People, we are not dicussing a boring free trade issue, our people ARE HURTING NOW. It calls for action immediately, and not handled in a casual timeframe. We need emergency measures, and the federal government needs to step in.
I'd use the standard methods used when our citizens are threatened by an enemy.
Expropriation and Cancellation
1/All "freebee contracts" that involve Ontario electric energy sales to foreign countries go on hold until we solve our problems. f&^*% Trump. The power is immediately shifted to the Ontario grid.
2/Ontario energy saleries drop to competative rates. You Ontario energy workers have to admit to having a pretty good run so far, right?. The Party is over. Time to show loyalty has a Canadian citizen. We have the largest volume of lakes and standing fresh water in the world, right? Then prove it and use it. If Trump wants to muscle flex, we divert our water sources from heading south.
3/Only now we now discuss the problem. If you think that's mean, we recall the US dumped us immediately when it came to agricultural concerns.
4/ Hydro and G7 pushed for alternate energy and Ontario responded enthusiastically. Trouble is the government wasn't ready for that response and now doesn't know how to handle the laod it's getting.
You will note we act first THEN discuss. Same has in expropriation in times of emergency and this is one. Remember when farm vehicles and natural resources in time of "war" gets diverted to the war cause.
My personal opinion? Hydro is a federal issue, not provincial. This way we can invoke more rules that deal with the real constitutional issues involving citzen's rights in British common laws, so we can force changes on a national level.
Will it cause a great fiasco, you bet. In the first year many will be in an uproar until it settles and we go back to using energy that is OURS FIRST. Remember when Brazil declared bankruptcy? The time frame was very short and every nation had an interest in getting it back on it's feet. We hardly noticed when Brazil didn't bat an eye. It was right back on it's feet pronto due to a few free-bees from national banks. How much more are we deserving has citizens if we can be "johnny on the spot" when foreign nations receive quick aid from generous Canadians?
Time for us to declare a loss cause and start over. We can't apply a cure to the problem until we admit there's an illness.
