It's time to admit that the green energy jobs, just like unicorns, did not magically appear in Ontario.  

With crippling sub-sovereign debt overhang, some of the highest electricity rates in North America, increasing taxes (see cap & trade), and an economy partially held up by a housing bubble, there is little reason for optimism.   

One of the principal architects of this failed plan in Ontario, Gerald Butts, is now a key adviser to our inexperienced figurehead PM, and we seem poised for similar wasted time and money at the federal level with limited economic benefits to show for it.
