Brillant!
Do what’s not to spec?
Heaven forbid they report what is actually wrong with it, eh?
If someone gave me that much money I would atleast build it to spec.
This reminds me of when ford tore down a wind farm because “it would cost too much to run” and ended up spending more to take it down than it would of cost to run… Sounds to me like there’s more to this story and it’s likely to get allot more cringy once it comes out.
@Mike Davis agreed they aren’t actually green and cost more lol 😆
@george davidson Most of the price is the up front cost to build the wind farm. Tearing it down cost more than building the wind farm. If he didn’t want to invest in new wind farms it would be short sighted but at least understandable since his party doesn’t believe in climate change or environmental protection but he tore them down instead of getting the electricity we had already paid for.
@Mike Davis I can’t tell if you’re trolling or just uneducated. The transportation of fuel to traditional power plants alone cause more environmental damage than a wind farm does. The only power plant that comes close to wind and solar would be nuclear but then you have to deal with radioactive waste.
@Gabriel Nuclear Power is now the cleanest due to innovation, only time nuclear in the worst is when they meltdown.
@Gabriel you are talking garbage. Where do you come up with these ideas
The private company builds the wind turbine and then they make the money from selling the power
Ontario does not need the power. Nuclear
produces power at 8 to 10 cents a kWh why would we want to pay 80
Sounds like water pooling and drainage issues. Seems like legitimate concerns to me. What’s the warning about lowest bidders?
Yup lowest bidder wins the prize
@comfortably numb And lowest bidder add alot of extra’s.
@*trigger warning I IDENTIFY AS CAPS LOCK STOP BEING INTOLERANT TO MY FELLOW CAPITAL LETTERS yes, and/or pulls the cheap, cheap and cuts corners. Happens alot. Seen lots of foremen, supervisors do it.
Abuse of power ehhhh, that sounds so familiar.
During the pandemic nobody care. Take ur time I didn’t go to 427 for more than a year now
dont pay them a single dollar, they all are aid well, its all profit money they are probably talking about, and why dont they talk about the profit they make from worlds most expensive toll road.
Here’s why: Government
They’ll start ticketing more to increase cash flow
I deal with contractors all day and they try to mint more from you. Tear it down and make it exactly to the specs otherwise no money, period.
why do we have to pay to use hwy 407 ?
we have a group of 2nd class citizen who are unfairly penalized with extra cost to travel while citizens who live in other parts of ontario do not have to pay.
jeeeze, …open a Dragstrip in the meantime, …heheh
Don’t worry, once they use more tax payer money to get it up to spec themselves – they’ll promptly sell it off to a holding company for a fraction so they can turn it into a toll road. We’re safe.
There’s something fishy going on if the province didn’t have their experts check as the work went along. Now their crying foul?
Bureaucratic bullies are now everywhere.
the highway here has ruts in it causing the vehicle to be shifted side to side
So no one from the government was there to inspect the work *_while_* construction was underway? Yeah, that sounds about right.
Toronto/GTA should be it’s own province, that’s all I have to say.
But will it slow the spread of Covid? That’s all that matters.
