Selling Hydro One

-


My Cousin in New Zealand has some input when governments make poor
decisions that are detrimental to segments of the
population that do not have the means to cope. The same thing 
could happen to Ontarians.

We worked for this Company for nearly 40 years and have seen it
go from a World recognized company to a comedy of errors caused by 
a Liberal government who have no idea what they are
doing.

Hi Peter- Our electricity companies were publicly owned until a 
right-wing government in the 1990s decided privatisation was the 
way to go. Result? Rocketing prices for consumers, fat profits for 
the private owners....we wish we could go back to the way things 
were. Old people here don't get any rebate for rising power 
prices. Each winter there are tales of old folks staying in bed 
all day to keep warm, because they can't afford the power bills. I 
reckon that like water, power is a public good and shouldn't be 
priced as a commodity which someone can make unreasonable profits 
from....Steph

Hydro One is owned by Ontario taxpayers and Energy Minister Bob 
Chiarelli offered assurances Tuesday that they will continue to 
own a "significant ????????" ownership interest in Hydro One.

No A380's For Air Canada

    Boeing's twin-engined Dreamliner will be a much smaller aircraft -- seating 200 to 300 passengers -- with the latest engines and materials, and upturned wingtip "winglets," for maximum efficiency. For the cost of a single Airbus A380 (about $250-$300 million), an airline could conceivably have two or three 787/7E7 Dreamliners, or more. Declining wages for airline pilots are likely to make such a multiple-plane scenario less costly than before.   Air Canada is targeting seven major Canadian cities as departure points for the long-range Boeing 787 Dreamliner. The first plane in the carrier’s order for 37 Dreamliners will arrive in the first quarter of 2014, followed by six more of the aircraft that year, said Ben Smith, Air Canada’s chief commercial officer. "Starting in the first quarter 2014, AirCanada expects to take delivery of our first of 37 Boeing 787 Dreamliners aircraft, comprised of (15) 787-8s and (22) 787-9s,"   The carrier will now expect six 78...

Canada and the F-35

-
Image
The Boeing X-32, left, and the Lockheed X-35 competed for the DoD contract to produce the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) in 1997. Both companies received 0 million grants to build prototypes. The new single-engine, Mach-1 capable aircraft needed to be stealthy and provide robust situational awareness to the pilot during attacks on ground targets and when fighting in air-to-air engagements. It also needed to meet the specifications of the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps as well as nation partners. Lockheed won the competition which would eventually produce the F-35 Lightning II.
