The PC government’s inexcusable situation

Summary
Ontario’s debt is more than $338 billion dollars and getting worse. Ontario can save at least $70M dollars by stopping the proposed hydro-electric generating station at the Bala falls, and the government can save hundreds of millions, and even billions of dollars more of our tax dollars by stopping other Liberal “green energy” projects that would make power that the Ontario government now confirms isn’t needed.

E-mail Premier Doug Ford at Premier@ontario.ca and tell him he needs to keep his promise and stop the proposed Bala project because Ontario’s already has too much debt. Be sure to ask for a reply.
 

Ontario’s debt
Did you know that the province of Ontario is $338 billion dollars in debt – more than any other province or state in the world. And this debt will increase by more than $15 billion dollars this year.

• This year Ontario will pay more than $12 billion dollars just for the interest on this debt.
• Without this debt, Ontario could have used the $12 billion dollars to increase Ontario’s education budget by 50% or improve health care or meet other government obligations – being in debt is a waste of our tax dollars.

Yet in Bala, Premier Doug Ford plans on increasing Ontario’s debt by paying a Liberal donor $70M dollars for power Ontario doesn’t need. To pay down Ontario’s debt, the government is considering selling the LCBO or another profitable Crown corporation.

• The government could actually do such a stupid short-sighted thing just to reduce their annual debt, as this is exactly what the Liberals did in 2017 when they sold more than half of Hydro One.

It would be wrong to sell Ontario’s Crown Corporations just to pay private developers for power that isn’t needed.

It is time for Premier Ford to keep his promise and save at least $70 million dollars by stopping the proposed hydro-electric generating station at the Bala falls.
 

The Bala falls needs your help
If you want to stop the …

• Ontario government from paying at least $70M dollars of your tax dollars to a private developer for power that isn’t needed.
• Construction of a hydro-electric generating station that could not be operated safely with the current approvals.

Then the Bala falls needs your help.

Earlier this year, Doug Ford said: “Projects like this are hurting our province and costing taxpayers billions of dollars, all to benefit the political insiders, the political elites”, and that “This project stinks of political interest and insider deals”.
 

It is now time to e-mail Premier Ford at Premier@ontario.ca and let him know …

• He was given incorrect information when he claimed it would be too expensive for him to keep his promise to stop this proposed project.
• The province can save millions, and even billions of dollars by stopping these long-term contracts now.
• That to reduce Ontario’s deficit he must stop “the scam” deals, and that SaveTheBalaFalls.com has the information on how to do this without the risk of being sued.

Be sure to ask for a reply.
