Information has surfaced this week that the provincial Liberals knew as early as 2013 their Green Energy Act was a train-wreck waiting to happen.

Speculation says the information was kept secret to guarantee the Liberals a victory in the election that followed the anointing of Kathleen Wynne, after Dalton McGuinty walked the plank.

There has been no shortage of industry experts or professors on this show over the years that warned we were heading for energy poverty.

Why did she ignore the catastrophic confirmation from experts, including her own party sources, and continue to double down while wallowing in her majority?

Why did they not scrap the act that lacked due diligence, along with cost analysis, and start over?

Instead she chose to take advantage of your environmental sensitivities to win your vote rather than tell you the truth as to where this was all leading us.

Forget your kids, healthcare, education, jobs or the economy, we are dealing with a 30-year, self-inflicted hydro wound for no reason, other than political selfishness.

No wonder the Donald Trumps of the world are getting elected.

It seems the typical politicians are just out for themselves and re-election.

And we have more proof with Kathleen Wynne and her Liberals.

You’d think they’d ‘get it’ by now…

I’m Scott Thompson.
