Ontario’s cap-and-trade system, in contrast, comes with risks. Ontario has all but promised that the money raised by emissions caps will not be used to cut other taxes. Instead, the hundreds of millions or billions raised each year will be “reinvested” in “projects that reduce greenhouse gases and help businesses remain competitive.” In other words, targeted subsidies – the lobbyists’ delight.
The Globe and Mail
Monday’s announcement that Ontario is about to take steps to reduce greenhouse gases contained one bit of good news, one serving of bad news – and one giant question mark.
The good news? Ontario plans to put a price on carbon, with the goal of reducing greenhouse-gas emissions.
The question mark? Ontario’s plan for a cap-and-trade system – which would cap carbon emissions from each sector of the economy, and allow trading of pollution permits – contains few details, including no costs or pricing.
And the bad news? Ontario will not be following in the footsteps of British Columbia – whose carbon tax is Canada’s simplest, cheapest, best carbon-reduction strategy. Cap-and-trade, in contrast, is not transparent, has a distinctly mixed track record and runs the risk of being captured and gamed by powerful interests. Lobbyists, start your engines.
For all of that, Ontario, which is linking up with existing cap-and-trade systems in Quebec and California, could end up building an excellent program. Then again, it could also end up delivering Green Energy Act, Round II. The first incarnation was an industrial strategy camouflaged as a pollution-reduction solution. It doled out hefty subsidies to favoured businesses, paid for by electricity consumers. It was arguably the Liberal government’s biggest mistake. Have they learned from it? Read article
‘[excerpt] MEDIA RELEASE
Precedent – Ontario Court of Appeal – Turtles vs. Wind Turbines – Slow and Steady Wins
Toronto – April 20, 2015
The Ontario Court of Appeal has reversed a lower court ruling regarding a Renewal Energy Approval of the 9 turbine Ostrander Point industrial wind project. The decision reinstates the key initial finding of the Environmental Review Tribunal (ERT) that serious and irreversible harm to threatened Blanding’s Turtles will occur if the project operates as approved. “We’re very pleased. The court has ruled in favour of protecting the environment, which is what we’ve asked for throughout“ said Myrna Wood of the successful appellant Prince Edward County Field Naturalists. “The decision is undoubtedly important” said Eric Gillespie, its legal counsel. “This is the first renewable energy case to reach the Court of Appeal. The Court has supported our client’s fundamental concerns and affirmed a number of legal principles that clearly will be relevant to other appeals.” The question of remedy has been directed back to the ERT. For further information contact Myrna Wood […] or Eric Gillespie […]’
Can we get an accounting, in Canadian dollars, of the resources spent on the Ostrander Point wind energy fiasco?
“Let’s go straight to the farmers”
Good day:
As you know, the big-name wind developers are already putting proposals forward for new contracts in Ontario…and they are scrambling to get more farm owners to sign leases.
Let’s level the playing field!!
We think an advertisement in Ontario’s premier agricultural paper, the weekly Ontario Farmer, with a message on why wind power is NOT a win-win for everyone, would be very effective.
The paper goes to 26,000 landowners–we propose a large, professionally designed ad to get that message out.
Problem: cost. A one-time ad will be about $1,700 (with tax).
Can we count on you to help out with the cost? It works out to about $17 per turbine that Ontario is going to contract for.
Send us a cheque to PO Box 11059, 105 Guildwood Parkway, Scarborough ON M1E 1N0 (mark it Ontario Farmer ad)
or
send us a donation using PayPal—our payee email is windconcernsONT@gmail.com
Let’s get the truth out there!!!

‘A Challenge From Climate Change Regulations’
“A report issued in February by the Analysis Group, a consulting firm based in Boston, concluded that there were ways for states to avoid blackouts and brownouts during the power transition. The report found, if states were to adopt interstate cap-and-trade plans, along the lines of the program in place in California, they could cut pollution while keeping the lights on.”

Earth Month is Every Month
‘[excerpt] April is our 45th Anniversary! This years theme is “Our Planet In Peril” There is good reason for your attention to be directed and to act on such an important subject. There are literally hundreds of problems and issues plaguing our global environment, i.e., climate change, global warming and their effects; and the continuation of polluting our delicate ecosystem just to mention a few. So how do we continue to resolve them?
One of our major goals as a not-for-profit IRS 501(c)(3) PC organization of Earth Month Network, Inc. is to help mobilize grass roots programs: in part to eradicate “Environmental Apathy” by providing needed: Awareness, Knowledge, Education, Stewardship and Activism towards global environmental issues.

