Did anyone believe him? Anyone…? Beuller…? Dalton McGuinty told you a) Smart Meters will save you money on electricity & b) They would be revenue neutral. Always revenue neutral with these guys, always that means there is the same amount of revenue as before, but they’ll have more of it.
Here’s what I said about Smart Meters, as it related to a rate increase a Toronto Hydro because of successful conservation efforts:
…once everybody is doing their dishes in the middle of the night demand will increase at that time, causing the rate to increase in the middle of the night.
Of course, I was off a bit: Premier Dad didn’t wait until everybody was doing their dishes in the middle of the night. Smart Meters raised everybody’s electricity bill automatically, regardless of when you use electricity.
I’ve been paying HST all over town. I can’t wait for the election to vote against this guy.
Dalton McGuinty doesn’t seem to quite get, he’s got a real problem.
The question is, does Tim Hudak get that he’s got a real opportunity. Smart Meters are just the tip of the iceburg.
Dalton, In Dalton McGuinty’s Ontario…, taxpayers
HST, Premier Dad, Smart Meters, Tim Hudak

You are in select company Gerry.
Neither you or Jack Layton have seen the budget, but you are slagging our Prime Minister for it just in case it might contain something you dont like.
It is quite tiresome.
Add me to the company. Here’s what we do know about the budget: it will put Canada in a massive deficit position for the first time in ten years; it is based on the flawed theory that government can, as we Ontario conservatives laughed when Bob Rae did it, spend itself rich. The Bob Rae analogy, by the way, isn’t superfluous: stimulus of the kind we are dealing with here is exactly what Bob Rae did, and we mocked. We mocked because he was wrong and because it failed miserably.
If you are a conservative in philosophy, you cannot possibly support this budget because it is wrong headed and based on bad political philosophy. If you are a Conservative Party supporter, you should not support this budget because it could banish the party to the political wilderness, just as spending themselves rich did to the NDP in Ontario.
What Jack Layton has against the budget I can’t tell, it has all the makings of an NDP budget. But we know enough about what is coming, enough has been leaked that we know it is going to contain a lot that we don’t like.

…that it’s stress related?
Me, I love the idea that Toronto catholic school taxpayers pay her “expensive restaurant bills… on weekend nights where the bill is delivered around midnight”, Then they get to pay for her “plus sized clothing and lingerie.”
pimply minions of bureaucracy, taxpayers
