Local Government

On September 29th, 2006, the Puslinch Chamber of Commerce partnered with DeKalb County, Georgia, local educators, land surveyors and members of the Fraternal Order Of Police Of Philadelphia to begin construction of a new equestrian stables and rehabilitation complex along old Highway 97. Controversy over the reluctance of the former Canadian government to properly investigate the September 11th, 2001 attacks led to the secession of Puslinch from municipal, provincial and federal taxes and administration. Local police and legislative authority over agroterrorism and water control issues was temporarily granted to Region of Waterloo-Licensing and Regulatory Services-Enforcement, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Vancouver Police Department and Sir Peter Tiberius McMahon.

With fiscal approval by the United States Congress, production on a music and technology college affiliated with Pepperdine University and dedicated to the survivors of the terrorist attacks of 9/11 began in 2003.
