Provincial Tories express anger over leadership KIM ZARZOUR kzarzour@yrmg.com Is the Ontario Progressive Conservative party imploding? With a strong lead in the polls, PC Leader Patrick Brown appeared to be cruising to an easy victory in the next provincial election. Now some say the party is in danger of collapse. Disgruntled and disillusioned PC supporters are reportedly dropping out in droves following months of allegations of improprieties, intimidation, ballotstuffing and fraud by Brown’s supporters during local votes to nominate PC candidates. Click the icons on the map below for more information and links to the background stories. PC Party president Rick Dykstra seems undeterred by the loss of supporters, saying the party has grown from 10,000 members to more than 100,000 in the past

MAKING A WILL WITH FISH & ASSOCIATES The Will Planning Process Many readers have contacted us to inquire The Wills Lawyers about the process involved in making a Will with our law firm. Firstly, we offer a free Will consultation for those who do not have a Will and are not sure where to start. We also offer a free Will review, if you have a Will and are not sure if it is up to date. If you wish to make a new Will, you can contact our office to set up an appointment. Generally, there will be two appointments necessary, one to discuss a Will plan tailored to your particular life situation and the second appointment will be a signing appointment where we will explain every clause of your Father & Daughter Team Will and if you are satisfied, you will sign in front of one of us and our legal assistant. Les & Michelle Kotzer When we refer to a Will tailored to your www.willappointment.com particular situation, that is important. Many people believe that there is one Will that fits all. This is not the case. Every life situation is different and requires its own unique plan. For example a couple in a first marriage with young children have different needs from the single person with no children. Similarly, a couple in a first marriage will often plan differently from a couple in a second marriage, where each spouse has children form a prior marriage or relationship. If you have a child or grandchild who is on the Ontario Disability Support Program, we will discuss the importance of setting up a “Henson Trust” in order to protect that child or grandchild’s government benefits. If that child is left your estate outright as opposed to by way of a Henson Trust, there is a probability that your child will be cut off government benefits. If you are excluding a child, your Will planning will be different from a parent who is including all of his or her children. If one or more of your sons or daughters are spendthrifts, your planning will often be different from parents who have children who are very responsible with money. For example, many parents will set up a trust in their Will for the child who cannot handle money so that the money is protected and managed by your executor, as opposed to an outright gift of money to your child which allows that child to take his or her inheritance and waste it. It is important to pay attention to the executors you appoint in your Will. For example, parents with one adult child may have different will planning needs from a parent with young children under the age of majority. The parents who have children under the age of majority will have to find a back up executor if both parents are deceased, to look after the estate and monies for those children. On the other hand, the parent with the adult child may likely appoint the adult child who may end up being the beneficiary of the entire estate. If you have three or more children, you may consider including a majority rule clause in your Will when it comes to appointing executors. That way two out of the three of your children can make a decision as executors, after you pass away. Alternately, you may decide not to appoint any of your children and instead appoint a neutral party. In our initial Will planning meeting, we will also discuss ways to minimize probate tax. We will discuss the implications of naming a beneficiary on your life insurance, TSFA and RRSP or RIF. You should also be aware that if you have married since your last Will, marriage revokes your Will. We also talk about the important family law clause. This clause protects your children’s inheritance in case they get separated or divorced after your death. Many Wills that we review do not have this important clause in them. This clause stops your son-in-law or daughter-in-law from benefiting from the inheritance your leave your children, in case they separate or divorce. In the initial Will planning meeting, we will discuss the importance of powers of attorney for financial and personal care matters. The financial power of attorney is one of the most important documents you will ever sign. This document stops the government from stepping in, in the event you are unable to manage your assets. The power of attorney allows the person you appoint, your spouse, your child etc. to manage your assets in the event you are unable to do so yourself. On the medical and personal care power of attorney, you will be appointing someone you trust, your spouse, your child etc. to look after you, in the event you are unable to make medical and personal care decisions yourself. Fish & Associates is located at 7951 Yonge Street ( Yonge St. south of Hwy 7) in a turn of the century home with plenty of free parking. Michelle Kotzer can be reached by email at mkotzer@fishlaw.ca or telephone at (905) 881-1500 ext.22 and Les Kotzer can be reached by email at les@leskotzer.com or telephone at (905) 881-1500 ext. 19.

