But the billions spent to build the dams, plus the endless long-term costs associated with lawsuits, land claims, politics, it never ends. Apparently Manitoba is set to need more electricity. Build the gas-fired plants and they will eventually be used -- with a lot less long-term trouble.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2559260500579382213.post-85573844135218871972010-04-25T10:00:11.987-05:002010-04-25T10:00:11.987-05:00anon - 2 natural gas plants have been built/conver...anon - 2 natural gas plants have been built/converted in the last 10 years.

Definitely First Nations that are impacted should be compensated, but within reason. The government does not need to be held over a barrel by a First Nation that claims that some distant crown land is part of their traditional territory. We need to get a handle on the distinction between entitlement and the courtesy of consultation. There is room to bend, but if you bend too far then you fall into a pit that you can't get out of.cherenkovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15355986781478585611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2559260500579382213.post-5512885621948202362010-04-21T20:48:29.784-05:002010-04-21T20:48:29.784-05:00Cherenkov, just think -- build only gas-fired powe...Cherenkov, just think -- build only gas-fired power plants and no negotiations with First Nations, far fewer lawyers cashing in, no mega-lawsuits in a few decades from people claiming their traditional lands are harmed etc. Lots of electricity, cheap price, and no negotiations, payouts and apologies to anyone ever.

I'm no granola head but the whole northern dam fiasco in Manitoba over the decades is a disaster. It's pretty much ruined the water systems of this province. Dams are too expensive and don't produce enough power for the cost.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2559260500579382213.post-19827627374403881932010-04-21T14:56:46.429-05:002010-04-21T14:56:46.429-05:00You may want to look at Ms Wows latest pronounceme...You may want to look at Ms Wows latest pronouncements which shed new light on the rational <br />There is a time issue which plays into the secret contractual commitments that nobody wants to talk aboutunclebobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16108804757944657087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2559260500579382213.post-58508967496971910082010-04-21T10:33:25.966-05:002010-04-21T10:33:25.966-05:00Cheren, am as disgusted as you are but to add insu...Cheren, am as disgusted as you are but to add insult to injury, council is now spinning that the old stadium needs 50 Million dollars in refurbishments.<br /><br />Like Bipole, where do they get this stuff, and why do they insist on spinning it. <br /><br />But more importtantly , why are they allowed to get away with the deceit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2559260500579382213.post-23800718794229562782010-04-21T09:28:41.437-05:002010-04-21T09:28:41.437-05:00You have to live in the suburbs to get them, DG. ...You have to live in the suburbs to get them, DG.
