Ontario Finance Minister Charles Sousa announced Friday his government will establish a council led by a banker to suggest ways to boost the return for the taxpayer shareholders of Ontario Power Generation (OPG), Hydro One and the LCBO.
PC MPP Vic Fedeli said the announcement is political cover for a Liberal budget that will increase spending, rather than a sincere effort by Sousa to make better use of public assets. “It’s just another panel that they’re going to ignore,” Fedeli said.
Selling Hydro One will be the exit clause on the unsustainable FIT contracts for solar and wind generated electicity.
ReplyDeleteIt can't happen soon enough.
These arseholes have taken the provincial debt from 80 billion to almost 300 billion since Mc Guinty's first term. But any revenue increases will go towards infrastructure. I guess any mention of Ontario's debt is a bit inconvenient at the moment.......so lets ignore it.
ReplyDeleteGee. I wish they'd thought of that 50 years ago
ReplyDeleteBut if it really was for sale and you boght it imagine the fun you would have slashing the bucket babys salaries in half
ReplyDeleteNot to mention selling their truck and handing them a pair of spurs!
DeleteNot to mention the "free" hot meal each day....not so "free" for the folks paying the actual bill....and the "free" work boots....and "free" work gloves and "free" coats/coveralls/bib overalls...."free" medical, dental. eyewear coverage....pension....on and on the list of perks goes.
DeleteWe CAN'T afford this crap anymore!
But it's a dangerous job eh? (may as well poke the wasp nest :)))
DeleteAbout as dangerous as a desk job. If a hydro worker gets electrocuted it's not because of high winds or faulty equipment or rotten visibility. It's due to carelessness.
