Adding insult to injury, the Wynne government announced today that Ontario residents will supposedly get a 25-per-cent cut in their hydro bills. Really?
What they mean is that the insurmountable debt they have created with total mismanagement of the energy system in Ontario will be drawn out over a longer period of time so that the taxpayers, and their children and great-grandchildren will have to pay for many more years.
This huge debt and senseless long-term contracts they negotiated will not go away — the debt has to be paid, and it will cost even much more with the accrued interest over a longer period.
So who do they think they are kidding with this election ploy? Elections are next year, and voters will not be fooled by a short-term gain for long-term pain.
