On the first day of spring, the Town (Ajax) gave to us... a $95,558 demand letter. 🌱
What do you get from a group of councillors and a mayor who vote themselves raises, raise taxes, and squander taxpayer dollars on high-priced Ottawa law firms? Apparently this.
Thneedville. The fictional town from The Lorax where the mayor bulldozes everything with soul, hands the community the bill, and calls it progress. We’re not saying. We’re just saying.
What does $95,558 look like when you break it down? “Interest” arbitrarily calculated at 20% of the total. Legal fees for what amounts to a handful of emails clocking in at 41%. And property taxes demanded for a building we no longer occupy.
And a new $4500 alarm system too. Your hard earned tax dollars at work.
You genuinely cannot make this math up. But then again, this is the same mayor who was charged with financial misconduct and was forced to pay thousands in fines as reported in the press. Old habits die hard.
Oh, and Mayor? About that public comment suggesting we aren’t a functioning distillery. Our Free Bird Two Year Single Barrel Rum just took Gold and Best in Class at the 2026 Canadian Artisan Spirits Awards. We’ll take that apology whenever you’re ready.
We will be waiting patiently for you.
Stay tuned folks. This isn’t over. 🥃
