Comment on Lisa Thompson to bring forward private member bill by Frances

More is better! Current goal is 1000 so I was doubling it but if you want to aim higher, pick a number and let’s see what we can do.

I disagree, David. Our fight IS with the local officers. The buck stops with them. If you listen to Rotter or McGuinty or Bradley or whoever, they say, “Rest assured, if there is a problem, we have the Spills Action Centre to fix it.”

So, it’s up to the SAC responding officers to blow the whistle, and if they don’t, then they are failing in their mandate to “protect the public health.”

These officers should be cornered, shamed, and encouraged to blow the whistle. It shouldn’t take an FOI request to find out what, if anything, these officers are doing, over at the Ministry of Embarassment.

The Haldimand area, particularly, has really come through strong! Thank you to all out that way.

I know there are thousands more out there. We’ll see where we’re at by March 8th.

Excellent letter and an excellent illustration.

It’s time Ontarians outside of the GTA stand up and do whatever it takes to get the Liberals out of power in a year or 2. With the Toronto media and unions acting like McGuinty staffers, everyone needs to get very vocal.

Thanks for the link ………
Time to switch off McGuinty tout suite..
It would be appropriate to have a debt counter in Toronto /New York/ London/ Germany/ or on line (a tv/web screen ticking away the $$$$$$$$ this Jackass is flittering away per min and day) on electricity paid exports and steamed off and spilled water..and the dollar figure to each IWT company collecting the taxpayers dollars.
Pictures ………..don’t know how how to do this but if DTromp has a few bucks with this cause then…….lets ask the question!

Hello Lisa,
This link has more informationn than is given in the above letter.
http://ontario-wind-resistance.org/2012/02/09/moe-readings-show-shockingly-high-noise-levels/

We have to keep complaining to stay in the system. As soon as we stop the government assumes the problem no longer exists. Some day something will change. The larger number of people that stir up the mud the sooner that will happen.

A general comment for everyone:
How would we feel if our work department always faced budget cuts. If we were not able to do our jobs properly because someone at the top had a different agenda. If we try to do our jobs properly we would face loosing them. That is the Ministry of Environment.

The MoE staff, real workers, know that no matter what they do nothing will be done about wind turbine complaints. That is why we don’t get much help from them.

Nothing will be done about 100 other none wind turbine issues as well. That is what the MoE has become.

Our fight isn’t with the MoE local staff. It is with a small number of politicians.

Madasabat isn’t so mad after all.

If he shows, McGuinty will come in the back door, make his speech of platitudes and assorted bs, spin on his heel and exit the back door.

All the rural muns will wonder what happened. See you next year, suckers!

If people want to do something to help folks like the Michauds, then stop using/buying Petro-Canada fuels which is owned by Suncor Energy. The results of no buy will show up in less than a month.

Brilliant!…….not much left to debate in this declaration of rationality in an otherwise chaotic issue!
I would ask that any like-minded Councillor do their best to “lobby” other Councillors that aren’t “up to speed” with this action that will do more for their electorate than any other action taken to-date.
Stand Up!……………Walk Out!

If folks believe that some open discussion on this topic will even be on the agenda are very mistaken. McShifty’s folks will know what’s going on ahead of time. I wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t even show. The point is…trying to discuss something is moot and will not get anyone’s attention. The guy totally dismisses the Auditor General’s report…you think he’s going engage in a discussion at this event? Seriously?? People walking out has a high chance of getting on the evening news…that people in the GTA need to see with an explanation of why. Time has expired on being passive and it’s time to take up an offensive position. Sitting there with a hand up wanting to speak is complacency wrapped in hope resulting from inability to learn and adapt to the reality of the situation. This kind of thing is not people’s first choice, it’s being backed into a corner and pushing out from that corner. There are some that may not like it and that’s understandable. Just respect the fact that the situation has come to this.

Hey Be Heard,
‘spotlight’ Kabuki theatre –
What took you so long to respond?
I do not agree. Period.

Mr. McGuinty is an invited guest @ a private affair.
This is not a meeting to discuss ‘things’.
There will be no question period.
What part do you not understanding?

After 5 years of this, I tend to disagree. Just who are you going to fight with? This is a meeting for rural municipalities. I don’t think there will be many urban muns there.

If the rural councilors don’t stick together over this takeover of rural Ontario by the wind industry…just who will?

I’m convinced the only way to deal with this insane government is to embarrass and humiliate them. That’s all they respond to.

McGuinty, if he even shows, will make his speech

will turn into a question and answer session.

I agree with Foreman, STAY AND FIGHT! Embrass McGuinty and his cabinet. Show the other urban mun’s what’s going on and gain their support. Educate, educate, educate. Walking out will do nothing but add to everyones frustation.

Comment on National Post editorial board: European energy lessons for Dalton McGuinty by David Robinson

David Robinson — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 16:26:03 +0000

Just saw this this morning… I guess there are some NEW lessons…

http://www.thegwpf.org/international-news/5035-green-germany-half-a-million-families-sitting-in-the-dark.html

Many households in Germany are no longer able to pay their electricity bills. As a result, around half a million households are sitting in the dark.

The sharp price increases for electricity and gas is leading to serious payment problems for more and more consumers – even to dark apartments. Because of unpaid bills an estimated 600,000 households in Germany had their power cut off in 2010, said the consumer watch dog Verbraucherzentrale Nordrhein-Westfalen which is based in Düsseldorf. This estimate is based on a survey of local energy providers in Germany’s most populous state.

And so on… See the link for more…

I have to admit that I was tempted to support the call for a province-wide walkout of the conference by municipalities. A sort of “You don’t listen to us so we won’t listen to you” message for Mr. McGuinty. However, after a cooler head prevailed, I think it makes more sense to raise this issue at the conference and “hold his feet to the fire”! Why should our municipal representatives walk out and encourage the rest of us to, in effect, continue to “suffer in silence”? The time for silent resignation to the GEA has passed! It’s time to STAY in the meeting and tell Mr. McGuinty and his cronies that rural Ontario will NOT take this insanity anymore! We’ve had enough of the GEA and the provincial liberal’s inability to tell the difference between truth and fiction. Don’t walk out! Stay there and FIGHT!!

This Liberal provincial government lacks the brains and foresight to make a sound business decision when it comes to the welfare of the people here in this province.. They claim to have created 20,000 jobs.. I say… Show them to me .. Prove it..It’s all B.S.. They have driven away more jobs than they can ever hope to recover… They are fixated with this GEA.. The world around us has seen the light.. McGuinty and the green gang has a big ego problem,. They can’t see it.. Tunnel vision..They need to be promptly removed from office IMHO.. The sooner the better.. The damage done is almost irreparable now. !!Instead of leadership, we get these stumble-bums, blindly stumbling along, hoping somehow, it will all turn up roses.. What a legacy these a–holes have left themselves.. History will remember them.. You can take that to the bank..
