Ontario Wind Turbine Map
What a great deal! $1500 a year over 20 years of your own tax dollars to be paid back from the wind companies once they have first banked their millions in tax subsidised profits!!!
$1500 a year for you to shut up!
$1500 a year which will not compensate for ill health or property devaluation!
Anyone who agrees to this ‘sweet deal’( -not-)comes really cheap and deserves all that happens to them.
Far better to spend your efforts and cash on supporting ways to kill these projects.
The Green Energy Act has been proved to be a failure and only continues to exist as political propaganda.
The dash for REA contracts being carried on by corrupt and greedy crooks.
There can be no one with any intelligence left in Ontario who still believes that either industrial or solar projects make sense. The balloon has to explode soon.
Keep up the fight and protest every way you can.
Giving any credibility to the industrial wind and solar industries only allows them to survive for a bit longer!

$1,500 x 230 = ~$350,000/yr. Not even the price of one farm that would have to be bought out? And no legal fees to pay either. Shows just how lucrative these IWT contracts are.
AGREE…THEY ARE ONLY USING OUR OWN MONEY (MONEY WE HAVE ALREADY PAID, AND THIS SHOWS HOW RICH THEY ARE) TO TRY TO BRIBE US/
if you basically take there hush trap moneys you are giving them consent to be harassed by these machines, Therefor i believe you agree for turbines to be placed in your neighbourhood or community. They just believe we all want money and believe we are like children receiving candy.
“Community Renewable Energy Bribe” er… “Benefit” Yup, you can see right through what they’re thinking is……. Let’s share a few measly crumbs with the peons in the countryside to see if it’ll help fix their ahhh… “attitude”……. They just don’t get it. We just don’t want them or their IWT’s around here and least of all we don’t like being thought of as a bought and paid for.
$1500. – just got popped – into the oven

My gut tells me – something sounds ‘fishy’ – and, worse – toxic!

If you take the money – you are not –
‘A Canadian!

The Brindleys from Goderich were permanently forced from their home in phase one. Still no compensation whatsoever. Years of pleading with capital power and MOE got nowhere.There are many other families who have been impacted as badly.
SHAME on them and shame on our government for allowing this type of bribe to even be an option.
Who the H runs a government policy this way? Gags and bribes. What a brilliant business plan.
