Time to admit a failed “green dream.”

With many Ontario seniors having to choose between buying groceries or paying ever-escalating hydro bills, this is not good news. Never has any government so mismanaged a file as the Ontario Liberals have boggled the hydro one.

Common sense has been replaced by ideology as the Wynne Liberals have squandered billions, mostly paid to foreign companies, for inefficient and highly subsidized green energy systems.

Even with thousands of solar systems and wind turbines blighting Ontario’s landscape, these devices produce a mere fraction of the province’s overall hydro needs.

And yet, the Liberals plan to tread down this same destructive path even as more and more companies flee because of hydro costs.

Now, Wynne plans even more harm to the economy with a carbon tax.
