ChristianGovernance eletter – August 9, 2012
Below is a brief excerpt from Leaving God Behind. We expect to be able to send the final proof to the printer next week so they can prepare a draft version of the book for us to approve. It is exciting to be able to make this important work available to Canadians. When we see what God has done in this nation in the past, we will hopefully be inspired to believe God for great things in the future.
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.

Laggard Ontario
By Livio Di Matteo
The Ontario government will be tabling its fall economic statement in the legislature on Thursday. Premier Dalton McGuinty, who has been seemingly unaware of the impact of his energy and economic policies on the province’s economy, would do well to take heed from the danger signs provided by another update – the recent Statistics Canada update to provincial GDP numbers.

Tribunal has some flaws
By Howard Levitt
Heralded by the McGuinty government as the protector of human rights in Ontario, the Human Rights Tribunal was to have ushered in a new era. Unlike the Human Rights Commission before it, the government assured us the Tribunal would efficiently process complaints and ensure fair hearings for employers and employees alike.

Ontario to bribe its power-shocked voters
By Terence Corcoran
This cannot be true. News reports say the Ontario government is going to bring in a new Clean Air Benefit, a payment to electricity consumers to help reduce their soaring electricity bills. In an economic statement Thursday, Finance Minister Dwight Duncan is apparently going to announce the Clean Air Benefit as a bold response to the growing realization across the province that Ontario’s electricity sector is a fiscal runaway train.
