Ottawa: Lansdowne development opponents present alternative plan

leave a comment

Special to The Canadian

The man behind an alternative plan for the revitalization of Lansdowne Park says his vision is ready to be put into action should a judge halt the deal between the city and Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group.

Arguments in the legal challenge of the $300-million redevelopment of Lansdowne Park wrapped up last week, and Senior Justice Charles Hackland is expected to render a decision by the end of the summer as to whether the city broke municipal or provincial regulations by entering into a partnership with OSEG without seeking other bids.

The decision could pave the way for the city to begin construction on the long-awaited project, or it could force the city to alter its plans for the public space.

Lansdowne Park Conservancy head John Martin said if the judge rules against the city, his plan is ready.

Canadians can now further save on home energy bills

leave a comment

Edited by Peter Tremblay

NC — Conserving energy in the home during the winter months makes financial sense for homeowners who see their energy bills skyrocket as the weather gets colder. And with as much as half of the energy used in your home going to heating and cooling, making smart decisions about your home’s heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system can have a big effect on your utility bills — and your comfort.

“One great way to help reduce your energy consumption is to make sure your attic insulation is topped-up as part of regular home maintenance,” says David Flood, insulation expert at Owens Corning. “This ensures that the heat is kept in the house and any drafts are kept out, saving homeowners up to 28 per cent on heating bills.”

Kanata-Stittsville – New Democrats will stop price gouging at the pump

one comment

Rayndp.com – NDP Leader Andrea Horwath unveiled her plan to protect drivers at the pumps by setting a weekly price cap on the cost of gasoline.

“Life keeps getting more and more expensive and it’s time to give people a break,” said Horwath. “We can’t fix everything, but we can take steps to protect households from gas gouging.”

“We will give the Ontario Energy Board the power to set a weekly price cap for gasoline. The price of gasoline won’t go over that ceiling and drivers will know what they’re going to pay that week. No surprises. No shocks,” said Horwath.

Speaking to taxi drivers, Horwath said that while the Ontario government can’t change international oil prices, it can eliminate gouging and provide consumers with predictability and fairness. The OEB already regulates prices for natural gas.

The New Democrat plan would impose a weekly ceiling on gas prices to reduce volatility and regional price differences while encouraging competition. The OEB would also have the power to intervene if suppliers were gouging market.

“Filling up your car shouldn’t be like pulling the handle on a slot machine,” said Horwath. “In these tough times, it’s time to put people first. Gas companies will be forced to justify their prices and stick to them.”

Five provinces and many U.S. states have some sort of price cap on gasoline. The benefits have resulted in reduced price volatility, competition and efficiency, and eliminated opportunistic price gouging.

South March Highlands: Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson fails Kanata residents

leave a comment

Special to The Canadian

Steve Hulaj, one of the leaders of Coalition to Protect the South March Highlands said that: “The City is willingly allowing the destruction of potential native artifacts and site by willingly allowing what according to researchers is a flawed archaeological study to be accepted by the Province, and the Province has said it is the City’s responsibility to ask for a halt. The City has not done so, so we need to Province to act.”

The Ray Campaign in the Carleton-Mississippi Mills supports making the South March Highlands a conservation area.

Unfortunately, it is apparent that Mayor Jim Watson works for Big Business interests which seek to destroy the South March Highlands, and not for Kanata residents who support the environmental protection of this area.

Ray is seeking the NDP nomination for the upcoming Ontario provincial election.  You can read more about his campaign: Rayndp.com

The South March Highlands is a 1100-hectare forest and wetland area – with streams, pools and beaver ponds – on the northwest edge of Kanata, just west of Ottawa, about 20-minutes from Parliament Hill.

In March 2010, the construction of a four-kilometre, four-lane arterial road (the Terry Fox Drive extension) through the middle of the area began, effectively slicing the forest in two.

The roadway will displace wetlands for the roadbed and there are concerns that the new road could decimate the Blanding’s turtles, a rare and threatened species, in the area.

Wetlands are important for water quality in that they help clean pollutants from waterways. They also help absorb carbon in the soil, thereby helping to moderate climate change.

Permission has also been given by the Ontario Municipal Board for 3200 housing units to be built within the highlands, requiring the clear cutting of 26-hectares of forest. The housing development would surround Beaver Pond. Significantly, 10,000 year-old Algonquin artifacts, burial mounds and archaeological sites have also been found in the area.

Kanata-Stittsville NDP – Andrea Horwath promises to scrap ambulance fees

NDP Leader Andrea Horwath announced she would set a weekly price cap on gasoline at a press conference in Toronto on Thursday, June 9, 2011.

NDP Leader Andrea Horwath announced she would set a weekly price cap on gasoline at a press conference in Toronto on Thursday, June 9, 2011.

Special to The Canadian

TORONTO — The Ray Campaign in the Carleton-Mississippi Mills riding agrees with an Ontario NDP proposal would scrap Ontario’s fees for ambulance services so people won’t have to choose between timely medical attention and their budgets.

“I don’t think that families should have to think twice about dialling 911 during an emergency,” said leader Andrea Horwath said Wednesday.

