I’ve never really coeidsernd myself as someone who takes on’ anyone. I’m not in a hurry for bloodied noses and cracked crowns . But it’s true I have spent many years securing and enforcing the rights of those most needing of someone to step forth for no reason other than to simply balance the scales. I cannot stand an unbalanced scale, particularly where there is an imbalance of power without equal access to justice for all parties. My experience with Kitchener City Council has been favourable on each matter. They have always dealt fairly and in a timely manner regarding all matters I have put before them. My limited experience with the OMB was also favourable. I trust my experiences with the City of Cambridge will be no less.It’s also true that I spent five years working various matters on the Oak Ridges Moraine, though I don’t know that my case and that of Ms. Babcock ever crossed paths. It is likely, given the nature and extent of work I accomplished there, but I cannot confirm that.I want to clarify that my son’s dog did not kill another dog. There was a dog bite incident involving his dog and that of the neighbours, but the decision to put the dog down was entirely their own. We have not received on shred of evidence in support of any claim for the $1500 we have paid for vet bills, nor have we seen any evidence that there was not way to save the dog. We have only the word of the dog owners unfortunately have chosen to present themselves in a manner that simply dispels all trust.
