Our family lives within…

Our family lives within walking distance of the wind farm and have followed it every step of the way for the past 10 years. The public was given numerous opportunities for consultation and appeal on this project. The protests against it were addressed and none met even the legal case to cancel it. None of it withstood the measure of scrutiny, because most of it was fueled by a few, well-funded individuals that simply didn’t want it. Then the PC government, with inaccurate data, ignored what had been reviewed, scrutinized and approved by the Ministries and legal channels. It totally disregard of what was already vetted by the REA and judicial process. The PC government created legislation to kill the project – without review of the facts, without public consultation, without the right of appeal, and without even providing notice to the developer. How unfair, how un-democratic. This is not the province I was once proud to have lived in my entire life and it makes me feel embarrassed and ashamed to be an Ontarian.
