“Years of poor energy policies like the Green Energy Act have cost this province jobs, and forced people into the difficult situation of deciding whether to pay the mortgage or heat the house,” remarked Hillier. The Lanark County event, organized by local businessman Doug Leitch, is being held at the Carleton Place Farmers’ Market at noon on April 4th. “This is an opportunity for electricity customers to pull together and demonstrate their objection to this government’s bad energy policies,” added Hillier. “We’ve got to let the Premier know that we’ve had enough.”
