8:37 am
there telling everybody in the city that day infrastructure is falling apart. that's a big lie. i've tried to tell our people here if your home ain't anything for you you have to fight for it if you're not willing to fight for your home you don't deserve a. very
8:38 am

8:40 am
this tree here i planted that one at a one time on a foot and i have high. and there was no bag past the earth i wasn't worried about is getting wrecked in the city one day is going to come in here and hit my tree with a bulldozer. as well and i look at the golf course i say you've got three four hundred people living in this park and you got sick people on the golf course cover now about five thousand acres. and they have no place for a. ridiculous. i'm not telling them to remove the golf course. i'm telling them to remove themselves from our way of life if they don't like it don't treat us like trailer trash. well the thing is they promised a. new park to move to and then we were going to hold them so that you know if i
8:41 am
make a promise to the city they damn well help make me live up to it. again you've got a manager i'll go on not going door to door you got to get out by the end of the month there's gehring people. when i was a kid moving from farm an apartment and losing your stuff it's not a big deal but when you're in a home and you've accumulated so much stuff and you have stuff from your family that they've passed on and you can't take with you know it's hard. to wealth is what you are know how. so. it's all people believe anymore.
8:42 am
there's quite a few people in here they think that they're just to be able to walk up to a lawyer and fight to stay in here and really show you everybody's heads for forward and say this part we're going to say this part. is going to be taking. their lives or hold there's no more fight. there is no more time. on the missing. bits by youth need name i used to keep my grasp of the fence was but after what
8:43 am
they did get about this don't do nothing. that my part. found one that i will take. in. the i'm ready to go. i can move at any time now for the mosque. it's a bunker it's a basement apartment the one bedroom. i'm going from two feet above ground zero four feet below. because right now i'm two feet above ground with this curtain. and i'm going to go into the bunker be down all you can see is my head. but i'll get used to it you know you know. with this move with the saw at the pool. i have to take what the majority does i mean i can't not one man is going to take on the fifty.
8:44 am
i'm watching the interviews that you've been doing and i know i'm still trying to figure out what i can do to help other than just shine a light all right like what are you hoping for rio compensation fair value i know then i got to go buy a shot i want my home you want to keep your ship me people ask you why you haven't started a lawsuit like on a much. money. to close midfield we under the mobile home tendencies that had to give one year's notice we said that wasn't fair we gave three. no compensation was payable we said that was fair so everyone is getting ten thousand dollars cash plus help with their moving expenses plus of course they
8:45 am
still own their homes. so of the hundred and eighty three homes at midfield i believe about one hundred fifty have moved already about forty have plans to move before the end of the month about ten we have not heard from yet. i. i. i. i. i can't. believe. you know i know they've got
8:46 am
a. fence around they've got. to be able. to give you that closed in feeling for sure. takes away the scenery we've got you know we pay an extra fifty dollars in rent here. and they've been. a year ago i was had started to have pains and everything then i finally got checked out and after a month or so of diagnosis and stuff found out i had stomach cancer. so i went back to work and said well i can't work now because i've got other issues
8:47 am
to deal with then left work came home here i walked into the front door and that's when our notice was on the front door saying that we have to leave here at the end of september so then i discount a three and out a side to side other issues to work on high now because i was in a lot of pain and everything so we got through that and i got to get through this.
8:48 am
deme braun just the court room where they are arguing he's on media and he's a person who put the go fund me page for those of you who wanted to help fund the action and i'm in find out what exactly happened there dean brown thanks so much for joining us thanks for calling in it's been a great morning so tell us what happened when we went into the court and the are to learn to match or else he's arguing with the city that we're going to delay it until november twenty second so the residents who want to remain there are free to remain there until november well right on through no objection on september thirtieth no objections september thirtieth. they know they've got to fight on
8:49 am
their hands because before i take ten thousand dollars i put a match to it as a joke it's a stir up a hornet's nest and that's exactly what it's going to do if you've got the public behind that and everything changed. presidents now have a lawyer working on their behalf matthew farrel took the park president's case to court today at a hearing both in november farrel will argue the city's reasons for addicting the residents crumbling water and sewer infrastructure goes against the provinces mobile home site tenant. i was in the streets when you. were here to go in front of the judge and find out which way things are going to go
8:50 am
