Ontario

☢ Federal support can help Ontario and Quebec build more powerful ties <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=653f1b666d&e=45743fde61>  The Ontario Clean Air Alliance has teamed up with the David Suzuki Foundation and Equiterre to call on the Government of Canada to invest in electricity transmission system upgrades that will allow increased water powered-electricity trade between Quebec and Ontario. ON could forgo rebuilding our nuclear stations if we instead purchased QC's excess water power. And QC would benefit from our market.

☢ Federal Environment minister delays decision on Lake Huron nuclear waste burial site <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=93905d5040&e=45743fde61>  Good news - McKenna asked OPG for more studies. Stop the Great Lakes Nuclear Dump group said the government should have simply killed the proposal rather than delay a decision. “No matter what process is followed, burying and abandoning radioactive nuclear waste in the Great Lakes Basin will always be a bad idea.”

☢ Premier Kathleen Wynne says better to be safe than sorry on proposed Southwestern Ontario nuclear waste dump <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=4fe28d2fde&e=45743fde61>
