Recently members of the Chatham-Kent Wind Action Group gave of their time, and at their own expense, organized a public meeting regarding industrial wind turbines and family health. This event was organized as a public service to the community to help those who have been suffering adverse effects due to wind turbines. The meeting was also to educate those who in the near future may find they have turbines as neighbours.
Representatives of the wind industry arrived at the meeting with the express purpose of disrupting the educational event and aggravating those in attendance. Their presence and comments were inflammatory for those who have been suffering at the hands of the wind industry for several years. The drunk and disorderly conduct of the wind industry reps clearly demonstrated the complete disregard the wind industry and its representatives have for the local citizens.
It’s time to stand up to the wind scam. It’s time to protect your families’ health, quality of life, your finances and our environment. Tell the wind industry they are not welcome.

I think MPP Rick Nicholls who was attending, is starting to fully appreciate what rural residents have been dealing for the last 6 years. The wind proponents were the first ones to take the microphone during the Q&A and blurt out unproven claims about how much money they were providing the community without any discussion as to how much it is costing us as a ratepayers to support this kind of revenue for area farmers and councils. All this and residents who are suffering and essentially asked to suck it up.
A great story in the making. If only wind reps the world over would behave this way. Unfortunately most are well behaved in their thuggery.
Crony capitalism on display in all its ugliness. But what do they care? They’ve come to educate the peasants. Unfortunately for drunken bozos, people know where the money is coming from, and how little they’re getting back.
The situation in Ontario regarding IWT projects may now have advanced to the point where complaints can be made to MPs concerning the means by which contracts have been awarded where those contracts involve federal money.
Crony capitalism? Funny I didn’t think McGuinty’s politics supported capitalism?
I think it is far worse than capitalism, the Ontario wind energy industry are no more than petty crooks let loose in the Green Energy Act candy shop with a blank check signed by McGuinty on behalf of the Ontario taxpayer.
The real culprit is a failed liberal political agenda only put in place to placate an extreme environmentalist lobby who still have no clue that their plans to save the earth will only destroy communities rather than ensure their survival.
There isn’t a single rational argument to support either industrial wind or solar projects.
That’s the only debate that makes sense.

I was looking for your program -
and, came upon this:
File under: Agenda 21 – Sustainable Development
( Ugh! – more environmental ‘radical’ initiatives)
The proposed act Bill 100, An Act to Protect and Restore the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River Basin includes a broad purpose statement that speaks to protecting and restoring the ecological health of the Great Lakes-St Lawrence River Basin, as well as creating opportunities for individuals or communities to become involved in the protection and restoration of the ecological health of the area.
Among the proposed activities that support the Act s objectives, is the establishment of a Great Lakes Guardians Council, which will provide a forum for stakeholders to set targets, develop initiatives and agreements that span the various jurisdictions.
Ontario farmers in those regions are already taking action to protect the land and water, and some of those efforts have not gone unrecognized. The draft Great Lakes Strategy acknowledges the success of the Environmental Farm Plan Program in driving on-farm environmental initiatives and the high compliance rate of those producers regulated under the Nutrient Management Act. As well, the Great Lakes Act builds on the success of the highly praised Lake Simcoe Act, which allows for broad stakeholder involvement in designing goals and processes to help with Lake Simcoe s preservation.
