I 1MB lilt was sin in in t ninths this While we question the use of the much quoted term block buster to describe the shiny new strategy unveiled by the Interested Citizens Group last week at Queen Park the very scope of the group new assault does indeed a punch The setting was fitting enough for announcing a greatly expanded attack on the powerful no pun intended crown corporation the media studio usually reserved for Premier Bill Davis and his vocal opponents instead became a launching pud for an assault on one of Davis favorite chanties and the media was suitably impressed The story made page one of the Toronto Star for example and though the Great Corridor barely mentioned the implications of the ICGs ac cusations have no doubt raised many fears among Hydros top brass who would otherwise shrug off public criticism of the Bruce to Milton hydro line As Toronto media fully the ICG together with the Ontario Federation of Agriculture and Energy Probe have come up with an astounding array of charges which go far beyond anything the ICG has even implied publically during its seven war against the jtiper corridor Brought into question by in formation released at the press conference it is Hydros very right to export power to the U a basic but usually limited part of its mandate from the people of On tano What really raised eyebrows among the big city reporters was the charge that American con are paying less or power produced right here in Ontario 1 he ICG has been saying as much for year apparently lacked evidence lo give the charge any credibility What is perhaps of more in here in Mills par among our unfortunate Fifth Concession neighbors is that controversial transmission line cutting across their is actually needed more lo aid and abet this disgusting example of corporate game playing We feel the ICG s charges and the evidence offered in support of them speak for themselves we believe a National Energy Board inquiry into the will bear them out and we believe it s long due lime to take Hydro to task its empire building and deal making Clearly the travesty inherent in faulty planning and suspicious negotiations over the Bruce to Milton corridor is only one small facet of the Ontario Hydros crime Before we all go broke keeping the Americans warm or fending off the hydro towers let s ensure that justice is done in the taxpayer

Reed absent from the conference physically but Jainly present in Reportedly forced to abstain clue to illness Mr Heed never forwarded a statement of support for the ICGs cause which was read to reporters and generally indicated the sentiments of the Ontario Liberal party Halton Hills should be proud to represented by an who started out defending his neigh rights over a proposed school closure and has ended up at least once a week in province wide headlines as Liberal energy critic To hold such an Opposition party post during a time when the energy crisis is rising daily to new flood level heights must be an awesome task but Mr Reed has demonstrated his competence at the job time and time again He does his homework and takes full advantage of tbe many op afforded by Premier Davis to attack the government s energy policies and practices With his theatrical experience no doubt still lending itself well to his legislative career Mr Heed has risen himself to new heights of effectiveness It was the initial shock wave he and of his neighbors created among local school board officials over the closure of the village small school which singled Mr Reed out in the eyes of Liberal supporters then searching for a new champion in riding Julian Heed is still creating those shock waves nearly a decade later but now they re much more sizeable and infinitely more important We wish him much luck in his political ventures and causes and may he remain a thorn in Bill Davis side until the day Bill Davis returns to private citizenship ill led Ilildwin put In Hit f The iir dilj
