Don Bourassa says a proposed wind farm near his home in southeast Saskatchewan has ruined relationships in his community — to the point where he feels he has been bullied. A resident of the Rural Municipality of Weyburn, Bourassa said one of his neighbours approached him about buying his property to keep him quiet on Enbridge’s Seven Stars Energy Project.“He wants me out of there, to shut up,” Bourassa said in an interview. “That’s bullying and I’m not falling for that.“It’s neighbours hating each other.”Enbridge is planning to build the 200-megawatt facility near Weyburn, Sask., southeast of Regina, by late…

Some — price, battery life, camera quality — are mostly a matter of manufacturers balancing spec sheets to offset the added cost of the folding hardware. Others — durability, size — were practical design problems that have mostly been solved. But the crease always felt different, fundamental: something that foldables would be stuck with no matter what.It claims that the Find N6 is the first foldable with a “zero-feel” crease, one so subtle that you can hardly tell it’s there. And while there’s just a hint…
