The Liberals should be held criminally responsible, for the mess they have created.
(September 18, 2013) The press releases flowing from the Ministry of Energy’s offices have been many over the past several years and claim a variety of wonderful things despite the mundane attributes of the electricity sector.

Wynne is a crook…..plain and simple.
Heather Rivers — Woodstock Sentinel-Review — September 17, 2013
If it’s supposed to be rural funding why has it ended up in the GTA?
That’s the question Oxford MPP and agriculture critic Ernie Hardeman said he asked Premier Kathleen Wynne, who is also Minister of Agriculture and Food, during question period Monday.
Hardeman said he wants to know why she earmarked funds from the Rural Economic Development (RED) Program to four bakery businesses operating as a consortium located in Toronto, Markham and Woodbridge.
“My first question was how she justifies spending this money earmarked for rural Ontario in downtown Toronto,” Hardeman said Tuesday.
He said Wynne seemed to not understand the fund was “to give a leg-up to develop smaller town’s economies.”
The funds, officially announced by Wynne on September 13, will be used to help create…

Investigate Daily — September 18, 2013
OTTAWA, Sept. 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ – “As the science promoted by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) falls into disrepute, reporters face a difficult decision,” said Tom Harris, executive director of the Ottawa, Canada-based International Climate Science Coalition (ICSC). “Should they cover IPCC reports, the next of which will be issued on September 27(th), as if there were no other reputable points of view? Or should they also seek out climate experts who disagree with the UN’s view that we will soon face a human-induced climate crisis?
“With today’s release of Climate Change Reconsidered II: Physical Science (CCR-II – see http://climatechangereconsidered.org/, a 1,200 page report of the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC), it is now much easier for media to adopt the second more balanced approached,” continued Harris. “Co-authored and co-edited by Dr. Craig Idso, Professor Robert Carter, and…

The windweasels go out of their way to hide any information that looks “bad”!
PR Newswire
FALMOUTH, Mass., Sept. 16, 2013
A national study that claims there is “no statistical evidence” that real estate prices near wind turbines are negatively impacted is misleading because it lumps homes close to the turbines with those miles away, according to Wind Wise Massachusetts (WWMA).
“The report’s own data found that homes located within one mile to the turbines decreased in value by 28 percent compared to homes located within 3 to 10 miles from the turbines,” according to Virginia Irvine, president of WWMA (windwisema.org), a statewide alliance of grassroots environmental groups and individuals.
“The study’s authors are just perpetuating the myth that wind turbines are not responsible for significant property losses,” she said.
“The report is also comparing apples with oranges as less than 2.5 percent of the more than 50,000 home sales analyzed in recently released Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory study were within one mile of…

Anne and Ed Fairfield will be interviewed by Dale Goldhawk on his “Fight Back” Show today, please join the call! They will be discussing their recent letter to Kathleen Wynne and her Ministers, the MOE Director Vic Schroter, Tim Hudak and Brian Treble.
This is about a Gas Well situation on Sixteen Road that was properly installed many years ago near the Road Allowance. Now the HAF Wind Energy Project wants to bury the Electrical Collector Line within 5 metres of one Gas Well. The MNR Policies and Regulations say that nothing should be installed within 75 m of a Gas Well, and the proponents have no Engineer’s Report (required) to say otherwise, nor were they asked to produce one.
The problems are these:
This case has reached the point where the Health and Safety of a very densely populated rural area of West Lincoln and Hamilton is threatened if no immediate action is taken. There are 244 homes and families (not just receptors) within 2 km of these 5 Industrial Wind Turbines.
Members of our community have told the MOE last year in the Commenting Process about our Gas Wells concern, yet the proponents and the Ministries granting Approval have not been held to account.
Non-commercial natural gas may be odorless, tasteless, and colourless. A private Gas Well may also produce gas containing Hydrogen Sulphide, which is poisonous and should be treated with caution It is fatal to humans in small concentrations and causes rapid corrosion of pipes.
These Gas Well pipes are very old, and do not need to be corroded any more. They also connect to a house. When we can smell sulphur at our water taps, it is a good indication that Hydrogen Sulphide is around.
The very fact that we have Gas Wells in West Lincoln, and most of us rely on our Water Wells, indicates to us that we have a very short term problem now and a longer term problem ahead with Fracking for the Gas.
Tune in and call in with your questions or concerns to 1-866-740-4740 or 1-416-30-0740 to Dale Goldhawk on Zoomer Radio Am 740 after 11 a.m.
Go Mothers…..they are running scared!
After reading a press release that Minister Chiarelli would be at the Babcock and Wilcox Nuclear facility on Monday Sept 16th, the Mothers Against Wind Turbines decided to drive up to Cambridge. Upon arriving at the event, Marianne Kidd explained to Minister Chiarelli’s aide that our group of Mothers had driven up from the Haldimand/West Lincoln area in order to get some of the Minister’s time to discuss our concerns. After some back and forth, including an attempted kick out by security, the Minister’s aide agreed to give us 5 mins if there was time after the tour.
While waiting in a room away from the “Media”, we questioned whether the meeting would actually happen…but true to their word, the Minister came in to meet with us for what turned out to be approx 15mins.

Wellllll. Liberal offices raided by anti-corruption unit hey? When this UPAC unit finishes cleaning up the corruption mess in Quebec, I wonder if they would mind having a little look-see over here in Ontario.
More than 100 people have been arrested on corruption-related charges since the Quebec scandals erupted several years ago, including figures from municipal politics and the construction industry.
A number of those arrests have been preceded by raids.
Rest of article here:

We need to push the politicians to end this scam, and repair the damage they’ve already done!
Meaford Independent
The first week of the fall session of the Ontario legislature began with Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound MPP Bill Walker pushing local issues to the forefront of debate at Queen’s Park.
Walker’s first Statement before his fellow MPPs in the Legislature was a call on the Liberal government to respect rural Ontario’s veto vote against wind turbines. He urged Liberal Premier Kathleen Wynne to honour her promise and allow a moratorium in communities that have declared themselves as unwilling hosts to wind farms. In the case of Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound, that would mean no wind farms anywhere in Grey and Bruce counties.
“The residents and municipal leaders in my riding share a mutual understanding that wind turbines have a negative impact on the residents’ health and the economic well-being of their communities,” he said. “This Premier explicitly promised she would not impose any wind project on any community that did not…

What price do the towns think is fair, to turn a blind eye, to the suffering of their rural residents?
By Jennifer Vo, Sachem
Haldimand County council promises improvements to rural areas in the next few years, as council members begin to firm up the list of projects that could benefit from the Community Vibrancy Fund.
During the month of September, the councillors from wards 1, 2, 4 and 5 are working to compile a wish list of the items that they say their residents hoped would get addressed using the money collected from the Community Vibrancy Fund.
“We’re getting the lion’s share of it,” said Councillor Fred Morison, whose ward is slated to get about $13.5 million of the vibrancy fund. He said he’s currently in the process of establishing meetings with stakeholders to determine a list of possible projects that could benefit from the funds.
“Certainly, gravel road conversion is high on everyone’s list, which is certainly worthwhile. There’s things going on down at the Lions Hall in…
