First Ontario Poll Post Election Shows Prospects, Problems

 The McGuinty Liberals would probably win a majority today, but that damned Mississaugua gas plant could become an albatross around their necks. 

Cancelling the thing at the very last moment seemed the Libs one campaign misstep (that and McGuinty's arm waving at the debate), although it didn't really harm them much at the time.  When you build your campaign around pandering to NIMBYs, as Hudak did, you can't really complain when your opponent turns around and does it better.

And its sad to see NIMBYism come to the 416; I guess its easy to be green when all the turbines/plants are located in someone else's riding.

Convert the plant to Hydrogen, generate the hydrogen off peak and when the wind is blowing and sun is shining. Plus it is easy to strip hydrogen out of Methane
