| Veterans' MC Portrayed as Puppet Club |
2009-10-19 |
| |
| This is an excerpt from an article in the Vancouver Sun.
Puppet biker clubs tied to Hells Angels have top cops in B.C. worried.
By Kim Bolan, VANCOUVER SUN September 24, 2009
'Another group of concern to police has been around for the last three years and is called the Veterans' Motorcycle Club. Its website indicates every member has to own a Harley Davidson and have been in the Canadian Armed Forces for at least three years.'
See the
complete Vancouver Sun article
PAY ATTENTION: THIS IS A PARTICULAR NASTY PIECE OF DISCRIMINATION!!
This article is of great concern to the Ontario Confederation of Clubs as it enflames public opinion without any substantiating evidence attesting to the validity of the claims made in this article. This article demonstrates a blatant disregard for the facts and it emerges as a propaganda piece dictated by the police services. The article is a prime example of a bigoted and biased police state bent on suffocating our lifestyle. It definitely underlines that the Vancouver Sun has established itself as a subservient puppet to law enforcement and that it will sink to any depths to sell a few more copies of its rag.
ABSOLUTE RUBBISH AND AN UNNECESSARY SLASH AT OUR VETERANS!! |

2009-06-15 |
| |
| On June 6, 2009, the Perfect Pigs M.C. hosted the first Annual Hero's Highway Motorcycle Ride to benefit the Sapper Mike McTeague Wounded Warriors Fund. The event was open and entirely free to all bikers with donations gratefully accepted. The run attracted 120 bikes and raised $1500.00 from participant donations. Riders departed the Ten Acre Truck Stop at Trenton and occupied the left lane of the Highway of Heroes, traveling in an unbroken procession, until reaching Iroquois Park in Whitby. All riders arrived at the destination without mishap, underscoring a very successful event.
The Perfect Pigs M.C. take this opportunity to express their gratitude to the owners of the Ten Acre Truck Stop, Iroquois Park and all the participants, particularly the members of the OCC that turned out and made the day a memorable event. |

| Ontario Improving Accessible Parking For Motorcyclists |
2008-05-31 |
| |
| Thanks to the effort of Michael Warren and other in Bikers Rights Organization, Ontario is making it easier for people with disabilities to use their motorcycles. As of May 26, 2008, motorcyclists will have a new visible accessible parking permit sticker to place directly on their license plate. The new sticker will complement the existing placard permit.
Instead of leaving the permit on their motorcycle - which is a privacy
and theft concern - motorcyclists will now be required to carry the permit with them and may need to present it if asked by an enforcement officer Ontario's accessible parking permit supports the McGuinty government's commitment to make Ontario fully accessible by 2025.

| Bikers Respond to Ontario HOV Issue |
2008-03-31 |
| |
| March 31, 2008 - The OCC Information Booth at the National Motorcycle Show was an extremely busy place this past weekend. Motorcyclist from all corners of the province were eager to place their signatures on the OCC petition to demonstrate their discontent regarding the current law prohibiting single rider, two-wheeled motorized vehicles from entering and using the High Occupancy Vehicle lanes established on Ontario highways. Hard copy signatures totaled 460 and all supporters were eager to take additional petition flyers to their friends, which were unable to attend the show, detailing the location of the online petition that is also growing daily.
This issue is a no-brainer, justified and fairly easy to rectify, but it appears that the current provincial government is determined to avoid the obvious and has no plans to change the current rules that govern HOV lane access. It now falls to us, the citizens of Ontario that have huge safety, social and environmental issues regarding this subject, to take a stand and make an affirmative statement that cannot be ignored. It is our ambition to present a 5000 name petition to the provincial government when they convene for the fall session of the Ontario Legislature.
