All Inclusive
Dear Mayor Patrick Therrien,
Please find attached respectfully.
I truly hope a genuine priority pursuit of a Tri-partite Plus initiative untoward the RM of Springfield's water concerns now and into the future are not neglected. To any who have reached out to me, all have expressed, if achievable at the right deal it is a monumental no brainer.
It has been my privilege to bring this to the attention of council and the community at large.
As you expressed in the Baptist Basement, "not a problem".
In advance I truly hope it works out well, go slow as this will be dramatically different than any roadside stop with huge repercussions.
I believe you would agree Pat that it would be more noble to pursue prosperity, avoid debt and strive to reduce tax's.
Best regards,
IGWT
Edwin Giesbrecht
I find it coincidentally interesting that 50% of the directors for this so-called non-profit vision are actually Elected RM Councilors, and one, has more recently resigned. Further one councilor is not only a director but sits as an
officer of the organization.
For this non-profit organization to have councilors in
controlling positions of the non-profit while also being the councilors that
are voting on the funding of the non-profit, imposing increased taxes upon the
RM as whole raises certain conflict of interest questions to say the least.
Again as in all non-profits generally administration
receives consideration for their positions and/or works, meaning is council
double dipping as well?
Edwin Giesbrecht.
I first became aware of a most egregious situation here in
the municipality October 17, 2022 where the matter was placed on the agenda for
October 18 2022. This matter was in
regards to a report from the head of the works and operations for the
municipality Mr. Wells October 6, 2022, and coincidentally around seven working
days before the general election for the municipality of Springfield.
This issue revolves around named cordite pit, a municipal
gravel pit where Glacial Aggregate if held a short term lease with the
municipality which had not been too unusual through the past few decades,
however now with the Glacial having expiring within 14 months in 2023 their
lease on that particular pit majestically a proposal for preeminent renewal of
the cordite pit and also attached additionally a newly was to be the hillside
pit. These two gravel pits of municipal
aggregate, public reserve or proposed to extend to a 10 year lease.
Having extensive background including commercial industrial
and investment real estate this lease was red flag on all corners. Further the coincidence to my platform of
having all of our municipal aggregate reserves placed into a municipal crown
corporation to be public to work for the benefit of all 16,000 plus residents
that residential base was being undermined and subverted by this last minute
attempt, a coup d’état of an estimated net return a profit in the neighborhood
of 30 to 40,000,000 dollars over the course of 10 years to our residents and
benefit of their children and children’s children, could not sit idle with this
mayoral candidate.
October 18, 2022 after having reached out to other
candidates in running for the current election some indeed showed for this
agenda. Further there were also some
private concerned citizens that also attended.
I wish to give thanks to candidates Vince and Andy whom joined in
solidarity with me and formally objected to this agenda. I wish also to thank fellow mayoral candidate
Mr. Patrick Thiessen for having presented for an informational thing, falling
short of registering his objection. The
fact that he did not register his objection was disappointing. To the private citizenry who expressed their
points such was dearly appreciated including of objection untoward there being
no tender process.
It should also be noted in audio snippet number 2 that Mayor
Fell finally answers the question by admitting no “tender” by her answer of
negotiated lease.
As the first and most aggressive and an outspoken speaker
this matter, and the most outspoken objector in the interests of all our
residents what you’re about to hear as my emphatic position expressed to
council this regard. Before you hear
this it should be noted that through such emphatic fact and force council
became split 2 to 2, Fell & Ralkie voted to ram the lease through and Bredin
& Fuhl voted to defer. The matter
has been deferred forward to the next council after election; remember this
clearly when you vote October 26, 2022 this corruption must come to an end.
The entire audio these regards can be reviewed on the RM
website providing they have not removed that meeting audio.

October 28, 2022, I walked into the Anola community club
vestibule with intent on speaking to a manipulative attempt by the Springfield
municipal administration to change or override what they say is an existing
by-law. This to accommodate SIO sands
silica corporation head office Calgary.
