No kidding the deficit is ballooning - more American nuclear reactors and gas means more than $7 B/year added to the deficit to artificially lower electricity rates. What a waste! It's time to transition to low cost wind and solar.

Critics say Ontario's financial plan forgets workers
Ontario's fall economic statement fails to tackle the province's biggest challenges — auto industry struggles, rising unemployment and affordability — as US tariffs threaten the economy, critics say.

Local hydro bills get 29% larger starting this month, though most of that will be hidden in the taxpayer-financed Ontario Electricity Rebate. We all pay through the teeth for these high-cost US reactors & fuel that Doug Ford insists on importing.
