 | Well its almost the Holly Jolly shopping time,
This email isn't my typical email saying go to my site. First its to
wish all of you Happy and safe holiday's
Second, I would like you to forward this email on to any and all
sailor's or boaters you may know.
For those of you who didn't know, I have for some time been
challenging the Hamilton Port Authority on its conduct, their un-fair
business practices and anti-competition behaviour will and has been
affecting the industry, that is to say in Hamilton there is no
competition , the port Authority won't allow it, for some you would
say "so what" well aside from limiting were and how much you will
spend, telling you what you can and can't do on your and my public
port
What may make matter worse is that The Hamilton Port Authority could
very well take over the Ontario lake area, When you run into problems
with them, don't bother complaining because they are there own
government.
A fellow boater wrote:
This isn't just something that impacts boaters, it's a template
becoming all to common around Ontario giving supreme authority to very
select groups of individuals. It's a practice that violates the very
fundamentals of democracy. Societal interests are bypassed to
accommodate political favourites emplaced by appointment and
accountability becoming a thing of the past
On February 25th, 2005 I am in court with the port over my right to
enter their controlled lands like the Harbour or the marina, they
simple don't want my kind there, and that makes me fighting mad, a
charter challenge for sure!! a law suit? maybe ...but changes at the
port are going to come with your help, so I guess I'm looking for
support, be it by forwarding this email on, sending your comments, or
hey I wouldn't mind the company on the 25th in Hamilton court..
As a boater my right to access our water ways is top of my list, you
might want to make it yours as well.
Also for those of you who want to read more of this topic, you can
pick up Decembers issue of GAM
MAGAZINE Canada's oldest sailing magazine, see what the editor and
others also say about this issue including my comments here is there

And as this story unfolds I will post it on my website under HPA Fight
Remember change is a funny thing, kinda happens without you really
noticing it sometimes, and then its to late, but to change things you
wanted changed or think should be changed takes some sort of an
effort, if you succeed in that change there is nothing more
satisfying.
Please do not add to this email, I would like it to be read in its
original form with out comments from others
Thanks For your support
