A document was leaked to the Globe and Mail, describing a $7 billion climate change plan of the Liberal government.  End natural gas heated homes by 2030 (electricity or geothermal instead, increase retrofits of properties, have more electric cars, etc.)  Ultimate target is 80% reduction in ghg emissions below 1990 levels by 2050.

I wonder if there was a deal cooked up between Wynne and the private companies gobbling up Hydro One. (i.e. We'll "take Hydro One off your hands, at a fire sale price, of course, if you'll guarantee us a captive market we can exploit.")

I can smell the emissions from here, and they have nothing to do with greenhouse gases.

Yeah.  It'll be interesting to see the document when they actually release it.
