List of Scientists and Citizens Calling for a
Steady State Economy
Reaches 1,000 !
                            •       List maintained by the Center for the Advancement of the Steady State Economy, Arlington, VA
                            •       Signatories include renowned scientists and economists
                            •       Signatures supplemented by endorsements and professional society position statements

    Arlington, VA (November 30, 2005) The one thousandth signature was obtained today on an internet petition maintained by the Center for the Advancement of the Steady State Economy, or “CASSE.” The CASSE petition explains what economic growth is, identifies the major threats posed by economic growth, and calls for the establishment of a steady state economy before the American and global economies exceed the capacity of the environment to support them. A steady state economy, the petition explains, is achieved when population and consumption are stabilized. Eventually, the petition states, the American government should lead other nations to develop their own steady state economies.

    The signature list includes prominent scientists such as Wes Jackson, James Karr, and Reed Noss, as well as leading resource economists such as John Loomis, Tom Power, and John Ikerd. William Rees and Mathis Wackernagel, developers of the “ecological footprint” concept, have signed. Several conservation organization presidents and past presidents have signed as well, including Brent Blackwelder (Friends of the Earth), Rod Heitschmidt (Society for Range Management), and John Proops (International Society for Ecological Economics). Doug LaFollette, Wisconsin Secretary of State, is one of several politicians who have signed. Herman Daly - one of the founders of ecological economics - serves on the CASSE Board of Advisors, helped craft the CASSE position, and was one of the first signatories.

    Brian Czech, President of CASSE, says CASSE’s “number one goal is to educate citizens and policy makers of the fundamental conflict between economic growth and environmental protection, economic sustainability, national security and international stability.”
The petition, found at www.steadystate.org, is one of CASSE’s primary educational tools.

    In addition to its signature list, CASSE has a list of endorsements from conservation organizations, and works with professional natural resources societies, such as the Ecological Society of America, to develop their own positions on economic growth. According to Shannon Pederson, CASSE Public Relations Director, “natural resources professionals will have to take a stance on economic growth. Otherwise, economic policy is left entirely to economists, corporations, and politicians, all of whom seek to maximize economic growth without understanding the perils.”

Hurricane Hazel
McCallion upends City councillors
Nov. 23 - 2005
“She [Hazel McCallion] put her agenda on the table and wiped the floor with us,”
adds Councillor Irene Jones (Ward 1), who left the meeting early out of frustration.

This maybe an oldie but it reminds people of a very important event in Mississauga's history - that
DID NOT HAPPEN!!
The efforts to build a transit link with Toronto and which failed or was it scuttled by Hazel for some reason?
Then there is the issue of how Toronto moved the bus stop for Mississauga buses from inside Islington station to
outside in the cold, snow and rain.
When politicians have a feud we pay the price.

Is Hazel McCallion
the
"Greatest Living Torontonian"
Nov. 22 - 2005
For those of us who know the facts about
who & what Hazel is,
to even ask that question is mind blowingly stupid!

Despite the obvious answer to any haft way intelligent person,
the media is holding a contest allowing this to be considered!

Mississauga's
Sad State of the Arts
Nov. 6 - 2005
In Mississauga there are growing concerns that the arts and culture are dying a slow death.
"Mayor McCallion has proudly stated that she runs Mississauga's finances like her own household.
I say she is a
wealthy and miserly matriarch."
&
"The city's cultural development has been paralyzed by her limited cultural vision and she governs by fear, intimidation and threat."

???? Can this be so ????

The proposed Natural Gas Power Plant in the Cawthra area
will not go ahead!
BUT one very close by is still planed
what is it (or who) about Mississauga that said dump on us?

Will Ontario government plans to use it for power generation
endanger supplies
create shortages & drive prices up?
May 29 - 2005
???? Will it lead to drilling in the Arctic ????

Even the Globe and Mail is warning us that using Natural gas
to generate our electricity is
unwise
"Imagine the premier of Ontario explaining to voters that the province can't build a Kyoto friendly gas plant to replace the doomed coal burners because Alberta needs the clean fuel to make oil for American SUVs."

The shutting down of the Lakeview generation station,
what happens to the land it stands on
& the hydro line corridor from the lake-shore to the QEW?
(Click Here for More)
Likely, the Mayor of Mississauga or the Queen of Sprawl wants the land to do her evil sprawl routine, again.
It is clearly established that urban sprawl kills people - it rips the lungs from our children - it creates life long health problems.
The end of cheap oil means the "The End of Suburbia" and the economy that supports it.
There is a Solution to it - A New Urban Development Economy called.
