Liberals promise 8% cut to hydro bill, and 20% if you're rural!

[fratri]

the cost of power. The human cost. Whether I mean hydro power, or those who care only about keeping their power. And what they will do to have power. People can make up their own minds.

so very much more that could be linked. Like the cost to these people when healthcare is hemmorraging as well. Due note, one of those couple can't afford to run their medicsal equipment necessary for life........ Or what it's going to "cost" and take just trying to fix.....just some....of this stuff. If and when they finally, get kicked out.

And it is beyond exasperating that....even to this day, so many things have to be "argued", despite oh so much. And or efforts to get back on topic despite how hard it is. Because some things are so intricately linked.

At at the end of the day, "we get the govts we deserve". Why do they do the things they do, waste these days, billions, or spend billions buying votes and support.

because "we" let them. No other reasons.
If "we" wouldn't put up with it, condone it and more. Being politicians who only care about staying in power......

The problem is "we are human" and as humans.... we can get used to anything...unfortunately we are getting used to getting screwed.....so much so, that it is become a way of life (acceptable).... When/why did we let the few become so powerful? We need to take the power back.... Maybe one day we will because they are suppose to work for us.

Yep. Not sure anyone can really pin a point in history and say "there, that's when"..probably like grass or children growing. A time comes when you realize suddenly they've grown 3 inches......

we, especially here in Ontario desperately need political reform. Yep, that includes getting the unions out of QP somehow, yet still allowing them to represent their members. That's their job, not helping to run things by controlling who gets or stays in. Forget illustrating how McWynne have used and benefitted from that. Anyone who dares say "boo"...very short political life. They are all "afraid" of them.

how many seats there are and where, aka combine some of the GTA, or create some more rural, needs to change I think. But even then, if we won't hold them accountable....why should they care. You look back just 20-25 years ago. The abuses, waste, and more are so much worse.
