The atrocious mismanagement of the electricity sector continues. Shifting tens of billions of dollars in waste and overcharges to further in the future or from ratepayers to taxpayers is pointless. It was the idiots of the last decade that voted Liberal, so why should people even after the 20-year span of the contracts pay for these mistakes? Unless the Liberals raise taxes again, or add another new tax, taking funds from the general budget only means more debt, so again, it's future Ontario that pays.

The only solution is to legislate changes to the contracts. This strategy has been validated by the courts already; the Ontario government has the right to do so. Many of the (Liberal) people who profited from the ridiculously overpriced contracts have already paid off the cost of their "investment" (some after five years or less of 20-year contracts), so to unilaterally change the contracts from 80c/KWH or 35c/KWH to a more reasonable 15 or 12c/KWH would be perfectly justifiable.
