Another scandal plaguing the McGuinty Liberal is the cancellation of the 2 hydro generating gas plants in Mississauga and Oakville that cost the Taxpayers $650 Million.
The 2 plants were cancelled in order to save 2 threatened Liberal seats in the 2011 Provincial Elections after strong opposition from the local ridings. The decision was politically motivated.
Again more unscrupulous behavior from McGuinty’s liberals.
