Just a brief note<\/strong> to give\u00a0my readers the opportunity to examine two documents related to Collus-PowerStream and our council’s secretive efforts to sabotage our utility. Both are in PDF format, linked below.<\/p>\n

First is the\u00a0presentation given by the Electricity Distribution Association (EDA)<\/a> to AMO delegates earlier this month. I referred to this in a recent post about the opportunities this council has thrown away<\/a> in their headlong rush to fulfill their petty little vendettas.<\/p>\n

Collus-PowerStream was mentioned during the presentation (page 14) as one of the leading innovators in LDCs in Ontario.\u00a0Bet you’ve never heard The Block say anything like that at the table.<\/p>\n

Never a good word for all the hard work our utility staff have done comes from The Block. They can’t stand hearing good news about our\u00a0utility they want to destroy and they never, ever pass any positive news\u00a0along to you – the actual owners of our utility.<\/p>\n

We could have been in the forefront of a remarkable exciting new development, been a player in new organization – had The Block not interfered with their petty, personal agendas. But you’ll never hear them admit it.<\/p>\n

Second is the EDA’s weekly newsletter for August 16, 2016<\/a> which also provides a summary of the presentation. On page 2, you’ll read how our own utility was profiled for its efficiency:<\/p>\n

Collus PowerStream\u2019s SmartMAP which has improved outage restoration and operational efficiency.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Once again, we are being recognized by the provincial association, esteemed in the eyes of LDCs and municipalities across the province. But do you think you’ll ever hear The Block mention this at the council table? Of course not! Nor will you read in in the local media, which, sadly, does little more than regurgitate The Block’s slimy propaganda.<\/p>\n

The weekly newsletter is also interesting because it highlights news, issues, events, policy changes and events in the energy sector. Which, of course, The Block never reads because they don’t receive it. That would require them to actually taken an interest in the energy sector and learn something. Both of which are anathema to all\u00a0Blockheads. Besides, they already know everything. Actually learning something would just confuse them.<\/p>\n

The newsletter\u00a0would normally\u00a0go to LDC board members, but given who\u00a0The Block placed on the utility board – their administrative pitbulls – they are unlikely to pass it along to the public, either. It’s kept secret, like everything else done around, with and to our utility. But here, at least this one time, you have a chance to read what The Block doesn’t want you to know.<\/p>\n

You’re welcome.<\/p>\n

Collingwood deserves better. You<\/em> deserve better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
