters to a minority of Orchard Heights...
