Good comment “Windy”. I am glad to see someone can see through these whiners. It’s all about the money since none of them are getting any!

I don’t understand any of you complainers! There is so much other things affecting human health more serious, as well as our negative impact on the environment which is a bigger concern. I bet most of you smoke, drive big trucks, or live close to that HUGEEEE NUCLEAR PLANT IN THE AREA. Which leads me to consider the possibility that most of you are being paid off by these large organization so the executive can line their pockets with more money all by creating a polluting source of energy. Give me a break about the noise, there’s worse things you probably do that is affecting your health.
It’s just mind boggling the way you guys think. Most of these projects or programs will be;
1. Bringing jobs in before and after the project’s completed (AND I can see from some the other articles that people are losing jobs left and right)
2. Some are even establishing community funds
3. And some are community-owned. Meaning you decide what happens
All your beliefs are based on a few people saying the sound is “affecting their health.” I don’t like it when people smoke in public and I breath in the second-hand smoke, you don’t see me running to parliament saying get rid of cigarettes!

People live near airports, have trains running through there background, or live across the street from a fire hall, THEY DEAL WITH IT, they don’t pick-it infront of these places asking them to move. All these places have a purpose and its to benefit you and your kids in the long run.

I KNOW YOU DON’T CARE NOW BECAUSE YOUR STILL A LIVE, but think of your love ones growing up or the people around you and what the state of the environment will be in when they are around. Most of you will dis-regard this because your being paid off by one of these organizations to be against HAVING CLEAN AIR FOR THE FUTURE!!

WAKE UP! – Bring on all your comments, I know who your in bed with and people like you will eventually be exposed by your fat bank accounts.

The Drennans know of people who ARE affected by turbines that are on properties already…so YES they are fighting for something that IS happening to people. They want to fight it so NO ONE else has to deal with the turbines. DO YOU have a property in Ashfield that is NOT worth as much anymore? Do YOU have to live beside them?? Are YOU not able to build on your own property now because your neighbour is putting up a turbine?? Have YOU bought your dream farm to realize that it is turning into a turbine nightmare?? When you answer YES to all these questions..THEN we’ll listen to you. KEEP UP THE FIGHT Drennans!!!

I got good vibes from Justice A. Duncan Grace during my brief time in the courtroom last Friday and believe he will make the right decision for the Drennans – the trail-blazers for the rest of rural Ontario. However, we ALL need to think only POSITIVE thoughts about his decision. Just imagine how a judgment to dismiss the motion by K2 Wind Project et al will change the momentum of this cause. BELIEVE that it is possible. We should start planning the celebration now!

We need to help SWEAR (Safe Wind Energy for All Residents) support Shawn and Trish Drennan in their fight that will help all residents of Ontario. The Superior Court Hearing heard that HMQ and K2 appear to need you to be hurt before you can have an injunction.
The government of Ontario and Canada have told us for years in many ways that Prevention of a problem is preferred over treating the problem at a later stage. As the analogy used during the hearing that if a vehicle is coming fast toward you you should wait till it hits you and then sue after you have been injured or killed. How reasonable is that? We are being educated that the approach in driving is to be defensive and take action before the accident happens. That is what the Drennans are trying to do.
In the case with Wind Turbines we have evidence that some people will be harmed. Therefore the Ontario Government is permitting the Wind Developers to harm a certain number of individuals in our communities with full knowledge of possible effects. How would you feel being collateral damage for wind energy production that we don’t need and cannot use?
Keep up the fight, Ontario!

Good points, Ron, especially when the Drennans wanted to put up their own wind turbine. What a joke.

They should just put up a nuclear plant instead.
Can’t believe anyone would actually spend their time fighting wind farms, who are adhering to the noise levels policies. Creates jobs in the area. Maybe a slight change in the cost of electricity for the immediate counties. These people are just parasites, trying to sue for damages that haven’t happened.

Can somebody explain to me why this project is being pushed ahead at this time? We have a chronic and expensive electricity oversupply now. Other than the fact it’s 3 big corporations, including the jumping on of US giant Pattern Energy and the Liberal “chosen one” Samsung, this makes no sense. The IESO is saying that unless they can curtail wind production, it’s going to cost us $200,000/year as well as increasing emissions. Duh.
We now know the thanks to FOI releases that the MOE hid and refused to address complaints and at the same time we are waiting for health studies that could prevent alot of problems in the future.
I think the $5,000/plate Liberal fundraiser from the energy sector explains the situation best.
The Drennans are being put in a situation no one should be put in for NO GOOD reason.
