The Joe Gardener Show is an Emmy Award-winning national series on public television airing in 96% of the US and 38 countries.

Fighting for the Right to Have a Natural Yard, with Wolf Ruck is Episode 401 in a podcast trilogy featuring my experience in the context of the wider battle against ongoing bureaucratic overreach impacting the lives of many proponents of the Urban Rewilding Movement in Ontario and Canada. Defending a Native Garden From Misguided Laws — the Craig and Beth Sinclair story in Episode 400 — is especially compelling, and Episode 402 featuring Lorraine Johnson, Nina-Marie Lister — long-time veterans spear-heading the cause is about to be released.

Pursuant to another Notice of Contravention issued on May 3, 2024, the City of Mississauga executed a third Enforcement Action, notwithstanding a written request addressed to the decision-making authorities to pause any action until the Appeal has been heard. (See Letter to City of Mississauga)

The City of Mississauga’s targeting of Wolf Ruck’s private property with repeated and escalating By-law 125-2017 Enforcement since 2021—particularly the latest Action on October 17, 2024—starkly reveals a pattern of ongoing harassment in violation of Procedural Fairness, Administrative Law, and Charter protections.

Despite repeated appeals for due process and respect for his legal rights, the City’s decision-making authorities have chosen to proceed with Enforcement Actions in direct contravention of principles of natural justice and fair governance under Canadian Law.

The Enforcement Action on October 17, 2024, epitomizes the City’s disregard for legal process and demonstrates its apparent intention to bully Wolf Ruck into compliance at any cost, even while the case is under judicial review—a clear violation of DUE PROCESS under Canadian Law.

This approach not only violates Charter rights but also poses potential liabilities for the City’s decision-making authorities who are accountable for executing illegal Enforcement Actions before the Court of Appeal has rendered its decision.
