The CBC reports on the removal of the turbines - they don't report that while the ownership of the company that put them up has changed frequently, Liberal party heavyweight Mike Crawley has been a constant as President of the company (see comments here) - nor do they report the siting implications for the Kincardine area.
Eight wind turbines near the Chatham-Kent Municipal Airport in southwestern Ontario risk being torn down after Transport Canada ordered their removal because they exceed height restrictions for the area.
However, it's uncertain if and when any turbine removal would occur following Transport Canada's order last week.
Dave Van Kesteren, the Conservative MP for the region, says he's not sure why the turbines were built in the first place.
"The long and the short is, that somebody issued licences for the zoning and we'll have to find out [who]," he said. "I guess it is the city's responsibility to issue those licences. From there, we'll find out how this happened."
Van Kesteren says he expects to see a court battle over who's responsible for the turbines, and he doesn't know when they have to be taken down.
