So the inconspicuous Blandings Turtle is responsible for shutting down an industrial wind project in Prince Edward County. Not human health issues, birds, bats or the unique alvar, but a turtle, who let’s face it, has no idea this is even being discussed. I suppose now we just wait to see if the appeal is appealed.

What are the two main issues in Prince Edward County right now? Our Hospital is in dire shape due to cuts, and of course, the impending industrial turbines. I like being able to blend various concepts into one cartoon. Even if the end result is somewhat depressing…

Ok, so there has only ever been sightings of one bear in South Bay, at least, only one bear at a time, and I don’t know whether it’s an adult or much younger. But, to be honest, bears also don’t talk, and they certainly don’t wear bells or have any concept of wind power or wind developers, so I’m taking a few liberties. But seriously, if you live in South Bay and you are out for a walk, wear a bell. It may not scare off bears or wind developers, but it will definitely let your neighbours know that the ‘crazy guy wearing the bells’ is coming.

It’s a conflicting message. If you have any trouble wading through the bizarre decision making policies of our government, Provincial or Federal, try following the money.

Sometimes I’m a bit hard on our municipal government, but sometimes it’s just so frustrating. I’ve also painted with a rather large brush with this cartoon,and I should say there are piles and piles of competent and really helpful people at the hall. In retrospect I should maybe have used ‘council’ in place of ‘Shire Hall’.

People seem to either love industrial wind turbines or hate them. The merits of IWT’s are questionable at best, but for certain they are excellent at causing division between communities, friends and even the families of those living in their shadow.
