Hey Ontarians – Here’s A Billion Dollar Sign Of Our Times

A Brief Note on this one from Niagara At Large publisher Doug Draper

I am posting this one because it so expresses the view many people in Ontario, including this Ontarian, have that the province’s Liberal government flushed more than a billion of our tax dollars down the toilet when it cancelled plans to build two gas-fired energy plants in Oakville and Mississauga to secure seats there in the 2011 provincial election 

Only major problem I have with this image is that it should contain the face of the Liberal premier at the time, Dalton McGuinty, and not Kathleen Wynne.

It was McGuinty, when he was premier, who failed to exercise the powers he had to place these two gas plant proposals under full environment assessment reviews (thus giving opponents in Oakville and Mississauga intervener funding to higher their own lawyers and expert consultants to show why these plants may damage people and property in their communities). And it is he who should pay whatever price, up to and including criminal prosecution depending on the outcome of ongoing police investigations into this matter.

And lest we forget, the opposition Conservative Party of Tim Hudak also promised to cancel these gas plant plans up to the 2011 provincial election.
