The fact is . . .

"Mr. McGuinty has said little about Ontario’s electricity problems since the campaign began." – The National Post, September 30

So how come . . .

"Departing from past Liberal policy on electricity . . ."
– The Globe and Mail, September 30

. . . Dalton announces billions in new Hydro spending.
Even though . . .

"The last time Ontario got into the power plant construction business in a big way, taxpayers ended up on the hook for more than $38 billion in debt that has still not been paid off."
– The National Post, September 30

But just like the bad old days, Dalton says:

"We’re going to have to borrow money for it." – Dalton McGuinty, North Bay scrum, September 29

How much? Hey – who cares?

"Hydro is off-book. It’s not found within the Ontario provincial budget." – Dalton McGuinty on CFRB Toronto, September 29

Even though . . .

"We’ve always argued for transparency when it comes to Hydro." – Dalton McGuinty, blackout scrum, August 20

. . . and Energy Probe‘s Tom Adams calls it all:

"Very troubling." – The Globe and Mail, September 30

A billion here, a billion there . . . Pretty soon you’re talking
Dalton McGuinty.
