Another outrage is the political donations made by municipally owned utilities to the Ontario Liberal Party (OLP). Documents from Elections Ontario show that hydro utilities have been donating continuously to the OLP in past few years.
OLP has been accepting donations despite the fact that the party’s website specifically states it does not accept donations from municipalities and their related agencies.
These utilities are also hiring "Liberal friendly" firms to lobby the Liberal government with taxpayers funds.
