[All] Exploding house in area of previous infringements

[Ginny Quinn]

Lulu   I'm not as  up on  the infractions that you are.....but I will
suggest that your best contact is the FIRE   department...not the Police .
...because it was an EXPLOSION  that took place  and would be more in line
with the work of the  FIRE  Department.....and their  investigative division
...then they  would involve the POLICE    if    there was any suspicion   of
wrong doing.  TTYL    Ginny

Hi folks

 

Been busy today gathering all the old photos I took of oil spills and diesel
spills from the subdivision where that house blew up on Activa Avenue. 

 

I contacted the Waterloo Regional Police and provided them with the info in
the attachments. I basically told them that right now 

we have subdivisions being built without reasonable base line data. This
puts new communities at risk for sink holes, broken water mains, broken gas
lines, pot holes, floods,  structural integrity issues all because the
developers and their engineering firms wanted to undermined the true water
risks. They cut corners by doing shoddy work to get approvals and when they
work is proven insufficient at the OMB they simply ignore the rulings and
carry on. They don't care because the risks are eventually transferred to
home owners and to the to city who claims responsibility for the
infrastructure. In the end, it's taxpayers who foot the bill when things go
wrong. It's their lives at risk, their homes and water supplies at risk. 

 

Engineering firms do the science on behalf of a developer and when they sign
off, they are no longer liable for the work they do but once issues happen,
they are the first to profit from the shoddy data. They get the re-mediation
jobs to fix the mess and to clean up our wells. If there are well closures
they stand to profit from a Lake Erie Pipeline. What is to prevent
destruction for profit scenarios? 

 

I have informed the RCMP about all this but right now mandate is heavily
centred on issues of drugs rather than municipal fraud. I've also spoken
with Mike Amato at the York Regional Police who told me these issues are
happening across Ontario right now. Water infrastructure is one of the
largest sectors of construction corruption right now. I fear this is exactly
what we are experiencing in our region. We are the largest region in Canada
dependent on groundwater and we're building on top of it using shoddy data. 

 

I can't help but to wonder what roll this might have had in that home
explosion if any. 

 

I drove to the site today and that house was clearly on a hill slope that
appears to be an outwash moraine formed by glacial melt. If you do bore
holes it typically shows these area as being full of clay but it is a false
view. The sand and sediment on hill slopes like this fan out as the glacier
melted forming a shingle like distribution with many open spaces of
infiltration in between. Bore holes won't reveal this but the ground
penetrating radar will. I'd be willing to bet there was water under that
house. Just my two cent's worth.

 

Never the less if any folks would like to offer any tips to the police
regarding this case the person to contact is Constable Crook at
russel.crook at wrps.on.ca 

 

I can't help but to appreciate the duality his ironic name. Some folks hear
a name like that and think of a thief. I prefer to view it as the crook of a
shephard's staff. Designed to protect and guide. 

 

The way I see it, any chance to inform the police of the shenanigans of our
area developers is a good idea by hook or by Crook.
