capricorn Posted October 25, 2011 Report Posted October 25, 2011 Major work is continuing on a controversial Mississauga gas-fired power plant one month after Premier Dalton McGuinty’s campaign pledge to stop it.Progressive Conservative Leader Tim Hudak unveiled photographs taken Monday showing a huge generator en route to the site near Sherway Gardens. “This Mississauga power plant was supposed to have been cancelled by Dalton McGuinty during the election campaign,” Hudak told reporters at Queen’s Park. “It’s now 18 days later and the plant is . . . (still being) built. In fact, this is the most expensive component of what’s probably a $300 million to $400 million project. “Are they now breaking a promise only three weeks after the election?” he said, suggesting McGuinty is up to “the same old tricks to waste money.” On Sept. 24, in a surprise move just 12 days before the tightest election in decades, the Liberals revealed the 280-megawatt plant would be moved to a different location. The Saturday announcement — deliberately withheld from political journalists covering the campaign by order of senior Grits, who wanted only less critical local media in attendance — was designed to save the party’s seats in Mississauga and Etobicoke. It was a successful strategy as all area Liberals were re-elected on Oct. 6. http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/politics/article/1075117--full-steam-ahead-at-cancelled-mississauga-gas-plant The Liberals insist the power plant will be relocated. A fine start to an administration that continues to pull the wool over our eyes and shows disregard for how it spends our tax dollars. Quote "We always want the best man to win an election.

Boges Posted October 25, 2011 Report Posted October 25, 2011 (edited) Beats the alternative! Nice! acknowledge that he was lying about the power plant but say that it's OK because Hudak would have been worse. Edited October 25, 2011 by Boges Quote

Boges Posted October 25, 2011 Report Posted October 25, 2011 You're welcome! Dalton should just say Eff it and put that Oakville Power plan back on schedule. No one seems to care if he lies or not anyway. Quote
WWWTT Posted October 25, 2011 Report Posted October 25, 2011 It would be interesting to see what would happen to the power grid in and around that area of Miss. if there is no electricity added with a growing demand on the grid! Did the voters think of that before they started this "not in my backyard" campaign against the gas fired power generating plant? Hey I'm not saying McGuinty did not intentionally break a promise he could't keep,what I am saying is that some people will believe anything.(of by the way he did keep his other promise to get rid of the coal plant that was there) But hey we're talking about Ontario voters.We elected Harris twice so why am I not suprised?

capricorn Posted October 26, 2011 Author Report Posted October 26, 2011 Not sure what Frank Klees is thinking. $$$$? Is there a law that says he has vote with the government? No. But to break a tie vote Klees would probably side with the Liberals for the first two years to avoid an election that the voters would not want. After that who knows.

mentalfloss Posted October 26, 2011 Report Posted October 26, 2011 Yup. Thankfully, I want the generator to be built (and I live in Mississauga) so I don't really give a damn that he lied. That said, the people who bought into the lie probably won't be voting Liberal again. Quote

capricorn Posted October 28, 2011 Author Report Posted October 28, 2011 The majority of Ontario Liberal campaign promises may have to wait for the economy to improve, Finance Minister Dwight Duncan has suggested.--- "We made very modest undertakings in the campaign. I believe for 2011 and 2012 we will be able to move forward with some aspects. We also made commitments around a range of things that we didn't lay out timelines on," he said. http://www.ottawasun.com/2011/10/26/poor-economy-may-stall-ont-liberal-campaign-promises In other words: "We made just enough promises to make sure we'd get re-elected...but we didn't say when we'd deliver". Of course Dwight, it's the economy's fault. Quote "We always want the best man to win an election. Unfortunately, he never runs." Will Rogers

Shady Posted October 28, 2011 Report Posted October 28, 2011 McGuinty needs to resign now. Let's be honest. These aren't just political promises broken. They're blatant lies told to Ontario voters in order to win re-election. This pathological liar needs to resign immediately. Quote
Shwa Posted October 28, 2011 Report Posted October 28, 2011 McGuinty needs to resign now. Let's be honest. These aren't just political promises broken. They're blatant lies told to Ontario voters in order to win re-election. This pathological liar needs to resign immediately. No he doesn't because a party platform and election promises aren't "lies" when they aren't implemented. Environments change which affects the ability of any government to implement their programs. The massive debt the McGuinty government inherited from the previous PC government for example, which was not fully disclosed during the 2003 election. Really, if you're not part of the solution, you are part of the problem. And the problem with the Ontario Progressive Conservatives is that they are bland, no new ideas, no vision of the future for Ontario. Nothing. Hudak campaigned on that and lost, but here you are spouting the same tired, old nonsense. Yawn. Quote

Shady Posted October 28, 2011 Report Posted October 28, 2011 (edited) More Hudakisms. Yawn. No defense huh. That's what I thought. It's too bad you didn't care about a lying Premier the way you care about a 911 call and a comedian. I see your priorities are in order! Edited October 28, 2011 by Shady Quote
Shwa Posted October 28, 2011 Report Posted October 28, 2011 No defense huh. That's what I thought. Defence of what? Ineffectual, old bullshit that didn't get Hudak elected? Well Shady, at least your integrity is still intact. It's too bad you didn't care about a lying Premier the way you care about a 911 call and a comedian. I see your priorities are in order! As you can see, the comedian is far more interesting. At least as a buffoon, Mayor Ford can change his tune and show some progress. Hudak and the present Ontario PC Party is a prescription for severe insomnia. Quote

So apparently the wasting of millions of tax dollars on continued construction on a project promised to be ended by our pathological premier is less interesting huh. Well that speaks volumes on the mentality youre dealing with. Congratulaions. Keep chasing the shiny object. Quote

Got nothing to look forward to, might as well look backward and blame. You use to be cool PC Party of Ontario. You've changed man. Yawn Quote
