Building a Low Budget Home on Manitoulin Island
Canada
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 13 มิ.ย. 2021
I am documenting the my solo build in Dawson Township Manitoulin Island Ontario..
Before you buy land here, I recommend you talk people who are building in Dawson Township first. The Ford government has given the Manitoulin Planning Board authority to fine builders who are not in compliant. I haven't heard a positive experience yet. I now consider this a no build zone due to the planning board in this unorganized township. We came here to escape the bullshit of the big city, and we got more than we ever had in the city.
The issue we have now is our RV is in the drive way temporarily while we complete the house.
There is still plenty of unorganized land in northern Ontario, so I recommend taking a drive and look for some cheap land that has what you need. Algoma District north east of Sault Ste. Marie is a good place to start.
If you are set on this Island, don't sign anything until you work out your build plan and see if it complies with local planning board.

Choose carefully. We are building in Dawson Township - Manitoulin Island. The Dawson and Robinson Township have a planning board that you will need to work with.We have had an unexpected experience in the Dawson Township, unlike our previous experience in Galbraith Township in the Ontario Algoma District. The Doug Ford Government has granted them power to fine property owners who do no comply w...

Simple trick I learned about baseboard. Just leave a few drywall screws on the bottom sticking out about 1/8 to 2/8 and check to ensure it is flush with the drywall.

