The energy issue is going to be a real millstone – it is stunning how completely the media is accepting the 1:1 relationship between green energy and rate increases, ignoring the fact that the revenue outlay just does not match up. The largest driver of those rate increases is infrastructure spending, which is sad reflection of 20 years of neglect. That is something the PCs have to wear as well, their pseudo-market reforms did absolutely nothing to address known problems. McGuinty deserves criticism for leaving it late and not prioritizing it, but it is awfully rich to hear the PCs trying to make hay on the issue set.

If you guys don’t give way to the NDP on the new upper tax bracket, I think we’ve got a snap election.
Suits me fine.
Why, are you among the richest 1% or does serving elites ‘suit you fine’?
An election suits me fine, and I think that a quarter of any single person’s income is all the government ought to take, in peacetime.
But my point was analytical — if the Liberals go along with the NDP’s tax proposal, there’ll be no election.
If they don’t, we’re off to the hustings.
And I always think elections are fun. I’d have them every year if I could.
You’re like me, Tiger!
My only regret is, if we do have a snap vote, I’ll be out of the province. (Summer job elsewhere.)
But I’ll follow it closely from afar.
if the trend keeps up, could be an Orange Crush.
