Stop the Madness

Who likes junk mail day? Ours had a Liberal election pamphlet between the Walmart and Giant Tiger flyers. In that pamphlet it claims “I, David Suzuki, endorse what Mr. McGuinty has done – absolutely! This is a great plan. July 20, 2011”.

What’s David doing and why is he saying something like that? David knows that McGuinty’s green plan includes building NEW gas-fired hydro generation plants right now and will have to build many more to backup those industrial wind turbines and solar farms for those windless and sunless days we get. David Suzuki has been saying along that gas-generated electricity is bad for our health. On Suzuki’s website it says “77 per cent of particulates from natural gas plants are dangerously small. These fine particulates have the greatest impact on human health because they by-pass our bodies’ natural respiratory filters and end up deep in the lungs. In fact, many studies have found no safe limit for exposure to these substances.”

So does this now mean it’s ok to harm everyone in Ontario? It certainly sounds like that to me. Is this what you want your provincial government to do? Instead of making the air cleaner as McGuinty claims, he is making it even WORSE and David Suzuki thinks that FINE! As if we don’t already have enough stacked against us with dirty coal electrical plants, the possibly of nuclear radiation leaks from nuclear power plants, long waiting times at hospitals, hydro costs being TOO expensive, a provincial debt that’s absolutely scary and the list can go on and on. It is time for a change. We need a government that will stop this madness. Charley Urbanek Port Elgin