As corporations go the typically ruthless agenda is to achieve their
goal. In this matter the goal is to
literally tear the lung out of mother earth, the very water lung that provides
pristine water and filtration to tens of thousands of Manitoba residents bridging
numerous authorities and numerous jurisdictions, not just the R.M. of
Springfield.
So it is that the manipulation is to try and amend the
zoning on a particular by-law that which the authorities seem to be ignorant
that that law has yet to be brought into law.
What that means in order to try and accommodate a corrupt corporate
expedition of self interest that the authorities are willing to bend over
backwards to give some sort of perceived of legal premise in which to allow the
industrialist and slurry mining operation to be made real and whole as to the
rule of law, moral and ethic by amending a law that which does not exist.
There is this one problem, the by-law they’re trying to
amend has not even been sworn into law, it is not even passed third reading,
and so in their cart before the horse they are literally having panels of
lawyers, planners and government officials trying to negotiate an amendment to
a law that does not even exist.
The arguments are to moving on the current of rural zoning
by-law, however this presents real issue to intelligentsia in that the current
by-law they refer to is attached to the previous development plan, the previous
development plan is a contract between the municipality and the province and so
it is to see the overall zoning by-law particular to that contract. Now they argue given to a new development
plan signed February 5, 2019, and given it has been over three years eight
months there are manipulations of hearings and readings and approvals and
amendments zoning in order to accommodate developers industrialist and
corporations, to this the fact remains that the new development plan or
contract has not been completed due to
no overall zoning update attachment, if it’s not completed and it is
incomplete, this means that the new development plan is without an overall
zoning by-law and has been for three years and eight months plus. If the overall zoning by-law has not been
brought up to speed and assigned to the new development plan you have a big
issue because anything under any zoning by-law has had no zoning by-law in
which to offer aid under. This means
that all is perfunctory or illegitimate.
What this truly means is SIO sands needs to go back to the drawing board
and make every application under a new hearing once we have an overall zoning
by-law that is legitimate to the current development plan. The authorities are desperately trying to
cover this up in order to pull the wool over tens of thousands of Manitoba’s eyes.
These are the desperations, the deceit, and the inane insult
with lack of true science in order to try and fast track a money project that
is yet even to be truly actuated of its real benefits.
To this end the video that you are about to see is as was
been presented in front of panel of solicitors, planners, provincial and
municipal authorities as well as Manitoba Municipal Board agents of the
province. Such assembly, all in order to
place estoppels on the general public’s will to protect their subsistence to
life. They say there focusing on a
miniscule directive, however what they are failing to say is that they have
been hired to try and justify a breach of trust so heinous and so egregious and
so illegitimate that they seem to go to any means in order to quash the
inevitable of uprising for breach of trust.
This breach of trust carries with it prison terms and the
people affected need know this now, so as to have legitimate retributive upon
all individuals, each and every one that breathes the same air as you and
drinks the same hydrogen and oxygen that is necessary for life.
First of a last word by the chair refers to a baseball
analogy, to which my perception is of a dog, a wonderful purebred Lassie of a
dog I grew up with that no matter to throw a baseball, hit it with a bat or
hide the ball, he without fail used all his senses to bring the ball back and
drop at his masters feet, every time.
This seems to be the status quo of the MMB ruling in my witness 100%
usually back into the favor of the authority and not to the flip flopped
appellant trying to defend it-self of initial action.
Second commentary to mind is of the 3 years and 8 month
delay by the R.M. of Springfield to draft the overall by-law to affix to the
development plan and make all whole and current. To that end the chair felt it not
unreasonable to take time to create a by-law and would have been unreasonable
to have had a moratorium on all applications until completion of by-law. To this bear in mind that on the operational
by-law to create the entire governance of our municipal authority is only given
30 days from swearing in after election, that an over-all by-law is reasonable
to still not be after 3 years and 8 months.
You be the judge.
