Foaming at the mouth ideologues is an interesting choice of words.

There's something else that's buggin' me about the stickers,too,(not that I'm agreeing with carbon taxes). Where does any government get off telling privately owned companies where and how they MUST apply political stickers to their gas pumps? Isn't that pretty much the same as a government telling a home owner what political signs or placards to apply to their property? Most people I know would tell them to FRO and boot 'em off the property.

Scrapping the carbon tax .... I mean "breathing and working tax" ( abetter name) and putting BACK the transit tax credit the Liberal's killed.... definitely in the correct direction ... as compared to the lie and tax strategy of the Libs...

No point in another post...

I'm thinking +$1 billion for a cancelled gas power plant in Oakville, or maybe selling Hydro?

See earlier post, hey sold 43% to a Spanish infrastructure company... 40% went to CPP and is putting money in the pension system... SNC has the rest.

Net result...added cost of living with ZERO results to the intended purpose.

If it was a lease,that would mean that the province still owns it. Wouldn't that leave it open to,at the least,expropriation and lease cancellation? I wonder why no government since hasn't jumped all over that?

Simple ... the cost... Probably over $30B+ based on https://business.financialpost.com/i...or-snc-lavalin and throw in probably some cancellation fees.

The risk free gravy train from the taxes, the money going to CPP .... only a NDP gov't would be that idiotic ... maybe the Libs if they thought they could win an election on that issue (using taxpayers money to buy votes....)... and both would probably end up with it requiring taxpayer funding to stay afloat.
