Lawyers acknowledge extremist nature of McGuinty’s state-ist eco-energy agenda
Unfortunately, instead of condemning it, they express an apparent enthusiasm for this state-ist, eco-religious economic boondoggle that has been thoroughly condemned in the pages of the Post and elsewhere for sound economic and scientific rationale.

Editorial: McGuinty’s hydro bait-and-switch
Ontario’s economic update is in – and the provincial Liberals’ desperation level clearly is up. In advance of the update, provincial Finance Minister Dwight Duncan already had leaked the Liberals’ plan to cut Hydro bills by 10% for five years by using $1-billion in borrowed money. That populist sop would be ill-advised under any circumstances, but especially so given Ontario’s projected 2010 deficit of $18.7-billion.

By Gary Rennie
Ontario NDP Leader Andrea Horwath skewered the Liberal government and cabinet ministers like Windsor-Tecumseh MPP Dwight Duncan on Monday for taking donations from public energy utilities, including Essex Power. The local utility’s money for two $950 tickets to a Liberal party fundraiser ended up being spent on a Toronto-area byelection, according to party records filed with Elections Ontario naming contributors over $100. A $204 utility cheque went to Duncan’s riding association.

Lights out on PEI’s wind power dream
By Lorne Gunter
There’s a nice bakery near where I live that recently started boasting it had switched to wind energy to power its ovens. A sign informed customers that the owner recognized an energy-intensive business such as baking generated a large carbon footprint, so he wanted everyone to know he was “taking proactive steps” to reduce his production of greenhouse gasses.
