Based on my experience, they simply do not give a rats ass. They signed away our rights to a third party and left no means to control them in place.

Please keep us up to speed. When I contacted mine, could have cared less.
alright....so my note to Foodcart Filion is part request....part rant....but not a lot of room for interpretation
Hello Mr. Filion,
I’m contacting you today asking if you would consider trying to change or make rules to help home owners protect their property from the onslaught of new home construction in this city.
I live at xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx....and I am surrounded by non-stop construction.
Returning home from the office Monday evening, I discovered that Enbridge had been there during the day and had dug a hole in my lawn, cut a large piece out of the sidewalk...and cut the Bell line to my house.
If Enbridge had left a note in my mailbox a few days prior to this happening, I would have been able to schedule my time to be at the house that day, and easily locate the Bell line for them, and this would not have happened.
I think if a company is going to dig up any area in front of your home (regardless of whether it’s considered private property or city property) that giving the home owner ample notice shouldn’t just be a courtesy....it should be the law.
I’m not sure if you’ve had the pleasure of dealing with Bell to have a new line run to your house, but they seem to have trouble communicating which isn’t a great thing for a communications company. Over a 48 hour period they sent 4 separate techs, the first 3 who said they couldn’t do the job....I had to contact Bell constantly during the process and had to stay home from the office for 2 days. And that’s just to get a temporary line strung through the trees....I now have to spend more time trying to get them out to properly bury a line.
So...I’m now left with an asphalt eyesore in front of my house that will no doubt be there for years before the sidewalk is repaired....I know it will be years because I have the luck of also having a hydro pole on my front boulevard....which means for the last 2 years I have 2 hydro poles....the new one and the old one. I have a hole in my lawn, and an ugly line strung through the trees .
If this city is not going to make rules to help home owners protect their property....then we may as well just all stay home from work so we can guard our properties from this carelessness.
Regards
Can I join the bitter neighbour rant session?
Seems like every day I come home to find the guy a few houses down has his buddies over and parked sideways/backwards taking up 2 or more street spots, the same guy who's had a tarp on his roof for the last 8 months, the same one who's bright blue rainwater barrels we all have to stare at out front next to his bright yellow house. He leaves his fucking 1000watt LED porch light on all night so we can always get a good look.
Now his neighbours(1 down from me) are using a revolving door policy on residents as well, it was a daughter/father/mother combo when I moved in, now the parents are gone and its the daughter and her harley loving boyfriend who insists the driveway isnt big enough for his giant dynaglide and his 2 door car so the car sits on the road for weeks on end. Good thing his daughter appears to be living there now, coming at random hours with the music in her car full blast and leaving it full blast while she shuts every window.
Bitter old man I am, but these people clearly give 2 fucks about their neighbours. They had the guys doing the lawn rolling park their truck and trailer on the wrong side of our narrow street, leaving about barely a cars worth of space between their setup and parked cars for traffic to get by. People were crawling within CM of my truck, I didnt say anything because these guys got to park somewhere to work, but then once their done they crack a beer and talk for a while, Fuuuuuuuuuuck.
I wont even drive the Mustang in summer if I think I'll be after 11 o'clock so as not to disturb people, or start it before 9 am.
disagree.....the shitshow of the Ont Libs are gonna get Harper re-elected
I think the drama teacher is gonna finish in 3rd place.....he's got his father's looks, his mother's brain and hair....and he was born with a silver foot in his mouth.....he can champion the "middle class" until his eyes pop out...he is not believable
his attack on the "rich" to take back the $10k TFSA max is gonna cost him a huge portion of the largest voting demo in the country....the 50+ demo who are debt free may not be "rich" but can easily afford the 10k and love the TFSA will be voting to keep it
his attack on the "rich" to increase taxes against those making 200k per year is gonna bomb in the GTA....cause 200k in the GTA does not make you rich....and those makin close to that with be voting elsewhere too because asshole politicians who want to punish the "rich" always move the bar
a life-long trust fund dickhead who's never had to worry about making money ever can't bullshit even the daft on his fake promises
Bill C-51 can go die in a fire.
