Doug Ford’s big broken promise on lower hydro rates.
Doug Ford’s big broken promise on lower hydro rates.
Doug Ford has promised to lower the cost of hydro electricity, but all he's done is use public money to subsidize the cost of the utility.
Why would for-profit companies in a natural monopoly EVER lower prices??? Energy, telecom, airlines.... We privatized all of them and fucked ourselves over...
Privatize everything!!! The prices will get lower!!! People are so fucking dumb....
12Privatized Electricity in Ontario was one more nail in the coffin of me moving to BC. Previously it was Ontario Hydro which sold to Enwin? I think. My bill went up because of new fees, one being Debt Retirement fee, which was paying off Ontario Hydros debt deficit. It rubbed me the wrong way because if you privately purchase a company you take on their debt/liabilities as part of your business strategy, forcing customers to pay your new debt when there was no alternate provider is just a horrible practise. Ontario should have forced Enwin to just absorb it as part of the takeover...Or left it public.

Remind me what he has actually done?
11For his rich investor buddies? Lots! Greenbelt development scandal, Ontario Science Centre scandal, privatization of Service Ontario to Staples, giving Brewer's Retail some absurd amount of money to get out of a contract 1 year early and privatize alcohol sales, scrapped paid sick days, inked a new contract with Enbridge to lock us into natural gas for many more years to come, the list goes on. Ontario is "Open for business"
13Service Ontario was already largely privatized, that's the entire reason it started. The already private drivers license offices were pulled into it and paid a commission too low to even cover their near minimum wage pay. Not disagreeing that it's a bad move, just adding in because most people don't realize most service Ontario workers are paid absolute garbage and treated like it by their employer.

We got those awesome new blue license plates! Oh wait...
7Still baffled how this guy keeps getting elected. Does buck a beer really resonate with anyone that has more than a high school education?

Let's just add it to the list :)
8This turd has been in government for 6 years and has so little positive to show for it, and so many quality of life declines it's ridiculous. For all the shit there isn't even buck-a-beer to flush it down.