“Eliminating this fee will make sure an already painful and stressful situation isn’t made worse.”

Ray is seeking the NDP nomination for the upcoming Ontario provincial election.  You can read more about his campaign: Rayndp.com

The $45 fee often charged to be transported to hospital is one of the many charges Ontario residents must pay in what is supposed to be an accessible health-care system, Horwath said.

While people on Ontario Works, disability or home care programs and those in long-term care facilities don’t have to pay the fee, 650,000 of the 900,000 trips a year in Ontario are subject to it.

Horwath’s own mother, who is in her 70s, has hesitated to call for a ride when she needed it.

“We have an aging population, there’s more and more seniors who are going to be in need of that kind of service and I think it’s something that’s going to take a load off their mind,” said Horwath.

The plan will cost about $30 million a year but have no impact on hospital budgets, according to the NDP.

Manipulative Extraterrestrials: Earthbound secretive organizations vulnerable to infiltration and control

leave a comment

by Dr. John Singh

Both David Icke’s and Dr. Michael Salla’s insights suggest that any Earthbound secretive organizations are a natural potential launching pad for infiltration by Manipulative Extraterrestrials that seeking to undermine human sovereignty for their “Off-world” agenda.

Dr. John Lash’s has uncovered detailed historical Pagan Gnostic accounts about parasitic Manipulative Extraterrestrials that have sought to infiltrate human hierarchical command structures. The Pagan Gnostics apparently referred to these parasitic entities as “archons”.

Archons are described by Pagan Gnotics as “artificial life forms” from a lower dimensional reality, that seek to parasatize and exploit humanity.

The secrecy associated with UFO and Extraterrestrial contact with Earthbound humanity is an apparent outcome of the secrecy of many elite-driven Earthbound institutions.

Dr. Salla in his exopolitics research refers to a Manipulative Extraterrestrial Industrial Complex (MIEC) which is derailing we as humans from our evolution into a state of enforced “devolution” which as been further explored by Michael Cremo. LINK

Russian witness recalls Human-appearing Extraterrestrial

leave a comment

by Albert Rosales

UFOINFO.COM — The nineties was a decade of change, genocide, (Rwanda, Yugoslavia, etc), Operation Desert Storm, and of perhaps the beginning of a new phase in natural disasters (Hurricane Andrew). It also brought information from areas in the world which before there was few if any.

The unprecedented wave of reports which began in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union in 1989 reached its peak during 1990-1992, hundreds of cases were catalogued by numerous UFO groups and investigators from those countries, but unfortunately many or most remained un-translated and unknown to most Western researches, perhaps with a few exceptions.

A notable case was reported in Simferopol, located in the Crimean Peninsula of Ukraine. Before his encounter in 1990, the witness, a teenager from Yalta, back in the summer of 1928 was loitering in the mountains of the Ai’ Petri plateau, walking among the rocks and crags when suddenly he noticed a strange light emanating from a “karst” (shaft) on the ground. Being curious he approached closer and kept watching the unearthly light from coming out of the shaft. Some time later he was suddenly seized by fear and ran home.

Many years later (1990) the same witness (now obviously an adult) was in his bedroom at night when a very tall woman suddenly appeared in his room amidst a strange circle of light. The woman communicated by using telepathy and said, “Do you remember when you were a young boy, you saw the light from the place we live in the shaft?” The man was stunned since he had not told anybody about his previous experience. Before disappearing the strange woman told him that they lived in an underground city under the Ai’ Petri plateau with an approximate population of 2,000. She added that they traveled in UFOs.

This case is part of the underground lore involving UFO bases and installations and of course ancient civilizations. Beginning in the 90’s encounters with entities at times described as ‘looking like human-alien hybrids’ or strange looking humans that did not quite fit in or acted very bizarrely were beginning to be reported more often and from almost worldwide locations.

Another case:

Sometime in 1990, late at night in the area of New Town, Edinburgh Scotland a man named Brian Wilson was working the late shift one night at a local Pizza Parlour when a pair of “rather small” adults, who had a somewhat “lopsided” look about them, approached the counter, raised their right hands, and announced “Hi We’re Americans!”

“What would you like?” Brian asked them, to which they countered, “What do you make?”

“Pizzas” replied Brian.

“What are pizzas?” enquired the supposed Americans.
The couple watched Brian intently as he prepared two cheese and tomato pizzas. All the while, the male “kept looking around the shop like he’d never been in a pizza parlour before.”

Then the female pointed to a bowl of green peppers and asked what they were. By now, Brain’s colleague Doug had also noticed that there was something rather odd about the pair, and the two chefs exchanged glances of disbelief as Brian carefully explained what a pepper was. “Do they taste nice?” wondered the female.

As the pair waited in silence for their pizzas (complete with green peppers) to cook, other customers came in and out of the shop as usual. Once their order was ready, the extraordinary Americans settled their bill. Each took a single bite out of their pizza then threw the remainder into the bin outside the shop.

