Mono

Hey OSA, great move
Put your HQ in a town named after a disease

Infectious mononucleosis, "mono," "kissing disease," and glandular fever are all terms popularly used for the very common illness caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). EBV is a member of the herpesvirus family. The characteristic symptoms of infection with EBV include fever, fatigue, malaise, and sore throat. The designation "mononucleosis" refers to an increase in one type of white blood cells (lymphocytes) in the bloodstream relative to the other blood components as a result of the EBV infection.

Thanks Jque, that's a great article. Should get lots of circulation in Toronto.

Ah yes. Good article!

I've been through that area, visiting Alliston and Newmarket often. Nice, hilly, rugged Canadian lands there. Really quite beautiful.

Where they are located would make a perfect prison area. I am already making plans on how to visit the area for raids. Maybe I can finally get off my butt and do something.

The cult has purchased this property and wants the Bruce Trail moved. The Bruce Trail is a jewel of the province; a 500 mile long hiking trail from Toronto to the Bruce Peninsula at Lake Huron. It is one of THE target destinations for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts, to try and hike as much of the Trail as they can. Now the clams want to move it? Stupid fools! If the Trail must be moved, the Trail committee will move it as close to the clam's property as they can so as to not divert too far those who frequent the trail (who will also ask "WTF is there barbed wire fencing facing in and rerouting the Trail?"). That will also give escapees a perfect chance to bolt and disappear on the Trail. Smart clams!

From the Town of Mono's website:

"We're not exactly sure on the origin of Mono's name. It has been suggested Mono is a First Nation term for "let it be" or possibly a Gaelic derivative, "monodh" meaning hill."

Coyotes in the Community
Date Posted: [ April 23, 2010 ]
The Town of Mono has received numerous reports of coyotes in the municipality, from farmers who have lost cattle and other farm animals, to users of municipal parkland. Wild animals such as coyotes are managed through the Ministry of Natural Resources.

Looks like the Town of Mono is going to have a brand new, very dangerous predator to deal with in the near future. I hope those townspeoples can figure out a way to deal with the poisonous clams about to clammigrate to their area!

The clams have history here in Canada, and not good history.

As far as I know, Revenue Canada does NOT give the <church> of scientology tax free status.

This cult has already been charged with trespassing and a few other Provincial and/or federal offences from their covert ops.

Canada's highest court in 1997 upheld the criminal conviction of the Church of Scientology of Toronto and one of its officers for a breach of trust stemming from covert operations in Canadian government offices during the 1970s and 1980s.

Scientology also lost an appeal of Canada's biggest libel judgement: $1.6-million assessed by a jury after Scientology tried to discredit Casey Hill, the prosecutor who handled the criminal case against the church.

In upholding the libel verdict, the Canadian court said, "Every aspect of this case demonstrates the very real and persistent malice of Scientology." Scientology paid Hill more than $4-million in 1996. The payment included interest and attorneys fees.

Title: OPP Scientology raid finally nets guilty plea
Date: Saturday, 14 December 1985
Publisher: Globe and Mail (Canada)
Author: Murray Campbell

Nearly three years after the largest police raid in Ontario history, the provincial Government has finally won a guilty plea from a member of the Church of Scientology of Toronto.

Nanna Anderson, 39, a former church member, pleaded guilty in Provincial Court yesterday to possession of stolen goods, photocopies of material from the files of the Ontario Medical Association.

Judge Lorenzo DiCecco granted Miss Anderson an absolute discharge, which means she will not have a criminal record. The charge carries a maximum penalty of 10 years.

The woman's lawyer and the Crown attorney had asked for a discharge conditional upon a one- year probationary period. But Judge DiCecco told Miss Anderson: "Whatever you did was because of a situation that developed over a number of years. . . . You've been penalized sufficiently." Miss Anderson and 18 other former and present members of the Church of Scientology were charged nearly a year ago with a variety of offences—breach of trust, theft and possession of stolen documents—as a result of a four-year intensive investigation by the Ontario Provincial Police.

More than 100 OPP officers, some armed with sledgehammers and fire extinguishers, raided the church's Yonge Street headquarters in March, 1983, seeking evidence into alleged fraud involving claimed tax exemptions and marketing of church courses. Police removed about 250,000 documents in 900 boxes.

The investigation, which began in 1980 when a special OPP unit was formed, is believed to have cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. The church says it has spent more than $500,000 in lawyers' fees in the various cases that have arisen since the raid.

The Church of Scientology is recognized in Australia, the United States, Britain and France as well as in several Canadian provinces but is not allowed to perform marriages—a chief element of recognition in Ontario. It says it has about 6,500 members in Toronto.

Earl Smith, president of the church in Toronto, criticized the OPP investigation yesterday as "basically religious persecution." All those charged, he said, were members of an autonomous Guardian unit created in 1966 to deal with security and public relations issues. He said the unit was disbanded in 1980 because it conflicted with church policy and its members were disciplined well before the OPP laid its charges.

Thank for the info.

As I recall someone from the G.O. ,at that time, told me that Trudeau said that Scientology was not a religion but a business so this is a big reason they did not get Church tax exemption in Canada.
