  1. Reminder that “green” industries only ever created jobs in communist China. Pollution has not, in fact, been reduced—the industries that created it were moved to China.

    Our masters were never going to guarantee wholesome food and clean water and air for the children of north American factory workers who might grow up to compete for their brats’ places at Harvard and Yale. People whose brains are irreversibly damaged by lead poisoning and their lungs ruined by smog can’t organize or wage successful slave revolts.

  2. I would like to see Doug Ford errect a giant Mike Harris statue at Bloor and Younge.

    1. and a Kathleen Wynne statue outside a sewage plant. Except that would be an insult to the sewage plant.

  4. Good news for Birds Bats and Consumers no more money wasted on eyesore wind turbines,solar panels and high electric bills

  5. Premier Ford is moving fast to correct the disaster that Ontario was under the Liberals. Good for him and his government.

  6. Amazing what can be accomplished when you do not pretend to care what the lefties/protesters/media/talking heads think or say.
    No need for a gazillion studies or nuanced sort-of-agreement with the other side…. they will hate you and denigrate everything you do anyway. So forget the C.A.V.E.’s and just do what is best for the country (Trump) or province (Ford).
    Any conservative (in name) politicians out there seeing that it can be done?
    But it takes believing in the true realities of economics and society, not just a desire to get elected on the basis of being not quite as bad as the other side.

  7. The delicious irony is the only way juthtin Sockmonkey can hope to slow down Ford or obstruct the progress he is making is to table legislation which would force him to reconvene Parliament.

  9. I have the friggin’ bird choppers down the road from me. I can see one from the front lawn. I wouldn’t mind NOT seeing it. That would be a big improvement.

    Maybe they’ll build another coal plant at Nanticoke, and the Liberals will be banished to the outer darkness forever. That would be -sweet-.

    1. That fiasco should be the poster child for the stupidity of the global warming scam. They just recently finished the demolition of Nanticoke and were bragging about how they were going to have a 44 MW solar installation built on the grounds. Bragging about scrapping 4,000 MW of continuous reliable power with what will likely supply less than 10 MW on average. Hopefully that is a project that will be cancelled.

      1. Replace 4000 MW with 44 MW? – welcome to “progressive” mathematics. This is why lawyers like Catherine McKenna should stay out of anything using numbers.

  10. And now Ford is going to work with Moe to battle the carbon tax scam. Sunny days…sunny days! Please let Alberta kick our own socialist hack out next year for the trifecta!

    2. I’m not a Manitoban, nor do I wish to be but where in hell is Premier Pallister when it comes to standing up for his province against Trudeau’s tax grab? Moe and Ford have stepped up to the plate but it appears that Pallister is content to cower in the dugout until the game is over. And I thought this guy was a conservative. Anyone with the intelligence exceeding that of a tomato plant knows that the alternative to the Conservatives in Manitoba would be a complete disaster but c’mon man, display some intestinal fortitude and stand up with Sask and Ontario.

      2. I’m not sure of Manitoba’s financial health but perhaps Pallister needs the revenue. Since Manitoba is mostly hydro, the carbon tax is mostly a petroleum fuel tax instead of a more painful and hated electricity tax.

        I think if the federal and provincial governments would have exempted heating and electricity from the carbon tax then the CT might have been tolerated. This would be similar to exempting the GST/PST/HST from essential products. The GST also has a deduction mechanism to prevent a “cascading” tax, I think. Does the carbon tax?

    3. Red Rachel should join in the fun. Given the social licence she got for it the first time, she should tell the Spawn that Alberta will “think about” a carbon tax after the Trans Mountain expansion is complete.

  11. More important is the government decision to halt the Prince Edward Co White Pines Wind project. This is the one where local residents battled the foreign developer and the Wynne government for 10 years. During the campaign the IESO approved a go ahead for the project, even though Ford had campaigned against further Wind projects, and Wynne had thrown in the towel. The developer speeded up construction to get the towers up and present an obstacle to their removal. Ford unmoved, canceled it anyway, now the company is whining for compensation. Read about it here:
    http://wellingtontimes.ca/rules/
    I note on the IESO site this statement: “The IESO is governed by an independent Board with a Chair and Directors appointed by the Government of Ontario.”
    When he has time Ford should seriously look at the makeup of that board and make some significant changes.

  12. Great news ….maybe we can take our country back one bird blender at a time .

    1. bird blender – just remember these are nice clean greenpeace bird kills. So its all ok 🙁

  13. PETjr part deux, one-and-done, we can hope.
    keep clingin’ to that Dion-era green tax scam, JT, it looks good on ya, hair and all.

  14. Good news because solar and wind serve no practical purpose on the grid. They can’t be used for baseload power or as a peaking plant, which are the two main requirements for the power production side of the electricity system. As I’ve said before, wind and solar have a parasitical relationship with conventional power.

    Parasite : 1. (Biology) an animal or plant that lives in or on another (the host) from which it obtains nourishment. The host does not benefit from the association and is often harmed by it. 2. a person who receives support or advantage from another without giving any useful or proper return

    Because of their unreliability as stand alone power generators, wind and solar power require conventional power to ensure a 24/7 uninterrupted power supply. Despite this glaring flaw, renewables were given the pole position for access to the grid, huge subsidies and other beneficial mandates, without being required to provide a minimum threshold of reliability or dispatchable power. Conventional power is the reliable, dispatchable power workhorse that is weakened by being shackled to heavily subsidized and politically favoured intermittent wind and solar production. Wind and solar weakens conventional power viability, which in turn weakens the reliability of electricity system we all depend on. Conventional power thrives without wind and solar, wind and solar dies without conventional power backup and generous government policies.

    1. “a parasitical relationship with conventional power.”
      Correct and Ont has endured over a dozen tears of Liberal cronyism and favouritism with Wind development companies. The Independent Energy System Operator (IESO) alluded to above is the board that attempted to steamroll one last mega Wind project just before the Liberals were trashed by voters. With that length of time to appoint directors by Liberal government, just how “independent” is the IESO? Ford has made a start so far.

      1. Yes, carbon taxes and green projects are exempt from having to get a social licence or a community buy-in. They also don’t have any negative externalities, apparently. Reminds of how the economists who calculate that the fossil fuel industry has very little positive impact on GDP, wages or direct and indirect jobs use a very different calculation to find that Canadian Arts and Cultural industries (or supply management, aerospace, autos) are worth a bazillion in those same categories and must be protected at all cost.

        1. Green projects didn’t even need First Nations support. An exploration company applied for a trail permit so they could bring in a drill to explore for gold. While they were negotiating with First Nations someone (?) put in a 20 foot wide gravel road for a distance of over 2 km and at the end a 2 acre clearing with a giant wind turbine, sitting on concrete and surrounded by fresh gravel. No consultation, no payments to First Nations. This made them (FN) even more upset with the exploration people. Just north of Sault Ste. Marie, ON.

          1. Why in He!! are we making payments to these rent seekers in the first place, we do not need their permission to do what is good for the country as a whole. That should be decided by the Federal Government, however that would require a Federal Government with some balls and not the limp wristed crowd pleasers that currently hold power.

  16. We dont need anymore stupid taxes on anything its like Liberal Democrats always want taxes on everything we enjoy to pay for their little pet projects