Brian entertained a suspicion that his visitors may have literally been from another planet. “I had read stories on the subject of aliens masquerading as human beings,” he told investigators. “These two individuals came across as acting as humans, but not doing a very good job of it!”

Extraterrestrial sighting? South Dakota witness makes report

leave a comment

By Albert Rosales

UFOINFO.COM — On March 5 2011 near Eagle Butte, South Dakota a employee at the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe (Reservation), a security guard at a casino was driving home alone after work when he began seeing red lights around 2340 resembling softballs and hundreds of them that were apparently spinning around the car this while driving south on Highway 20.

The red balls, seemingly hundreds of them, kept pace with the vehicle for a couple of miles, they never did get very close to the car, and stayed at about 2 car-lengths away. After a couple of miles the car began to slow down, it slowed down to about 40mph and it wouldn’t go any faster. Then the red lights just disappeared in plain sight.

The car then sped up back to 60mph. He then reached to where a gravel road meets highway 63 (he had turned into highway 63 by now) at one of the wind block ‘experiment stations’ or soil erosion experimentation. At this point he began getting goose-bumps all over his body, a sort of tingly cold feeling all over his body. He then saw this ‘thing’ on the side of the road where the gravel road meets the main highway and before he knew it was by the car. It then reached in and touched the witness’s head through the windshield and ran its hand down the witness back. His back got extremely hot.

He described the creature as having an oblong-shaped head, a really thin body, thin arms and legs. It was translucent and glowing like a very dim light-bulb, and he could see through it. Its eyes were the size of humans, and it had a really long nose and a huge mouth.

Its arms were like sticks and it had its really thin stick-like arms stretched out, these also glowed softly. It was around 4foot tall. At this point the witness saw another creature on the other side of the road (left hand side) he described the second creature as ‘horrifying’ with a beast-like wrinkled face, squat in appearance and about the size of a ‘goat’. It was glowing reddish brown in colour.

As soon as he saw the 2nd creature it seemed to vanish. The first creature apparently remained by the vehicle for about 10 minutes as the tingly feeling would not go away.

The witness eventually drove away and began to feel better as he approached a Bison farm about 15 miles from Eagle Butte. According to his wife he was in a very agitated state when he arrived home.

Kanata’s South March Highlands: When capitalism goes awry

leave a comment

Are you a resident of the Kanata-Carleton-Mississippi Mills riding?   Support our NDP campaign to help protect the South March Highlands

Special to The Canadian

KNL initially agreed to the land swap, but has withdrawn its agreement. According to the Ottawa Citizen, the developer is not interested in selling any of the 29 hectares.

KNL is typical of the corporate culture of capitalism today.

It is apparent that the elites who preside over such corporations view the Earth to be little more than raw materials for them to pursue an ego-driven insatiable profit at “whateva” social cost.

Boycott Urbandale and Richcraft over Kanata South March Highlands say Ottawa resident

leave a comment

Are you a resident of the Kanata-Carleton-Mississippi Mills riding?   Support our NDP campaign to help protect the South March Highlands

Special to The Canadian

For generations, the forest just north of the Beaver Pond was protected from development, and rightfully so. It is Ottawa’s last true wilderness forest, with soaring old growth trees and rare plants and protected species found nowhere else in such a dense area within the Ottawa Region.

Yet the owners of Urbandale Construction and Richcraft Homes purchased this property and have decided to cut this old-growth forest down and blast the lands flat to put up 3200 homes. This is ridiculous, and regardless of the fact that they can legally build here, I will not support these companies ever again with my future new home, townhome or condo purchase.

The area is properly called the South March Highlands (SMH), and it is geologically unique in the City of Ottawa. Information shows that it supports over 440 species of vegetation, including: 64 Regionally Significant, 50 Locally Significant, 6 Provincially Rare, and 2 Nationally Endangered species of vascular plant life. This habitat is crucial for 164 species of bird, including 136 species that breed in this area, 9 bird species at risk, and the 30 Regionally Significant species of bird that inhabit this ecosystem.

Yet, even though the Regional and City Official Plans have officially protected the SMH since 1972, less than 1/3 of the original forest area remains. So after building on a huge portion of this forest over the last 20 years, and clear cutting other forests, Urbandale and Richcraft, through their joint operating company called KNL have decided to ignore the demands of the community and disregard the environmental and potential archaeological significance of this land.

I will not support a company who demonstrates such blatant disregard for a unique environmental and possibly archaeological gem for the sake of the almighty dollar. The company has the resources to sell this land to the City of Ottawa for a fair market price for raw land and purchase land elsewhere which does not have the environmental impact that the destruction of the SMH would have. KNL has made NO effort to communicate with or respond to the mounting evidence presented by the community, concerned politicians or concerned groups.

Therefore, if KNL proceeds with forest destruction of the South March Highlands, I pledge to NEVER purchase a home, townhome, condo or property from either Urbandale or Richcraft ever again and I will endeavour to inform at least 10 people who will take the same pledge in the years ahead even without having to sign this pledge.

Together, we will never forget what Urbandale and Richcraft are about to do to these lands and we cannot and will not support a company with such disregard for our community and its environment.
