Amherst Island is a beautiful island in Lake Ontario - and the site of a proposed wind farm development. These inefficient, massively-subsidized wind turbines are being put up without consultation from the residents of Amherst Island.
A Petition to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario
To the Legislative Assembly of Ontario:
Whereas, there is significant evidence that the proposed wind turbine project for Amherst Island will have long term negative consequences for the environment, health and prosperity of Islanders;
And Whereas, the Green Energy Act pays exorbitant subsidies that will benefit a few at significant cost to the many, to create power that is unneeded, and that the majority of residents have expressed their opposition to the project;
We, the undersigned, petition the Legislative Assembly of Ontario as follows:
That the Liberal government now respect the will of the residents of Amherst Island, and cancel the contract with Algonquin power immediately.

Why are we paying extremely high rates here, giving our hydro to the U.S. for next to nothing and then buying it back at ridiculous rates .
We need to get to the bottom of the problem at hydro one and start looking after Ontarians
No one who works for Hydro one or any other goverment job diserves or needs to be paid more than $150.00 per year [ this excuse that the government uses that they need to pay high wages to get good people obviously does not work, get rid of the bums there would be a line up of good people to fill all of the jobs ]
