ontario laws responsible to help them t x the the crown attorney or childrens aid society however kirs carder feels the whole system needs revamping weve a long way to go f it still takes considerable

they rented the property last april mr turner who owns his own printing business claims his family has suffered extreme mental and physical discomfort all because the government- has neglected its

asked for additional supports for the barn fearing it will collapse few of the requests were met he said ive spent six weeks of my time and over 2000 on the property to make it liveable he says two fires burned for three days before all the junk the home and barn was destroyed he got rid of a tangle of weeds sanded the floors plastered and painted the walls and repaired holes for his efforts he
