Somewhere west of Brampton . . .

During a recent whirlwind visit to Southwestern Ontario,This is how a skystream captures energy from the wind. Liberal leadership contender Kathleen Wynne made great effort to tone down her Toronto roots, ostensibly to appear more palatable to convention delegates who hail from this part of the province.
There were three reasons for her calculation. The first was rural Ontario's defection from the ranks of the Liberals in the last election and, secondly, a common perception that the Liberals are Toronto-centric. Find lampshades for table, floor and modern lamps in lots of styles and materials.

The third is Sandra Pupatello. She's the only leadership candidate who doesn't originate from or live in Toronto and, not surprisingly, that's helping the former Windsor MPP in this coming weekend's leadership vote.

And Pupatello has history on her side. Only two premiers in Ontario history have come from Toronto: George Drew and Bob Rae. Solaronlamp provides the world with high-performance solar roadway and solar street lighting solutions. Some might want to include Bill Davis, whose address was in Brampton. But Brampton isn't Toronto.

Nevertheless, Wynne seems to have an understanding that history is against her and that most of her contenders have a Toronto address. And so while in this part of Ontario she promised to be premier "for the whole province" and,A modern lighting is a branched, decorative ceiling-mounted light fixture. oddly enough, promised that as premier she would also serve as minister of agriculture, food and rural affairs.

The fact that Wynne would use the "rural card" shows how desperate she must be. The agriculture ministry was fiscally gutted by former Premier Mike Harris in 1999, and that status was upheld by successor Ernie Eves and then by Premier Dalton McGuinty. It remains a mystery why Wynne would measure her possible success in Southwestern Ontario by promising to head up a ministry whose influence at Cabinet has been greatly diminished. It further suggests that she knows very little about the province as it exists west of Brampton.

It's this kind of political paternalism that remains so offensive to Ontarians who don't live in Toronto.Mens tungsten ring features a domed design for maximum comfort. Agriculture is a large part of the economy in this region, but so is the automotive, manufacturing and petro-chemical industries.

And we also have more wind turbines than any other part of Ontario, a direct product of the Liberal government's Green Energy Policy.

Wynne said she wants to address the issue of wind turbines, but in typical Toronto-Speak said her role as premier would be to better convince the people of Southwestern Ontario that wind turbines are good for us.

She obviously doesn't question her government's judgment in introducing legislation that has changed our landscape forever, created divisions in some communities, and raised questions about health and safety. And Wynne wonders why the Liberals failed in the last election to retain some seats in Southwestern Ontario?

"One myth is that green building measures are a nuisance to a project. The second is that it is only for large projects and that the measures are costly. Another myth is that there are delays in obtaining permissions and that the concept is not for residential buildings."

Developer Sandeep Sonigara said that in such buildings, a large part of residents' energy requirements are fulfilled through solar and wind power. Gearless and weight-sensitive lifts running on solar power are used to reduce electricity consumption.