two years since Brown became leader. "We are gaining new members daily and we will continue to work with all of our current members as well," Dykstra said. But longstanding, cardcarrying members of the party, expressing their disappointment and "disgust" with the party’s tactics under Brown, are vowing to withhold their votes or marshalling forces to defeat their leader. Several splinter parties and organizations have mobilized, hoping to derail the PCs in the next provincial election. Brown has said the controversy is evidence of the party’s strong momentum and, based on an internal memo obtained by Metroland, it appears he wants to "bring closure and move forward". In the memo, Dykstra announced that all 64 candidates selected to date would be endorsed by the leader and further appeals for reconsideration would be rendered moot. "Rather than constantly looking in the rear-view mirror, we simply need to move forward," he said. But not everyone is prepared to ignore the rear view, and the fallout continues among longtime members of the party. "We can honestly say that the environment now is as toxic and destructive as we ever have seen it," Tim Broschuk, president, Dr. Richard Bonato, VP, Carl Arsenault, CFO, and Vel Velauthanillai wrote in their letter of resignation from the executive of the Kanata Carleton riding association June 11.
Rob Beintema/Metroland
With a strong lead in the polls, PC Leader Patrick Brown appeared to be cruising to an easy victory in the next provincial election. Now some say the party is in danger of collapse. The executive quit en masse; the executive board of nearby riding of Ottawa West-Nepean executive board quit days later. "The party has veered so far from the place we joined that we can no longer in good conscience say that we identify with what it stands for." A similarly worded statement announced the mass resignation of the executive from the Newmarket-Aurora association, pointing to "blatant disregard for the democratic rights of the people". Marie Leone, VP of membership with the Aurora-Newmarket executive, said she and others
like her, who have supported the PC party for years, are stunned. "The party absolutely is imploding," she said. "I’ve never seen anything like this. There’s always internal scrapping, you expect that, but I don’t know about this blatant breaking of the rules...[Brown] can’t win at the rate he is going - he’s losing support of the people the party has always had." Newmarket resident Anne Leroux also believes the party is in danger of collapse. Leroux said she resigned from the AuroraNewmarket board and executive, after 12 years’ in-
volvement, because the party parachuted in a candidate from outside the community and cheated to let her win - after letting the local riding association "go through the agonizing process of door-knocking, signing up members, identifying a good person to spend time and money putting his name forward...That is just so wrong on so many levels". Leroux has joined the Trillium party, one of two splinter groups gaining strength from PCers that have abandoned ship. A new Facebook group, "GTAers Interested in Politics", has enlisted a graphic designer to create white-
board videos and is polling "concerned conservatives" to find out how to fix their party’s problem. Other groups are organizing spin-off parties - Ontario Blue - is reportedly making itself known in coming weeks and another fledgling party, Ontario Alliance, is currently seeking official party status. The Alliance was founded by Jay Tysick, a candidate in Carleton riding who says he was kicked out of the running by Brown after pointing out "shady business" in his local riding nomination. After he went public with what happened, Tysick says he was contacted by PCs from across the province with reports of rigged nominations and resignations. "I realized this was not just a local thing. I had become a lightning rod." Tysick decided they should band together and fight back with a party of their own. "If [Brown] is not going to address these very serious problems, if they’re already lying, cheating, corrupt, what will they do when they’re in government?" Other party supporters, like Bryan Moir, have decided to withhold their vote altogether. Moir says he is "technically" a board member of the King-Vaughan riding association, but admits he has disengaged after witnessing "huge irregularities" by Brown’s people in that riding and more than a dozen others. As bad as the Liberals may be, Moir said, he and others who formed the backbone of the party now believe they have nowhere
to go with their vote "So I’m sitting this one out. Even though we face some of the gravest fiscal challenges Ontario has ever seen, I can’t get off my ’old white man’s’ ass and get out the door for him." Moir warns that the party, which was on the verge of winning, is heading towards "a rupture more profound than people think". Carlos Naldinho agrees. The Ottawa man said he has been a member of the party since he was a teen and spent countless hours working for the party, from gruntwork to software assistance. "I’m as diehard as you can be." But now he has spearheaded a new group called ImOut.ca to encourage grassroots, card-carrying Conservatives - particularly those in ridings where nominations were considered "rigged" - to organize against their party by staying home on voting day. "This is our party and it was stolen from us for his own personal serfdom. That’s not what Conservatives are all about. We are about integrity. "If this problem isn’t avoided, if Brown gets elected, he will likely be in that position for four years and never get elected again, harming the party’s reputation for a long time to come." The I’m Out group hopes to help elect a minority government, which would prompt a leadership review and re-evaluation of the entire executive. "This will allow the party to remove the cancer that currently makes it impossible for any thinking conservative to support."

Training facility offers 1-stop-shop for police Two York Regional Police officers knocked on the door and identified themselves. Without a response, they carefully entered the home not sure what they were walking into as they responded to a report of a domestic incident. Slowly walking down the front hall, they were greeted with hostility from a male sitting on a couch. "Get out of my house! You can’t come in," the male screamed, hurling a beer bottle at the officers. "You don’t have a warrant, get out!" The male could not be calmed and the officers decided to deploy a Taser to incapacitate the man who had allegedly assaulted his wife who was hiding in the bathroom. This was the scenario at YRP’s $30.4-million training facility that just celebrated its grand opening in East Gwillimbury. Dignitaries and community members gathered to tour the 89,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility that features 10 classrooms, a simulation training room, practical skills training room, 50-metre firing range, police vehicle operations driving simulator, fitness rooms, lockers and a lunch room. The facility acts as a one-stoptraining-shop for 2,200 sworn and civilian members. The idea for the facility has been brewing since 2004 and will be the solution to outgrowing the Vaughan training facility at District 4. YRP will no longer have to use the Sharon Gun Club to train in the use of rifles now that the gun range is long enough to meet training standards nor the old school in Nobleton for tactical training, which can now be done in house. More than 70 training programs are offered and 250,000 training hours will be completed
tegrating knowledge and practical under the same roof," he added. "This facility becoming reality is a fine example of teamwork."