Great advice thanks!
you got robbed
so no government, no health, no public health , no law enforcement, anyone can do anything like the wild west??
Everything has to do with contracts no contract no compliance
I've heard that area is run by a cartel don't know anything else though
It's as though these types of Boards attract a type of individual that hunger for control of others. I once had to deal with a 'board of variance' that hosts volunteers of our town (neighbors), and if they don't take a liking to you and your prospective plans...they impose hardship on you for no reason. One thing I've learned is most of them are pure BLUSTER, and the moment you mention the 'Courts'...you don't hear from them ever again. Few rural municipalities have the resources to sue, and this leaves their threats dead in the water! I find it's always best to reasonably build according to general local code, then you can have an engineer sign off on your build, or improvement making your case unflappable throughout any threats phase of your project.
Your first mistake, was interacting with an entity that has no authority to dictate what you can and cant do. As a Canadian you have the right above any bylaw to live, work and travel anywhere in Canada. Do not comply.
parts of manitoulin island is an Indian reserve. the planning board is run by them?
No. Ontario Government appointed the Planning Board. Nothing to do with the first nations people on the island.
Tell them to POUND SAND. AND STAND UP. DO YOU HAVE CANADIAN RIGHTS OR NOT. STAND UP.
Are we a free people or not. Hey. Let’s charge everyone 95 percent income tax.
Billions going from canada and the usa to the usa.
An interesting but perplexing story you've shared. It shows that each unorganized township is different and due diligence is needed when researching which one is best suited for one's needs. Some don't want or need the extra amenities/services provided (like a marina) while others may find having certain services like a marina worth the additional taxes. We're in an unorganized twp. here in Ont. that only has a roads board and a local landfill site. That's it! Thanks for sharing. G&M
I'm just gonna hide in Algonquin Park.
No wonder you used the thumbnail, that you did lol
government slows down progress when it comes to building
How does the planning board gets its authority?
The Manitoulin Planning Board was created by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing under the planning act. Just found this yesterday. The minister is MPP Paul Calandra. I sent him a link to this video. 😆
It wouldn't have to be a neighbor that alerted the board, It was probably an agent of the board being nosey because they're the ones with the info on new people in the area.
Sounds like over reach money grabbing
Yeah , yeah no rules should apply to me just you
Basically, you are not in ‘the club’ so they’ll screw with you cause you are not one of their building buddies.
After getting my building permit, some road guys came after me demanding a deposit on possible damage to roads … I strung them along and never paid that … could you imagine? I’d have never seen that money again. That happened in Toronto.
Wow
How you came up on my feed I don't know. But I subbed immediately. Thinking of relocating to N Ontario from London. That's a long and involved convo. Canada has dysentary now and Ontario is a bleeding hemorrhoid. Thank you for starting this channel and putting this content out there!!! I'm watching London turn into a "15 min city" and it boggles my mind how many refuse to see it happening. Checkout "Arctic Acres Geodysic Domes". I have NO affiliation with them at all. I'd love to have a property I can put one up on myself then start putting them up for others as a contractor. N Ontario is the perfect environment for one. Canadian distributor in S Ontario. They aren't cheap. But they'll pay off for personal use or a sideline later feeding others year round. 👍
Keep away from that island it’s mostly run by First Nations come to southern Ontario lots of small towns with great supermarkets lots of food choices
Food choices as in toxic processed food? Not much of a sell there. All you need is water, salt, meat.
Just call it a site office and security trailer. Night security is full time.
im here because of the thumbail and i thought this was interesting i also dont view house stuff or care even a little so gj youtube keep showing me whatever this is btw sorry channel owener i know it ain't your fault buddy
Do a freedom of information request to find out the person who did this to you.
My grip is really with the governments enforcing their stupid rules on people trying to solve their own housing problem. I'm in the "bush".
Never get on the bad side of small minded people with a little power. Sounds like someone just wanted you irritated.
writing to the gov't to stop walking all over you is going to stop them. seriously look into learning about law. setting your own law. remembering who you are. and your rights to property as a man or woman. these gov't workers have convinced people that they have any say over what you do. they've become the daddy that neighbors run to when they get offended and cant handle approaching you to talk it out man to man. Of course if there is actual harm being made against another that's a different story, then they should be seeking remedy from you directly. I know people who have built on their farm, a big barn no permit in southern ont. been approached by the building inspector that drives by everyday. because they know how to apply their property rights, he knew how to talk to the inspector and ask him for proof that he has any ownership or say over his property. no documentation can be provided. so they go on their way. he also has a notice at the entry to the property that it is private, more details on sign.... so since he has made a "notice" viewable to who ever enters they "knowingly" enter and may have consequences... possibly leading to trespassing claims, because its his jurisdiction now. resources: courses and interviews by the people below - law of man kind course. applicable to canada, how to work/live in the private domain, - curtis stone the off gridder. while he doesn't explicitly teach about it, he mentions it from time to time, and lives it, canada based. - brandon joe williams, has a free course, usa based so info may not be exactly applicable, and doesn't really talk about land, but talks about the fallacy of the money, gov't, tax systems.
Planning boards and similar bodies are empowered by provincial legislation. Your MPP is jerking you around.
Lets see what happens to our MPP next election. www.michaelmantha.ca
The whole grey Bruce peninsula and surrounding areas are a cartel...I have lived in Wiarton area now for 20+ years and have politically asked for compliance to their own rules, as we are on a unassumed road and they flat out denied my legitimate request...soooo I will NEVER comply to their requests...because,I have paid my taxes on time always...AND GET ZIP ZERO ZILCH for my tax dollars...
There is no frontier anymore. There is no getting away from modern society. Everything will continue to trend this way, and it is inevitable as their reach contines to expand deeper into every aspect of our lives
I suspect you nailed it. There may be some freedom left on the great lakes, but who want's to live on a boat on the great lakes in the winter. Six months anchored for free in the summer, then sail south for winter is an option for some hardy sailors if your spouse doesn't get sea sick or claustrophobic.
You poor baby. Less goverment means anti goverment. Nice place you are recording from. Why not just build a quick little place call it a house then you can have your trailer.
Unbelievable. "Pay this 'fee' or else you'll get a fine."
Services board does not have the ability to have a planning board. You must not be an unorganized twp. Contact Mines and Northern Development.
The township is not incorporated and checked with the locals and they agree. It's documented here as well. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unorganized_West_Manitoulin_District Thanks for your post.
I would definitely get a hold of Northern mines and development. I believe your services board has overstepped their authority.
Very interesting. Found their site now. Thank you very much. This was an important piece of the puzzle I was missing.
ya simple look out and see those globalist wef woke that love making canada broke
welcome to New Canada((((((((((((
Being a former property owner in Robinson Twp for 16 years, this you tuber, definatly did something wrong and pissed off the Locals. Manitoulin folks are great people..Stopped many times at stop 542 in silverwater and G.G In Evansville for lunch always great food and conversation with the locals. Do not believe this,
Great people on the island for sure, but I'm afraid you have it backward. Thanks for your comment.
He did say the people at the town were all great people 🤷🏼♀️. So try watching the full video 🙈
[Read POGG Primer this should learn you on whats going on across CANADA.]
In Billings we purchased a water line for city hall. Every resident was billed $888.88 per property that has water access.
This is more empire building, and the property owners pay. I have no experience in politics, but I have always talked to my customers in advance to explain the problems, costs, and options. The townships are not supposed to be a monarchy and expand the castle grounds.
In Ontario, everything is illegal. Or expensive
cant have a beer on crown lad!!!??? is not freedom!!!
Petty despots empowered by a crooked provincial government that encourages people to harass their neighbors. I sometimes wonder who really won WW2.
CANADA is way overdue for a "REAL" DEMOCRACY.
Rule following nosey busybodies are sickening.
Umm. My eyes got super wide and im still not sure if that was awesome or not. I guess as long as your happy.
Just like the mafia!! Pay or else.
Check before you do anything, save yourself a lot of time and money.
You will find out that most of these people who want more government bs are the so called educated people who moved from the city to get away from all the government bs and they end up in control it's basically the same thing where I used to live in BC
That is probably true. Seen an example on an tiny island in Bahamas where the sailing families tried to organize and set their own rules for the island.
It's called agenda 21" they hired several thousand people to look and find buildings on Google earth...they find something they call it in!
It's John Lock
Wow so sorry. Thank you for educating us.
