Former Ontario Premier, Dalton McGuinty, unconvincingly serves as an apologist for his own criminally irresponsible Lieberal government and by extension the on-going disaster which is the Kathleen Wynne government

Ontario's former Lieberal Premier, Dalton McGuinty, fatuously claims that "My government's decision to end coal-fired generation and pivot to green energy was the right one." Uh huh, tell that to the thousands of businesses which were forced to close because of outrageous energy costs and provincial taxes as well as the hundreds of thousands of employee's who have lost their jobs in Ontario's as a result. One might make a reasonable arguement that ending coal-fired generation, as long as it was done incrementally, would be a good one; but, the poorly thought out pivot to unsustainable, unproductive, highly inefficient and very expensive green energy has proven an economic disaster for Ontario. We should have rebuilt and expanded our nuclear power or looked at hydro power options. The cost that "Being clean and green" has come with is being saddled with a criminally incompetent Lieberal government for 12 years. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-debate/being-clean-and-green-comes-with-a-cost/article27730073/?click=sf_globefb?ord=1
