treehugger Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 I don't how many people were listening to the news a couple of weeks ago about McGuinty's new plan. He wants to have a green audit done on every house that is up for sale. It will cost you $300. Everything that is found "not green" you have to fix it before you sell it. This will put the sellers cost up so you have to charge more and the buyer has to pay more. Where is there any logical sense in this? (eg.) If the buyer buys a house and he wants new windows. he wants to pick them out not some cheapies that the seller had put in. McGuinty's spokesman said he is putting off this job until later. He must think he is actually going to win the election in October. He is a desperate person trying to pay off his huge debt.Also a very stupid man.

Topaz Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 After watching Mike Holmes, I think they should come on the construction business and get theses guys who don't have a license to get one. It's horrible to see what happens to homeowners who get carpenters to do work for them only to find out, they have been had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not impressed. More thievery by the gov. It isn't going through for a while but they plan on reopening the topic in January 2012. Makes me want to sell my house now.

Some of it doesn't seem well thought out but some of it is good. I was happy to see the Becky project complete and increase the efficiency of the Niagara hydro plant. http://www.enviralment.ca/2011/05/17/boring-project-is-a-step-in-the-right-direction/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, it is a truly stupid idea in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
