I had posted some time ago about the Riplinger windmill project that is slated for the Waterton area and trying to get it stopped. Angela Tabak who used to be one of the DS locals group has been working diligently to get citizens concerns heard and this project shut down. The damage not only to the local economy but the wildlife in this migration path would be devastating and they need to stop it now. If you feel compelled please give TransAlta a call and leave a message with your concerns.
A quick reminder...
If you haven't yet called TransAlta's Riplinger Hotline to register your opposition to this project, please take a minute to do so. They will be reporting the number of people who called to the AUC when they make application. We cannot have them report that only a small number of community members called and were opposed.
You will be asked to leave a message. Super quick and easy.

Add in “non-budgetary spending” such as EI payouts, plus at least $49 billion just to service the burgeoning national debt and total spending in Carney’s first year in office will hit $554.5 billion.
Even if tax revenues were to remain level with last year — and they almost certainly won’t, given the tariff wars ravaging Canadian industry — we are hurtling toward a deficit that could easily exceed three per cent of GDP, and thus dwarf our ...
