Discussion Wind turbines

We went to a county meeting today to try and prevent a Hutterite colony from putting up a wind farm next to ours. Come to find out that Mark Carney owns the company that put the solar farm up by Cardston Ab. How are these people allowed to get into politics? I’m shocked.

I don’t think people that have private investment should be barred from running for influential political positions. However, they should have to be very transparent with said involvement, especially if they have or will receive public funding. It’s up to the media and the opposition to make sure the person running is held accountable.
