I've seen some dandy country neighbor wars,too,especially when urban folks move to the country and bring their city "attitude" with them. Nothing seems to wrankle more feathers with the locals than that. One particular case north of Peterborough resulted in Toronto people moving back to the "big smoke". They managed to stir up so much crap with the neighbors that their barn burnt down,twice,as soon as they built the new one. Now,once was an accident,twice was a coincidence,but,notes left in their mailboxes that if they didn't soon smarten up the house would be next,sealed the deal. Nobody said "good bye",either.

I had a problem with a neighbour. we shared a road that was not recognized by the municipality, so it was private. everyone but him paid me a small amount to keep it plowed through the winter, they were all cottagers, one claimed he didn't need it. so, since i can access our road from either end (only 5 houses on the road), i plowed him in from both sides. everyone else had access, except him in the middle. he forgot that his kids use the cottage in the winter, and that he still needed the propane guys to be able to access his place to fill the tank... he didn't argue with me again.
not hunting related, but i think it speaks to the same point. that was one massive snow pile on the road at his driveway.

You really do know how to endear yourself don't you. There are problems the law cannot or will not solve. For those with their own spine there's always the more "traditional" approach.

The "traditional approach" is how most issues are solved before the Police ever get involved. City folks that move to the country and start acting like smug,self-entitled jerk offs usually get tuned up in short order.

What I see from these last few posts is, that you are allowed to do what you want on your property, but your neighbour cannot do what he wants on his property, unless you agree with it.

I think Gilroy's post # 37 would apply to your plowing antics, and you could be charged with mischief under the C.C. Sec.430. I even think the definition of extortion fits as well.

Exactly ,takes a real coward to burn a neighbours barn or do mischief to his property .Lots of OPP are ex Toronto Cops with plenty of experience and are from the City ,so yeh they have that city attitude ,that might end up with one playing cell mate with bubba.LOL

That's what I'm seeing here as well. Especially if your neighbour came from a city. Then it's clearly okay to burn his barn down.

Knowing is one thing,proving is quite another. For city folks moving to the country,behave or be packin'.
