The Canadian Taxpayers Federation’s new BC director, Kris Sims, joined me to discuss her November piece in the Vancouver Province warning British Columbians about the risks of rejecting Site C in favour of 'green energy' like solar and wind as Ontario has done under the McGuinty-Wynne Liberals.
Watch as Sims explains how dire things have become in Ontario and despite the CTF's caution regarding how expensive the dam might become, the Site C dam under construction near Fort St. John, BC must be completed.
Is NDP Premier Horgan willing to learn from the mistakes of Ontario or are we likely to repeat them?
And what of the NDP's promise to implement a rate freeze on Hydro rates during the election? What will that mean for rate payers once the freeze is over?
Balanced budget you say?

My thoughts exactly. Refugees and illegals do not pay power bills.
This is an attempt to get real tax paying Canadians out of their homes by making it impossible for them to pay the bill.
when the Dam can easily do the job by itself?
Ken Martinson, "Site C can have a GREEN component added to it. "
The dam would provide more than enough power and wind turbines would be redundant. Since wind can’t ever effectively take the place of a consistent source such as hydro, what’s the point? It would just be an expensive unnecessary accessory for show. What’s greener than hydro power? It is initially intrusive to the environment, but is then as clean and reliable as any other energy source out there.
That is what those energy sources are like – Extremely Unreliable!
I would never invest a Wooden Nickle into it again!
We all know that Wind power needs a power plant for backup, when the wind doesn’t blow. So, throw $1 billion into a wind farm, and take the good PR, and use the new dam to supply the electricity when the wind farm cannot. It is a win-win.
The reign of a typical Anti-fascist:

Windmills and solar panel fields are ugly and rely on windy and sunny days – UNRELIABLE. They need replacing after 20+ years and require battery storage that is not environmentally friendly.
SiteC: Get on with it.
