Sometimes it's the little things that make it clear just how off the rails a government has become.Sure, the main thrust of Ontario's new long-term energy plan is bad enough. Residential rates are going up 42% over five years.
We're reminded big government disproportionately discriminates against the little guy. The average monthly bill will increase from $125 to $178.
If you're just getting by without a raise in sight this can be enough to knock you into the red.
Then again, you may lose your job before then. Statistics compiled by Hydro Quebec show that a big manufacturer using a lot of energy will pay $3.3 million per month in Toronto, but only $1.4 million a month in Montreal or $1.5 million in Vancouver.
That's a difference of more than $20 million a year. No hard feelings Ontario employees, but time for us to relocate, says many a cost-conscious CEO.
