So I think what Dutton is trying to say is that we should have state-owned energy generation with government-set electricity prices. Sounds like the Liberals have gone socialist!
Correlation does not imply causation and that this is a very poor "experiment" since the majority of Ontario's energy generation comes from renewables (from article). But unfortunately this doesn't matter for many people as much as it should, it's easy just to get your opinions from politicians or people online and in difficult times the easy solution is the preferred one. I suppose this leads to a deeper question as to whether representatives in a representative democracy should use their position for what is effectively lobbying of the democracy to have votes be cast in their favour. You can have a dictatorship with voting, where the candidate is whoever did a better job at convincing the people that they are right and "they" are wrong. Maybe we round up the "they" and send them away, maybe their opinions are a threat to our very way of life.
wtf am I saying - it's 10:45pm goodnight
