Because Hydro doesn’t cost enough

I know.

We all have to be responsible and do our part to make the air cleaner, find greener sources of energy, and generally make the world a better place environmentally.

I also know.

It’s only $4.00 and it’s only a one-time fee.

But.

This fee was not debated in the House, consumers were not forewarned about it, and frankly I feel we pay enough on our Hydro bills already for the mismanagement of others.  If it wasn’t covered by the news media, we the consumers would never have even seen it coming.

Do we have any assurances that this will be a one-time fee?  Really?  And, given that Hydro is a necessity here in Canada rather than a frill, do we really have any choice as to whether or not we pay it?

Nope.

And on that note, I pass the virtual floor to Conservative opposition leader Tim Hudak and NDP leader Andrea Horwath to stir things up on the subject.

Ah, democracy.  Or lack thereof.
