Impressive work, Ruby!
Retired farmer Ruby Mekker has devoted significant effort to protect Ontario residents against threats to the safety of our farm-grown food due to government “climate change” policies. Thank you Ruby!
End the carbon tax, and for God’s sake, end the wind turbines too!
Wind turbines have been described as a “blemish on the landscape”, a sentiment shared by everyone who loves the natural beauty of pristine forests, meadows, farmlands and rolling hills.
Ruby’s unpaid work to convince Ontario government officials to act on this threat is fully documented in the linked letter: https://ontariolandowners.ca/shrapnel-and-chemicals-in-ontarios-food-supply-by-ruby-mekker/

April 31, 2023
Premier and Ministers of the Ontario Government,
I am writing today to ask a question brought forward by recent events. “What is the Government of Ontario doing to protect the people of Ontario’s health, food supply and animal welfare from the shrapnel and chemicals in the breakdown of industrial wind turbine blades?
Currently all but two Ontario industrial wind turbines are situated on prime agricultural land. Concerns and issues have been reported regularly since the dawn of industrial wind turbines in Ontario, but remain unaddressed and continue to be a growing health and environmental risk.
The health and agricultural issues reported are consistent around the world. Negative impacts of the degradation and destruction of turbine blades is now publicly available. The Nation Rise wind project is only one of many projects that have experienced blade issues. A video of the August, 2021 blade breakup can be found at: https://www.facebook.com/ruby.mekker/videos/1405528446483676?idorvanity=47563135667793
Ugly and dangerous!
I have long been opposed to the excessive growth in cost and authority that has produced the Climate Change Govermental Complex that lords over our lives in many ways.
I have cringed at the sight of wind turbines because they are ugly and because I have been aware of their risks. Ruby’s work adds to my list of reasons why the entire Climate Change Govermental Complex must be dismantled. My book ‘What to do about Climate Change, A Libertarian Proposal’ lays out the arguments in detail.
I wrote this post in support or Ruby’s efforts to date. If her cause moves you, consider lending her a hand and your voice through the Ontario Landowners Association.
