More good news on the "state" of Ontario

[fishermccann]

If it does it will not affect me, or mine. Financially secure , no debts, house and cottage paid for, money in trust for the kids. The only thing I might have to do, is move to a gated community, ( or buy more ammo). I just enjoy watching members of an out of doors forum discuss how the world should be run, good entertainment.

I'm stunned. I've never seen a Liberal that admitted to being an internet troll. Gee,whoda thunk that? LOL

Does enjoying others comments on the state of the world, make one a troll? I have voted for all parties at one time or other.

talk about being privileged - this is certainly not the attitude the average person can afford!
That reminds me of the Marie Antoinette quote in response to the food (i.e. bread) shortage when she said they should eat cake instead.
Are you really as far removed from reality as she was?

Your right, I am not the average person, and I know that I have it great, that is why I enjoy my life, every chance I get. I enjoy it when people on this site call me a liberal, as I have likely voted conservative more often in my life, than the other two parties combined. Just not harper.

I'm glad you are successful and I think everybody should be as long as it wasn't at the expense of others.

Here, Wynnocchio buys votes and influence by pandering to Teacher's unions, LE's unions, Healthcare's unions, Hydro Unions.

If you aren't in one of those GOVERNMENT funded entities, you're seeing less revenue and more taxes and higher bills.

It put you on a watch list if you protested a pipeline or hazardous materials going through you neighborhood, how is that for a loss of rights. Right up here with selling un-pasteurized milk after you have been ordered by the courts to stop.

If you actually believe the bu--sh-t you are trying to get us to believe, I am at a loss for words. The only ones that were afraid of that bill, were the ones that should have been!!!!!!!

Are you one of them???

I , and I assume a lot of others had no qualms with it whatsoever!!! Wait except the ........

Bottom line?

Our fathers, grandfathers, mothers and grandmothers fought two world wars all the while building an entire infrastructure and country then handed off to us baby boomers a thriving country that was monetarily balanced.

In one generation we have made a complete boondoggle of the everything. cons, libs and fringe parties all had a hand in this

Ontario Hydro customers paid billions extra because Liberals ignored their own energy plans: AG
http://news.nationalpost.com/news/ca...on-projects-ag
The electricity portion of hydro bills for homes and small businesses rose 70 per cent between 2006 and 2014, which Lysyk said cost consumers $37 billion in so-called Global Adjustment payments to generators — and will cost ratepayers another $133 billion by 2032.

At least now it must be seen as official: Ontario’s electricity regime is a gargantuan fiasco, a dysfunctional, overpriced, mismanaged system that for most of the last decade has been abandoned to the provincial Liberals’ gross incompetence and deliberate abuse of governance.
,,,
Consider this short selection from her long list of descriptive conclusions:

• Over the last decade, Ontario’s power-system planning process has essentially broken down and has not had a technical plan in place.

• The Ministry of Energy told the AG that a technical plan was no longer warranted at one point because the process is expensive, lengthy and inflexible for responding to market changes.

• Operating outside the checks and balances of the legislated planning process, the ministry has made several decisions about power generation that have resulted in significant costs to electricity consumers.

• After a two-month stakeholder consultation process for its 2010 policy plan, the document was released just five days after the consultation period ended. The ministry could not provide a summary of the consultation results.

• The government scaled back the role of the regulators and took to issuing ministerial directives by the hundreds.

..

No cost-benefit analysis, lack of transparency, no interim reporting, incomplete technical reviews, lack of ministerial direction to agencies, arbitrary ministerial decisions, limited regulatory oversight, lack of consultation — the Ontario Liberals did all that they should not have been doing and nothing that they should have been doing.
Is anything right about Ontario’s electricity system? If there is, Ontario’s attorney general does not appear to have found it.