‘[excerpt] So, what’s the motivation of the funders? One of the few documents that provide insights into the funding of the climate movement is a strategy paper, Design to Win: Philanthropy’s Role in the Fight Against Global Warming. According to Design to Win, the overarching goal of voter and consumer education campaigns is to create a policy context for a massive shift in investment capital and a billion-dollar market for renewable energy. Without a negative foil of bad press about fossil fuels, it would be much harder to justify the billions of dollars that government has invested in solar and wind.’
But nothing on corruption!
Hey Barbara,
from your link:
http://www.albertaoilmagazine.com/2014/07/vivian-krause-great-green-trade-barrier
Maybe more about how money gets moved around to accomplish desired agenda?
I think you mean the leftist money –
now caught up in the
Liberal Agenda – through Social Justice Agenda
and the Premier of Ontario.
Is big oil money leftist? Oil money/influence is clearly involved in this cap-and-trade-agenda that is being foisted upon Ontario and Canada.
Hey Barbara,
What do you mean by – ‘big oil’?
Aren’t Exxon Mobil and Suncor big oil?
Wynne could not get cap-and -trade through with just leftist support. Those on the “right” were also needed to make this look like a consensus.
The Suzuki foundation which is represented on the Ecofiscal Commission Canada has received big oil money.
Hey Barbara,
Let’s keep it simple:
Oil company kills 1 duck – maybe 2 or, maybe 6.
What’s the fine?
Wind company kills 1 bird, maybe an eagle, maybe a bat.;
but who’s kidding who? – we know better.
What’s the fine?
The general public very likely doesn’t even know who is backing cap-and-trade in Canada.
The public has been led to believe that big oil would not support cap-and-trade.

“Pricing carbon at the provincial level is counter-intuitive”
‘[excerpt] Eco-friendly. Eco-tourism. Eco-systems. Eco-driving. Umberto Eco. Ooops. Umberto apart, “eco” is everywhere these days. But eco-separatism? That concept sprang to mind while reading a new report from Canada’s Ecofiscal Commission, a group of distinguished Canadian economists (mainly economists though all distinguished) headed up by my friend and McGill colleague, Christopher Ragan.
The Commission formed itself last year to revive former Liberal leader Stéphane Dion’s “Green Shift”— taxing carbon more and other things less — presumably in the belief that Dion’s rather spectacular failure in the 2008 election, the lowest Liberal popular vote since 1867, was due to factors other than his most important policy proposal. The Commission’s latest report makes several general recommendations, including, as indeed current Liberal leader Justin Trudeau has argued, that the provinces should move forward on pricing carbon and also gradually make their polices, whether carbon tax or cap-and-trade, more stringent.’

The only thing farmers should be asking themselves – is:
Does Don McCabe pick his nose – while talking?
– or is that too draconian?
Wynne needs farm organizations like the OFA to help provide the needed consensus for cap-and-trade.
Seems the OFA is willing to provide that needed consensus.

Since Ontario is joining with Quebec in a cap-and-trade agreement it’s handy to know how these cap-and-trade arrangements came to be in both provinces. Then both situations can compared.
Hey Barbara,
Notice the ‘Big’…….
The Left craves power not money, and that makes it much more frightening.
‘[excerpt] One of them is material equality as the preeminent moral goal. Another is the villainy of corporations. The bigger the corporation, the greater the villainy.
Thus, instead of the devil, the Left has Big Pharma, Big Tobacco, Big Oil, the “military-industrial complex,” and the like. Meanwhile, Big Labor, Big Trial Lawyers, and — of course — Big Government are left-wing angels.
And why is that? Why, to be specific, does the Left fear big corporations but not big government? The answer is dogma — a belief system that transcends reason.
No rational person can deny that big governments have caused almost all the great evils of the last century, arguably the bloodiest in history. Who killed the 20 to 30 million Soviet citizens in the Gulag Archipelago — big government or big business? Hint: There were no private businesses in the Soviet Union.
Who deliberately caused 75 million Chinese to starve to death — big government or big business? Hint: See previous hint. Did Coca-Cola kill 5 million Ukrainians?
Did Big Oil slaughter a quarter of the Cambodian population? Would there have been a Holocaust without the huge Nazi state? Whatever bad things big corporations have done is dwarfed by the monstrous crimes — the mass enslavement of people, the deprivation of the most basic human rights, not to mention the mass murder and torture and genocide — committed by big governments.
How can anyone who thinks rationally believe that big corporations rather than big governments pose the greatest threat to humanity? The answer is that it takes a mind distorted by leftist dogma. If there is another explanation, I do not know what it is.

in Ontario.
That’s big – because they can do
anything they want.
This is a let’s make a deal situation. The free flow of oil/gas for cap-and-trade. Then throw in the wind along with it.
The present government needs money and cap-and-trade is any easy way to get the money.
if you know how cap-and-trade was done in Quebec, then follow events as to how this is now being done in Ontario and this will explain the situation.
