That's what people voted for so you might as well get the butthurt out of the way now.

Wait a minute......are you telling me there is a world where one can both do laundry and eat dinner in the same day? Does the Easter Bunny live there, cuz I'm doubting the validity of that one.

Yes, yes there is freedom from tiered prices, just not where you are. It wouldn't be green.

People are willing to pay for action on climate change.

We all already do! These climate change conferences in
resort destinations aren't cheap....and aren't paid for out'a
the politicians own pockets. 200 national leaders and their
40,000 hangers-onners going annually to Paris or Cancun
to decide how next to preach to the rest of us to conserve,
etc....costs...

Of course they are.

But their hydro bill isn't action on climate change. It's mismanagement, waste, corruption, and contempt for the electorate.

Just because you think "probably" proves it's all about green energy, only proves how much of an extremist prog and idiot you really are.

Has Macleans dug into the harsh reality of consumption bills doubled by the cost of delivery? There's an economic cost to criminal behaviour too

I almost lost my mind when they started introducing all these BS charges. Reminded me when I got a ticket in Pennsylvania. There was a 911 charge, an EMS charge, a helicopter fee. I don't remember any of these things, I just remember the officer giving me a ticket for what he perceived as a rolling stop.

We still have that "debt retirement fee" which was supposed to have ended when the debt was paid off - except for the fact the Wynne/Ciarelli gang keep borrowing more against it

The report already shows we are ahead of the curve.

I'll be just fine during the transition.

Will you?

That's because you hang around people who are near death.
Your ageist bigotry is funny. I bet the oldest guy on my crew, at 64, would out work you any day of the week.

The report already shows we are ahead of the curve.
It also shows that even with all the green investment, Ontario residents paid $9.2B more than they should have.

It's sad that you backed, and now defend an inept Liberal govt.
