Onni Public Hearing II (With Brand New Shiny Rules)

The public hearing will be on the 11th of March.

Neither rain or snow or sleet should stop you from attending and giving Council your opinion.

Take a nap in the afternoon as it will go late.

Should the CNV be dealing with Onni ever?

For North Van people who closely followed the Onni saga, you probably noticed a food webzine run by a hipster from Surrey who incessantly railed against the nimbies and those opposed to Onni.


Strange articles for a foodie webzine? With the several scandals surrounding the PR dept of major developers, one wonders if Onni is paying the owner of this site and others.

On a local North Van blog one commenter though the guy sitting next to him at the Public Hearing, who spoke in favour of Onni was an extra on Supernatural so was a paid actor delivering Onni's script.

More scandals. Real estate firm apologizes after employees pose as buyers in news stories,

Real-estate media manipulation trend emerges,

Last May, the North Shore News caught Onni's PR Department writing fake letters to the editor.   http://www.nsnews.com/Cheap+trick/6686168/story.html#ixzz2EFmkXyoA  


Some surmise that the developers and real estate agencies think the bubble is about the burst and they most get their snouts in the trough for a last binge before a lean decade.

After their shenanigans at the Public Hearing, one thing is clear.  Onni is not an honest company that the City of North Van should be involved with.

We will be going into a second public hearing on this development shortly.


Things get a lot more serious when you start scratching the surface of the family founded Onni.  What exactly is Mayor Mussato's relationship with the De Cotiis family. Siblings of the De Cotiis family own the Onni Group, Pinnacle International and Amacon. They are responsible for most of the big conversial land developments in North Vancouver. http://www2.canada.com/theprovince/news/story.html?id=fca1081a-8ba6-4568-a42c-e23962a6d3bc


Reality TV should check into the doings of the De Cotiis family for their next big show. Rich Families in Court.  I've been in bcjustice.com reading about their adventures in court suing each other.

A Michael De Cotiis of Pinnacle was charged in Ontario for illegal campaign contributions.  Here they made large legal contributions to the Councillors who have loudly supported Onni, Pinnacle and Amacon projects.

Wake up Council and end your dealings with this group.
