1. Listen here Liberals- if you bring in more taxes on top of the ones you've already introduced: I will lock down my wallet, I will not pay one cent more in taxes.
   
   I will do anything and everything in my power to ensure you are not re-elected, I will promote to the best of my ability any competing candidate in a Liberal riding.
   
   I will be on social media complaining about the state of our communist province; I will talk to family and friends actively, with the purpose of denying you votes.
   
   You've been warned, the ball is in your court.
   
   Signed,
   
   Taxpayer

2. Released? Is this a joke?
   
   Can we implement voting for some of these 'boards' and 'review panels' and 'judges'?

3. @Harold I think we should buy every employee at city hall a membership at a local gym, so they can cycle to work and have a shower nearby. Then we will have a dedicated employee at the gym carry their bicycles to a custom-built limousine, which will ferry them to the office-place, this way we'll save half a million dollars, and the water bill won't go up!

4. @spicygarage Clearly we should spend a little more, so that they can have some personal attendants to shave their fabulous body-hair and perhaps a bit of massage before they grace the office with their work-presence. Perhaps follow them around the office carrying the bicycles, should they have a need arise to get their cycle-on.

6. @Herry69 You have a point, OPG has vested interest. I would like to see them focus on power distribution instead of generation, since it's clearly time we update tech on that side of things. We have blackberrys and they're still burning coal in some places?!? that's what we did when THERE WERE NO PHONES AT ALL.

7. @Ernie It's not about shutting off all the coal plants Ernie, it's about decentralizing power generation, and like the internet, making it terrorist proof.
   
   The real issue is that the traditional power generation techniques can't be shut off when the sun is shining, and secondly, that there isn't a battery system that can normalize the system.
   
   Well thirdly, the government throwing our money down the toilet and calling it green, making friendly power look bad.

8. @@Coffeecon I'm glad you agree with me. Aside from the government interference these projects are moving ahead, and if you scrub the costly programs then it's not a revenue sink. I deal with many turbine/solar sales org's who are selling to farmers who want to get off grid and stop paying for electricity.
   
   Also, the government money did not pay for the development of wind turbines. wind turbines have existed in many places for many years.

9. @CoffeeCon 80 per cent of its generation occurs when electricity demand is low. It says the province then takes a substantial loss,
   
   -The loss of potential profit/sales is NOT the same as a financial expense/loss. Thanks for nothing on this report, Fraser.

10. The reason energy prices are so high is because of the 'privatization' (haha, makes me laugh every time) and the creation of an energy 'market' (hahaha again). They split hydro into three pieces- now it needs 3 CEO's, 3 CFO's, 3 of everything else!
    
    Green energy is a label for other things; Green energy is a label for Liberal subsidy programs; Green energy is a label for sole-sourced Samsung contract- The fact that a gust of wind pushed a turbine is itself NOT the reason for high prices! Sheesh! The high prices are a result of bad liberal provincial policy, stop the madness!
