Doug Ford shifts direction on wind power in Ontario

One of Doug Ford’s first acts as premier of Ontario, just days after taking office in 2018, was cancelling more than 750 renewable energy projects, including a large wind farm that was already partially built.

Fast forward to today, and Ford’s Progressive Conservative government is poised to oversee the biggest expansion of green energy that the province has seen in nearly a decade.

Ontario has laid out plans to procure an additional 5,000 megawatts of renewable energy by 2034. By comparison: the capacity of all wind power projects currently installed across the province totals about 4,900 megawatts.

Palms must be greased.

Small immigration protest sparks response from five police forces

Officers from five different forces were brought in to police an anti-immigration protest that fizzled out within three hours.

Anti-immigration protesters congregated at 11am outside Bournemouth town hall on Sunday but were met with activists from Stand Up to Racism on the other side of the road in Central Gardens with drums and loudspeakers.

But the stand-off faded into lone echoes of “stop the boats” from the crowd of anti-immigration protesters, who were drastically outnumbered by counter-protesters.

The Prison Officers’ Association (POA) predicts that ministers will be forced to impose new bottlenecks within days to avoid prisons filling up.

That would require triggering Operation Early Dawn, which prevents inmates being taken from police cells to court unless a prison space is available for them.

Lock Up Your Daughters! Climate Change Causes Rise in Child Marriages

Heavier and longer summer monsoon rains are said to be fuelling a rise in child marriages in Pakistan, reports Agence France-Presse (AFP). Human rights workers are warning such weddings are on the rise “due to climate-driven economic insecurity”. Great story since it holds out a small hope that banning hydrocarbon use can help solve a problem of forced and under-aged female abuse that has been endemic in many cultures since time immemorial. It is just a shame about the facts. According to the World Bank climate change knowledge portal, monsoon rains in June, July and August in the period 1991-2020 were marginally less in Pakistan than fell during 1961-1990.
