ReplyDeleteI thought the interview was very good and quite informative. Dr McMurtry sure comes across as someone who knows his stuff. Here’s the thought that occurred to me as I listened to it.... As discussed on the program, there is an enormous divide between rural and urban Canada. Why is that and what can be done about it? Isn’t this just the classic problem of ‘getting the message out’? How best to do that? I think that somebody needs to take a hard look at this issue strictly as a marketing problem and that of course runs the gamut of getting messages like Dr McMurtry out into the urban districts, get good advertising prepared and sent out.... why not take one of the worst homes in an area with lots of turbines (perhaps one where people have walked away from it) and hold tours there. Offer to put people up from the City overnight at it like a bread and breakfast? Somebody needs to think this through but after seeing how 9 Conservative members didn’t even show up to vote on Lisa Thompson’s motion, I think it can be safely concluded that the MPPs of all stripes are not going to be of much help.
