Question of worth of this burnt trailer

On the Rogers First Local news, it was reported that this fire has caused $50,000 to $60,000 damage.  I have in my possession a copy of the mortgage where Gebasco Management Services Limited sold that trailer along with three other trailers dated the first of December 1991 to Deca Investors Ltd.  It would be quite interesting to point out the total for the four trailers compares to the quoted value as reported today.  This mortgage was paid off seemingly January 4, 2006 and I believe that I have the cheque # that was used to pay the final payment.

Thank You Rogers First Local

Thank you for reporting the story of the fire.  Finally there is a news story outlining what might have caused the fire and it is apparently an unattended space heater.

The person or persons who have been speculating that I may have caused the fire, should know that there is NO POSSIBLE way for me to have started a fire that has been attributed to a space heater.  Video surveillance has been saved to a remote location with an image of yourself pointing your finger at me.  I trust that your threats were truly idle threats and that these images will not need be delivered to the police, as instructions have been issued in case of my disappearance.

The whole intention of this blog has been to inform and persuade people to begin accepting responsibility for there own actions and there own shortcomings.

It appears that our politicians are not adequately prepared

Originally when this blog was created, I asked if the residents of 1010 Dundas were being adequately served.  Possibly some of the reason for our complaints seeming to be falling on deaf ears can be understood by the following quote from an email that I tried sending out this morning.

Blame for this fire does not reside on my shoulders

As much as some people might be uncomfortable with having to bring themselves to within code, I am not responsible for this fire.  The violations of code that I have highlighted on this blog, have been pointed out in an attempt to PREVENT this kind of situation.  One resident has already been screaming at me after this fire.

When the power was interrupted around midnight and a resident could not breathe because her oxygen machine was not receiving power, it was me that she called.  I have a generator and got emergency power to her so that she could breathe and not have to vacate her home as she had to in December when the power went out then.  So on one hand, I am somewhat of a hero and on another hand someone is yelling at me about the matters that affect all the residents of 1010 Dundas and their safety.

No ONE can be prepared for every emergency but anyone can have a preparedness plan.  The matters that have been pointed out on this blog, have been pointed out so that they can be properly addressed to prevent having to use my own emergency preparedness plan.  This park REQUIRES an emergency preparedness plan and needs to begin addressing matters that are pointed out to prevent needing to apply an emergency preparedness plan.  It appears though that it is easier to simply point the blame at myself rather than take the responsibility to actually address the issues that affect all the residents of 1010 Dundas.

Fire Department Shuts Down Hwy #2

Fire erupted in a trailer at 1010 Dundas St. E. at approximately 03:40.  Hwy #2 wound up shut down.  This fire was in a trailer that has been previously posted about on this blog and been reported for inconsistencies with codes that I as an individual have become aware of.  Luckily we have a tenant who is an extremely light sleeper who woke up and called emergency services in.

Why Are We Being Threatened With Hydro Disconnection?

167.  (1)  If the Board finds that a capital expenditure is for infrastructure work required to be carried out by the Government of Canada or Ontario or a municipality or an agency of any of them, despite subsection 126 (11), the Board may determine the number of years over which the rent increase justified by that capital expenditure may be taken. 2006, c. 17, s. 167 (1).
Definition
(2)  In this section,
“infrastructure work” means work with respect to roads, water supply, fuel, sewage disposal, drainage, electrical systems and other prescribed services and things provided to the mobile home park. 2006, c. 17, s. 167 (2).

 Clearly indicates that 2074359 Ontario Ltd could INCREASE our rent by applying to the tribunal about this section of the landlord and tenant act.  2074359 Ontario Ltd should just perform the required work to bring their property to code and it would be a business write off, and they could jack every ones rent after applying to the tribunal.

But No, the tenants must suffer with the harassment of all these various notices about our hydro being disconnected.
