E C A r e v i e w C o r o n a t i o n / S t e t t l e r , A b D e c e m b e r 1 5 ' 1 6 9 Food or over-priced electricity Cont’d from Pg 7 Last year nearly 60,000 Ontario families/electrical customers had their electricity cut off. Many are being forced to choose between buying food or paying for over-priced electricity. Some can no longer afford air conditioning, electric dryers, or even keeping the room temperature comfortable in winter. The Ontario Auditor General says by 2032, this forced overpayment for electricity by consumers will reach $170 billion. Details work Cont’d from Pg 3 It will immediately begin work on fleshing-out the details of a potential single-tier governance model for the region, based on the principles that have already been agreed to. The committee will focus on what the governance structure would look like, such as how many elected officials there should be and what their boundaries should look like. They will also be working on ideas to ensure there is still strong local representation within the regional model. “We need to ensure that communities and citizens at-large have a strong local voice within a regional governance model. That is important if we are to be successful,” said Anita Miller, Mayor of Hardisty. The committee will report back to FIP with a draft model in late-February or early-March. More public consultations on the initiative will follow in March and April. Details such as taxation rates, services levels and merging of bylaws could take up to three years to finalize after a new governance model is implemented. “The goal is to ensure we can maintain or increase service levels for all citizens at a cost they are willing to pay,” said Gail Watt, member of the sub-committee and Mayor of Daysland. “Acting in silos and protecting what we have is no longer an option – it will do nothing to make our communities attractive to people and businesses.” The FIP Committee was established in 2003 to find local solutions for regional issues and is made up of elected representatives from all municipalities within the Flagstaff region: Towns of Daysland, Hardisty, Killam and Sedgewick, the Villages of Forestburg, Heisler, Alliance, Lougheed and Flagstaff County. More information on FIP and the initiative can be found at www.flagstaffunited.ca Ontario’s business community and even the mayor of Oshawa are crying out for relief. Manufacturers are fleeing because they can’t afford the electricity. They’re taking investment and jobs with them. Ontario used to be Canada’s economic heartland. Today it’s on welfare. An article in the Windsor Star put it this way: “A potent symbol of Ontario’s economic slide came in 2009, when the province became eligible for equalization payments, becoming a have-not province for the first time ever. That would have been almost unimaginable a generation ago. Seven years later, however, the receipt of equalization payments has become business-asusual in Ontario.” Moving away from low-priced coal power has cost Ontarians billions—not millions—and these are the same policies that Rachel Notley is now seeking for Albertans.
