U.S. wind power company seeks $475M in NAFTA claim

Canadian taxpayers are facing a $475-million free-trade claim from an American company that alleges the Ontario government invented scientific pretexts to stop wind farms in the Great Lakes.
That’s on top of a $500-million lawsuit against the province by Ontario-based Trillium Power Wind Corp. over the same “temporary” ban (now five years old and counting), and an Ontario Provincial Police investigation into whether government officials destroyed emails and documents that should have been kept as evidence.
[…]
Those filings include extracts from numerous emails government officials sent each other, complaining about how frustrating it was to try to come up with scientific explanations for things the politicians had chosen to do for political reasons.
The emails were obtained by Windstream through access to information and during the course of document production as part of the legal proceedings.

Why Is There Always A Big Screen TV?

Kevin Libin;

In Canada, the outcome of adopting the UN declaration may be less bloody, but it surely won’t be free from conflict. Until the Trudeau government came along, Ottawa’s major concern about endorsing the declaration was that it could be seen as giving First Nations (and possibly Métis people) the right to veto any development that affects them. Given how difficult it already is for ordinary industrial projects to navigate the objections of special interest groups, including First Nations, that’s an especially well-founded concern. The prime minister has already frustrated the energy sector by adding extra complications to the federal review process to indulge the green lobby. By endorsing the UN’s declaration, he may enhance his personal brand of being soft on issues where the Tories came off steely, but he will also certainly make it more difficult to get things built in this country.

Your Moral And Intellectual Superiors

And now, the echo chamber is mad — but not at Ben Rhodes for what he said. They’re mad at Samuels for getting the story they didn’t–or didn’t even see was there, and they’re mad at him for what he reported. The Washington Post has published three different pieces on Samuels, none favorable, including one by the editor of the book section. The Post is mad of course because the Samuels piece publicly shamed the paper–after all, its main brief is to cover the local industry–the workings of the government of the United States. And yet as the article makes plain, Post reporters and especially columnists got spun and conned about the Iran deal. But much worse than that is that the Post got scooped on the story explaining how gullible they are. Scooped by the New York Times, in their own backyard on the biggest foreign policy story of the past four years! That’s embarrassing.”

We Don’t Need No Stinking Giant Fans

We get letters…

SK Power is pushing wind power and I want farmers to know there can be problems with allowing the ass backward things on their land if they do not get good legal advice.  US farmers and Ont. farmers are experiencing what happens when the bloody things crash and burn.
The story: “Huron East farmers hit with $32 million liens by wind turbine construction”.  
Sask Power seems to be wanting to get this through ASAP but farmers need to be aware of what is happening and what the consequences can be. The bureaucrats don’t give a damn what happens and you are such a good voice for the oppressed maybe we can get SK Power to step back. 


Wake up, SaskParty. Bring your crown corporation to heel. These are the sort of issues that build to break popular governments.
Spread the word.

This is the new “skyline” near Pincher Creek.
