Electricity bills in Ontario to increase by 45% over the next 5 years

[Taxsaver]

A few days ago, the Ontario Prime Minister announced a 10% rebate for us. It was announced as good news by City News. And yet the day after, we learned that the average increase would be of 45%... In the video he does talk about a "massive project through large investments in modernisation of electricity...". Does not he say right there that there will be massive spending, therefore massive taxe raises? I'm wondering what the so-called journalists replied to that.

Rabble rabble rabble! We want the government to get their stinking hands off our electricity! We must be living in a pinko commy socialist lefty utopia if the government doesn't decide to subsidize hydro out of general revenues!
