NB Power sale won’t help debt: auditor general    Auditor General Mike Ferguson says selling NB Power could actually worsen the province’s debt load. (CBC) New Brunswick’s auditor general says the sale of NB Power to Hydro-Québec will not help solve the province’s debt problem.. It becomes quite clear that this is a deal for Irving and other industrial customers only and no one else. I am sick of all of the Liberal red-wash that is being painted over this in a pathetic attempt to convince the province that this sale is a good idea. You know   red is also the colour of debt and deficit too.

Leaked report says gov’t overstating the need for new power lines in Alberta Thu Nov 19, 11:30 PM  EDMONTON – A political battle is reaching a peak in Alberta over whether the province needs billions of dollars worth of new power lines that will be paid for by consumers. 

Wildrose Alliance Leader Danielle Smith  says the conclusions in the EDC report strongly suggest that the Tory government is not doing enough to protect consumers.  There’ve been projections that it’s going to be $200 per year for the average residential bill for the next 15 years,” said Smith.Major power utilities will end up benefiting greatly from Bill 50, but consumers and landowners whose property will be affected by the new power corridors will end up as the big losers, said Smith. “My read of this debate so far is that the government is simply and blindly serving the interests of its corporate sponsors, not the interests of consumers,” she said.

 

With all that supposedly extra surplus income as advertised in  Alberta the local citizens were now to live better off than elsewhere, instead of now continually being gouged with extra costs, and the hidden taxes.. the electrical costs now included..  for Alberta really does not have cheap hydro generated electricity but relies mainly on polluting coal fired generating plants..  and what else next?   GOVERNMENT OF Alberta IS ALSO SAYING IT IS HELPING THE CITIZENS NOT BIG BUSINESS..  http://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/2009/09/25/the-alberta-way/
