Dougy is going to bring it down $0.1/L, wondering how he's going to do that? Never mind stop "long weekend" bumps in the price.

simple did you forget the carbon tax imposed by Wynne? 10 cents I believe ,all he has to do is drop it ,hope the former government didn't spend 5 years worth before they got to collect.

Did you forget the $1.5 BILLION a year the ‘cap & trade’ auctions brought to Ontario?

According to Stats Can Ontario consumes about 15 million litres of gas per year. So let’s see, 15 million litres at $0.10 / liter is $1.5 MILLION per year.

Meh, what’s three zeros amongst friends?

Maybe we should talk about electricity instead? Some golf pro from North Bay decided to break up Ontario Hydro a few years back, but the law prevented him form writing off the debt caused by giving his buddies a sweet deal on severance pay, pensions and fat pay cheques in general. So now we have a ‘debt retirement charge’ that never gets retired.

Wait, let’s go back to gas, the ‘road tax’ on gasoline used to pay for the MTO budget, but then that golf pro’s ‘No Sense Revolution’ included auction off billions in trucks and infrastructure to Party Faithful for penny’s on the dollar so they could get contracts to do the highway maintenance for 30% more than civil servants did it. Let’s not go into the wrongful death lawsuits over a lack of winter maintenance though, it will ruin the mood of Dougie’s celebration party.

Oh wait, let’s go back to the carbon tax, what about all those poor schmucks who spent money on installing solar panels & wind turbines on their property? The ‘guaranteed’ price of electricity they get paid is ‘X’ cents per kWh PLUS the subsidies..... ooops, what subsidies?


For those that ‘drank the Kool-Aid’ I truly hope it’s not as bitter as the last batch was.......
