Leclerc bids adieu to Cornwall-SDSG To the editor:
My journey here in the community comes to end soon. I plan to leave the public ser- vice. Saying so long is never easy. I love the community. SD&SG has so much to offer. The region’s strength is its bilingual and multicultural nature. I wish to thank you - the NDP local riding association family, the co-workers at Service Canada call centre, friends and supporters all across the county for your support and affection. May 2, 2011 was a memorable moment of my life indeed. It has been a great honour to run as NewDemocrat and to have known so many remarkable people in the community. Now, who are we as people? Too large of a gap between the rich and the poor, as we have in Canada today, actu- ally hurts the overall economy. We have put too much fate in the hands of the free market and corporate tax cuts. We could start by finding ways to find work for more people. And we need more than what each of us can do alone. In fact, we cannot make it if we fail to res- Solar power sounds good but so far, is technical and financial folly for Ontario. When the sun sets, solar systems shut down. People though expect all lights and ap- pliances to still function. That power comes from large generators. The problem is that these generators can- not be shut down in the daytime. They are not designed to go on and off like switches at home. It takes three days to restart the nuclear generators which account for 55 per cent of Ontario power. The solar farms in operation are already creating a power glut in the daytime and there is no feasible technology yet to store power. So far, the solution has been hydrau- lic spill and paying other jurisdictions to take the power. This costs Ontario billions of dollars. When all approved solar systems are on- The flu vaccines affected by the suspen- sion, Fluad and Agriflu, are manufactured by Novartis.“There is no evidence that there is any risk associated with these Novartis vaccines,” said Dr. Paul Roumeliotis, medi- cal Officer of Health at the EOHU. “The ac- tion taken by Health Canada to temporarily suspend the distribution and use of these vaccines is a precautionary measure and is not related to any health risks having been directly observed.”

cue those who’ve been left behind. The truth is that our future will not bring us a rising standard of living unless we raise the living standard of all Canadians. Together, we will build the country of our
hopes and dreams.
Mario Leclerc Former NDP candidate- Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry Liberals messing up potential of solar power To the editor:
line over the next three to four years, it will cost tax-payers even more billions for de- cades. The electric grid is not designed to handle large, rapid increases in intermittent gen- eration. McGuinty though, in his political rush to look good in green, gave contracts where all solar power must be accepted and at very high rates. The solution is to manage solar as hydrau-
lic, nuclear and other sources are managed -- as part of an integrated system. Right now, investors make a lot of money, electricity rates rocket up, the power grid is being pounded and the deficit increases by billions upon billions . The Liberals took a good concept of alter- native energy and messed it up badly.

The temporary suspension of two vaccines by Health Canada is a precau- tionary measure and Ontario’s annual flu immunization campaign continues to pro- tect Ontarians from the flu.
