WASAGA

Water, fossil fuels renewable energy
Once again, serious, impactful legislation has very little consultation time and while Queen's Park wasn't sitting.
These proposals threaten our water, lock us into fossil fuels, and sacrifice affordable, renewable energy—putting our children’s future at risk unless we act now.

Darlington Nuclear - U.S. involvement
Regulatory-approved Darlington SMR project, has the bulk of ownership and long-term financial returns still flowing to U.S.-controlled corporations yet it's one of the 'nation-building' projects.
Call on the Prime Minister, the Ontario Premier, and both provincial and federal Energy Ministers, to consider how much of our future energy security - jobs and profits - should still be going to the U.S.​

It's not too late. The Greenbelt grab, Bill 23, was reversed a year after becoming law. Queen's Park is back in session.
Bill 5, the Protecting Ontario by Unleashing our Economy Act, raises serious red flags. It goes too far, too fast - drastically reducing public and scientific consultation, gutting protections for endangered species and the environment, sidelining Indigenous voices on issues that directly affect their lands and heritage and prohibits any legal action.

C-15:
Cabinet can bypass any legislation except criminal code
in 'public interest'
Canada's 'Bill C- 15' keeps going where C-5 left off...
Just like Ontario's recent Bill 60 that expanded ministerial and provincial power to bypass or override existing policies and protections, Bill C-15 would allow federal ministers to bypass key environmental, health, and Indigenous rights protections under the vague banner of “public interest.” Contact your MP today and demand that these override powers be removed or strictly limited — our laws must protect people and the planet.​

Minister Lecce: Get with Clean, Green Energy
Copy and paste the following letter into your email
Honourable Minister Lecce,
Despite being disconcerted when you assumed your new role as Minister of Energy and Electrification by the combativeness of your initial comments claiming that anyone supporting non-carbon emissions power generation was an ideologue, recent overtures seemed to indicate a possible turnaround regarding renewable energy sources and the call for new projects.
Hopeful for a 100% renewable energy power grid, you then stated that the government is energy agnostic and that gas plants will be part of the energy mix. Can we assume that if a financially viable coal plant was offered, that given your agnosticism, you would select this as an option? No, you would not because you know that coal is a terrible fossil fuel that contributes significantly to global warming. Therefore, you are not agnostic about what fuel is used to generate power in Ontario.
Gas should be on your list as another fossil fuel that contributes to global warming and as such should not be part of the future plans for Ontario energy generation. There are so many sources of information for a renewable energy future for Ontario, yet Enbridge and other gas firms seem to capture the attention of companies like Atura Power, and your attention. The future of Ontario’s economy (and the world’s) is new leading edge clean technology not legacy fossil fuel firms.
Two examples of the myriad sources outlining a renewable energy future for Ontario that is comprehensive, affordable, sustainable and good for the environment and the economy:
The Big Switch - Electricity in Canada | Canadian Climate Institute
Shifting Power: Zero-Emissions Electricity Across Canada by 2035
Please consider and forge a new innovative path for a carbon emissions-free Ontario.
Thank you for your time and attention to creating a better world for our children and grandchildren