positioning while shooting. The driving simulator allows training officers to assess the basic ability of new recruits in handling vehicles. "Our motto is out think, not out drive, and this room allows us to give trainees the tools they need to do just that," Sgt. Ron Axamit said. "We can monitor their reactions to situations presented, eye movement to see if they are checking mirrors and more in simulations." The scenario room requires the use of critical decision-making skills. Training officers are given no more information than a 911 call would provide and are forced to make quick decisions as role players act out realistic situations. A house is built of panels including windows, doors and even a bathroom. It is equipped with foam furniture to ensure trainees are safe. "The simplest of tasks can become quite complex in stressful situations," Sgt. Jeff Nolan said. "We recreate those stressful situations so an officer’s recall is quick when it happens in real life."

ABOUT US
Speeding-related deaths on the rise For a few minutes on a Sunday afternoon in April, a stretch of Highway 400 in Barrie resembled a scene from one of the (seemingly endless) Fast and Furious movies. A dozen vehicles, including a Lamborghini, a RollsRoyce, a BMW and a Porsche, were reported speeding "erratically" and "dangerously" northbound toward the city. Fortunately, they sped right into a police blockade. Twelve people were charged with stunt driving, their vehicles impounded for a week, and their licences suspended for a week. Was that a one-off, unique circumstance? Hardly. Last winter, Toronto police caught a driver doing 203 km/h in a 60-km/h zone. In another incident, radar clocked a 22-year-old man doing 183 km/h on Highway 401. There have been about 110 stunt driving charges laid in Toronto so far in 2017. About 200 charges were laid in all of 2016. School crosswalks, construction zones, it doesn’t seem to matter when it comes to reckless, dangerous driving. And the tragic consequences are adding up. As of June 26, speeding has been linked with 30 road deaths on OPP-patrolled roads, compared to 17 by this time in 2016. The OPP cites speeding drivers as the No. 1 cause of road fatalities so far this year, with the death toll in this category up by 76 per cent. Of the speeding tickets handed out this year by the OPP, more than 1,400 charges were against drivers clocked at 50 km/h or more over the posted speed limit. "For some drivers, instances of speeding and other forms of aggressive driving are frequent and for others, they are part of their everyday driving behaviour, said OPP Deputy Commissioner Brad Blair in a media statement. Much like drunk driving, it seems that existing penalties simply aren’t stiff enough to amount to a deterrent. The maximum penalties for an aggressive driving conviction include a jail term of up to six months, fines of up to $10,000, and extended licence suspension. But, in non-tragic circumstances, are those penalties ever invoked? Would it make a difference if they were? Somewhere in between simply losing a car for a week and spending six months in jail, there must be a penalty severe enough to make people think twice before trying to emulate Hollywood stunt drivers on our roads. This deadly behaviour needs to be stopped before more people are killed.

Traffic safety, garbage of concern in Vaughan

The Vaughan area is no doubt very nice indeed for the residents and families with children. It has sidewalks, street names, trees, grass, parks, schools and almost everything that one would desire in his neighbourhood. However, two things which form part of a progressive community living are absent in Vaughan: there are no speed limit signs on its internal roads and there are no garbage cans for putting the street garbage. Often, after the weekly garbage collection, some of it is left behind its collectors which then loiters around the street, especially in windy days, with no one seemingly responsible for
makes them play in the area. With the cars flying on the streets at their own speeds and no signs to restrict them, the risk of a traffic accident on the street is way too high! Due to an ongoing building project on Coranto Way in Vaughan, the number of high speed lorries and construction vehicles on this street puts not only kids but everyone on the street prone to danger, especially when it is dark. I sincerely hope that the concerned authorities will take some actions at their earliest to help mitigate the risks of accidents and to give a cleaner look to Vaughan streets. Qaiser Naqvi Vaughan

Re: LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Free speech not a licence to spread falsehoods, July 6. It is alarming that some people in Canada are so eager and willing to limit the free speech of those whose ideas and opinions run counter to their own. Contrary to letter writer David Kempton’s assertion, free speech does give licence to individuals and the free press to say whatever they like, as long as it is not outside existing limitations; e.g. it is not libellous or hate speech. As support for his recommendation that YRMG "apply journalistic standards," Mr. Kempton has
apparently marshaled the facts on climate change and determined that anything that does not align with his appraisal falls into the realm of "misinformation," is "anecdotal" or is a "false claim" and, as such, constitutes "harmful speech." This hardly seems sufficient grounds for stifling the opinions of others. The Liberal is to be applauded for entertaining and publishing diverse opinions and allowing readers the freedom to judge for themselves the veracity and worth of the facts and points of view presented. Free speech in Canada is already compromised in a number of ways; we should all strive to protect this important cornerstone of our democracy from being eroded incrementally.
