Richmond Hill votes against singing O Canada
David Menzies of TheRebel.media travels to Richmond HIll, Ontario to investigate reports that their city council's legal advisors told them not to sing O Canada.
Why? Because -- reportedly -- the word God might violate a recent Supreme Court ruling banning prayer during council meetings. However, there seems to be some confusion about what really happened.

Abandoned Fantasy Gardens Richmond British Columbia Canada
Fantasy Gardens was home to a massive plant store in the Art Knapp's chain, owned by Frank Van Hest. Bill Vander Zalm's son Wim owned several other stores in the Art Knapp's chain. Many people visited the store to get a glimpse of its turtle-filled pond. This plant store closed its location at Fantasy Gardens, moving to a vacant nursery one mile west along Alderbridge Way and Minoru Boulevard. The Art Knapp's Nursery stores were founded by Arthur William Knapp, a longtime resident of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.
During the 1980s and early 1990s, there was a small-scale amusement park at Fantasy Gardens. The biggest attraction was a miniature railroad that visitors could ride throughout the park and the gardens. When the fair closed down, most of the miniature railroad tracks were ripped up. Before being closed, this miniature railroad was filmed and it appeared in The X-Files episode The Calusari. During this episode, a toddler chases a balloon that is being carried away by a ghost, and he runs on to the track and is hit and killed by the train.
In 1984, the gardens were bought by Bill Vander Zalm, who established the Christian theme of much of the park. Then a provincial MLA, Vander Zalm went on to be Premier of British Columbia. His later sale of the park led to charges of conflict of interest, which in turn led to his resignation in 1991 and the defeat of the Social Creditgovernment.
Vander Zalm sold the property in the early 1990s to Taiwanese businessman Tan Yu for $16 million, who then sold it to local developer firm Townline in 2007 that redeveloped into retail property named The Gardens.
On 7 September 2010, Fantasy Gardens was torn down, but the Dutch Castle, now a community landmark, was saved. The castle is a replica of Coevorden Castle, the ancestral home of Captain George Vancouver in the Netherlands. The castle was donated to the people of Vancouver by the city of Coevorden for Expo '86.
The Castle is not shown in this video as it is covered in advertising for the sale of condo's. Over the years there has been minimal vandalism as you can see most of the statues have been stolen, only 4 of the 12 remain and three of those are broken and the barns shutters have been torn off and either used for fire wood or now adorn peoples cottages.
I hope you enjoy the video and the history of this park.

Wilcox Lake Park- Richmond Hill, Ontario
I filmed this video in Wilcox Lake Park (Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada).
The lake measures 1.5 kilometers across. It was named after William Willcocks who was mayor of Cork, Ireland in 1793 and who moved to Canada where he acquired significant holdings in Upper Canada, including 800 acres around the lake.
The lake itself is used for fishing, windsurfing, kayaking, and boating.
