Power failure

The soaring price of electricity is due to the green-energy activism of George Smitherman

Corrupt liberals often mock conservatives as being incompetent and, therefore, unqualified for political leadership. Yet they repeatedly elect the most incompetent buffoons. Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty knows nothing about economics because the only thing he seems to want to do with money is to bribe taxpayers with their own money. Let’s hope there are enough Ontarians in the next election with sufficient maturity and self-respect to vote for someone else.
Ontario hydro ratepayers are at the mercy of a religious fanatic in Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty. His Green Energy Act is spiking costs of energy for Ontario citizens and they have no recourse because the Premier’s agenda is “religious” in nature, not reasoned and science-based. Japan has come to the rescue of Ontarians by filing a complaint against the GEA with the World Trade Organization. Their specific complaint is that the legislation unfairly favours local companies, so protectionist unions will probably oppose the complaint. Ontarians, however, should welcome the move as a possible opportunity for deliverance from the paternalistic tyrant who runs the province.
In the days and months ahead, ChristianGovernance will be building the foundations for three issues that we already know we want to highlight in the next Ontario provincial election: education, human rights and the energy oligopoly.
Much of this work will revolve around the intellectual foundations, demonstrating the rationality and necessity of the positions we are advancing. We will also make the case for the strategic sensibility of our positions. We will interact with critics who challenge our positions.
