Representative of the Planet Earth visits Canada

Wind Watch: Locals at a boiling point over wind farm
A thousand people flooded into an information session hosted by Toronto Hydro at Sir Wilfred Laurier Collegiate Institute on Nov. 24 where they debated the positive and negative effects of the proposed offshore wind farm.
...
Local environmentalists who support the wind farm project argue it impacts all residents in Toronto, not just the people in the local community, since it relates to the issue of climate change.

I am here on behalf of the Planet Earth,” said Chaitanya Kalevar, a member of the Canadian Action Party and a resident of Pickering. “Global warming is a global issue and not just the matter in Scarborough.”

They were frequently disturbed by local residents who oppose the project, some of whom frequently yelled “Do you live here?”
