New Gas-Fired Power Plant Proposal Sparks Resistance from Environmental Groups A new gas-fired power plant proposal for the Sarnia, Ontario region is facing resistance from the Clean Air Alliance. The Alliance questions the necessity of the plant, citing the province’s growing commitment to renewable energy initiatives and expressing worries about potential environmental consequences. They also suggest the project’s job creation potential will be limited. Concerns regarding the plant's impact are shared by local officials, including Mayor Mike Bradley, who has publicly voiced his reservations. The debate centers around Ontario’s ongoing transition to cleaner energy sources. With increased investments in renewables, the need for a new fossil fuel-powered plant is being challenged. The potential for relatively few long-term jobs to be created further fuels the opposition. Environmental anxieties persist as a significant point of contention, especially considering the site's past as a former coal-fired power plant and its history of industrial contamination. Proponents of the plant emphasize the need for a dependable power supply, arguing that the facility would provide a reliable energy source for the region. However, the project’s future hinges on municipal decisions and subsequent regulatory approvals. The community remains divided, with some residents joining the Clean Air Alliance in opposing the development while others acknowledge the potential benefits of a stable power supply.

Bonnie Crombie won #OntarioDebate so leave it to shoddy media;
@globalnews.ca 'headline' today;
Photo of Bonnie Crombie implies SHE's 'under fire' for a media post. Then turns out it was by some candidate no one ever heard of from like 3 years ago.
Gee..

Fave part of the #ontariodebate last night was when Ford admitted to flip flopping on the greenbelt, no one could follow up on it because he agreed with them he'd messed up.
It's idiotic. But he's going to get a majority again, isn't he? Because people think "he tells it like it is!" 🙄

Doug Ford is NOT proving his point saying we have short surgery wait lists in Ontario. THAT’S BECAUSE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE DON’T HAVE A DOCTOR TO REFER THEM FOR SURGERY!

ON debate. The lying liar who lies vs three lefty party "leaders" saying basically the same things. I'll remove the quotes when these people step up and coalesce, in other words, not this time around. SO tired of their egos keeping the criminal in office. BEYOND tired of it. #ontariodebate

Does yelling at the tv count as aerobic exercise? #OntarioDebate

No chance this #OntarioDebate moves the needle at all.

#BonnieCrombie was terrible and #DougFord, for all his many faults, is better at this debate thing than he once was.

I’ve never hated the word ‘folks’ more than I do tonight! #votefordout #ontariodebate

OK - I'm out. When there is a free-for-all it's more unwatchable than ever. #OntarioDebate

#OntarioDebate -where are the green, yellow and red debate cards?

And there needed to be someone whose job was just to mark time & to monitor for mention if they wanted to give some a chance to respond.

Time was not being kept to 30 seconds, nor were mics being muted when people were running on.

So #OntarioDebate watchers... how much do we blame the format and how much do we blame the leaders? #ONpoli

Doug never sleeps. It shows. And exercise? Ha ha ha ha Good diet? ha ha ha ha. And time off? None of them take in a cultural activity to refresh and refocus.
#performingarts #ontariodebate

I'm not sure Styles saying constantly 7 years is good. She sounds like Poilievre. #ontariodebate

Watching the Ontario debates. Asked about the Ontario place spa Doug Ford talks about the tunnel?? The spa would be owned by an Austrian company with a 99 year lease.

#OntarioDebate #OnPoli

Man, Schreiner really making Doug Ford look EMBARRASING over the premier's $2.2 billion in government subsidies for a foreign-owned spa built on the former Ontario Place grounds.

Marit Stiles and Schreiner have a respectful debate about how to end homeless encampments.

#ONpoli #OntarioDebate

“Fantasy tunnel” #OntarioDebate

Folks on the stage .. how ignorant Dougy. Please vote this POS out. #ontariodebate

Doug Ford just said that the truckers don’t want to use the 407. #OntarioDebate

Worst debate format. EVER! #ontariodebate

Dougy is really bad. Criminalize homelessness. WTF #ontariodebate

Mike Schreiner really delivered a powerful blow against Doug Ford on Ontario Disability rates. Ford sounds like a ghoul, unable to defend keeping ODSP rates at $1,300/month when average rent is $1,600 a month in this province and $2,000 in the GTA. #ONpoli #OntarioDebate #OntarioVotes

The moderator for this debate though is so awful. #OntarioDebate

a woman is sitting at a table in front of a window making a funny face . ALT: a woman is sitting at a table in front of a window making a funny face .

Bonnie Crombie is all out attacking and exposing Doug Ford tonight and I’m here for it. #OntarioDebate

Missed opportunity for @maritstilesndp.bsky.social to point out the NDP plan to eliminate the tolls across the whole 407 to help with affordability & cost of living. #ONpoli #OntarioDebate
