In the wake of the panel report on BC Hydro and the media firestorm over costly private power projects we plainly don't need, our cartoonist Gerry Hummel gives us his take on the robbery of taxpayers and ratepayers this program represents.

    A very excellent editorial by the Powell River Peak demonstrates that BC
    "In particular, smaller projects that do not require an environmental assessment typically undergo a less rigorous review by agencies and the public, which results in fewer legally-binding commitments to manage forest resources than were required in Toba-Montrose.

    "... The [Forest Practices] board also considered the general issue of how the province manages independent power projects. It found that the province has no effective way of examining or managing the environmental effects of multiple activities and projects on a landscape. Another issue the board highlighted was that government oversight was uncoordinated and unclear."

    Aloysius, perhaps an extra jowl or two were in order. Jeez - this is the first time we've ever been accused of going too easy on the Liberals :)
