High noon challenge Saturday between Bala Falls opponents, MPP Norm Miller?

BALA — Bala Falls hydro opponents won’t let go.

They plan a high noon showdown with Norm Miller tomorrow at the power plant construction site.

They are challenging their MPP to face off with them at the falls Saturday.

They are incensed by Premier Doug Ford’s broken promise this week and his “gross misrepresentations responding to the controversy for the proposed hydro-electric generating station at the Bala Falls” they say in their latest missive on the matter.

The Save The Falls opposition group is rallying Sept. 1st at noon on the Muskoka Road 169 bridge in Bala.

They are disappointed that Ford claimed there had been extensive consultation with his government, when in fact they say there has been none.

And they dispute his claim that cancelling this project would cost “a fortune,” when in they allege that in fact it would “save millions of dollars.”

Their release claims that SaveTheBalaFalls.com has found opportunities to cancel the project “that wouldn’t open the government up to liability, but no one in the premier’s office or even local MPP Norm Miller will accept a meeting to listen.”

They say Miller has been hiding from and not supporting his constituents on this issue since the June provincial election.

SaveTheBalaFalls.com has challenged Miller to attend the rally to explain his, and his government’s, position.
