Canada Silently Sells Atomic Crown Corporation

[thepatrickblack]

Since the big issue this Fall's Ontario election is energy, I started doing some extended reading to figure out what the right answer is. Turns out, it's a bigger issue than just Green Act or no Green Act. What do YOU want your energy system to look like? Do you support nuclear or not? Well, Canada is selling out Nuclear Regulatory body (a successful crown corporation). Check this out. http://envirogy.ca/2011/06/24/the-sordid-sale-of-aecl/

Hey where is the old Ontario Hydro...that we all bought and paid for? The old Dome Stadium....I don't understand how things that are bought and payed for by the tax payer can be cheaply sold off to private individuals - it's like paying a tax or tribute to an un-elected offical.

The opposition parties are against it, but now Harper has his power, and his deficit, it probably won't be the first crown corp. to go but I think unless he sell it to China or Russia, I not sure he can find a buyer,the world knows of all the problems. Would you expect anything less from this government? The Tories haven't even started yet and I'm the summer they will be working towards the fall sessions. Just set back and watch what Harper does.

The Conservative Party is in the pocket of big oil.

They'll do anything to protect society from advancing into technologies that aren't oil. Well, at least what they could get away with.
