The Liberal's are making a killing on reconnecting disconnected hydro users

In 2015, some 60,000 people had their hydro disconnected in Ontario and the reconnect fee is $160.00 not including a security deposit upon re-connection and our energy minister Glenn Thibeault and the Liberals do not think we have a hydro crisis also the OEB and the Wynne Liberals do not factor in the number of people who can't afford hydro when they raise our rates in the spring and fall every year.

The Liberals stated our rates will increase for the next 17 years and they have no ideal how many customers are in arrears due to the quadrupling of our rates at peak time . When the Liberals came to power our rates were 4.3 cents a kwh all day long. Now our peak rate is 18 cents a kwh and 13.2 cents a kwh at mid peak rate when we need hydro the most, also we are over producing hydro which in most cases the Americans, Quebec and Manitoba are getting our hydro for free or pennies a kwh. even our off peak rates have doubled as they are now 8.7 cents a kwh. So what have the Liberal's done with all this revenue they created as we have the highest hydro rates in North America? Soon we will only own 40% of Hydro One due the 60% sell off in which the people of Ontario are now financing loans to help sell Hydro One stock thanks to premier Wynne. The Liberals keep telling us they have a plan and they are listening to their experts. So I ask you how is their plan working out for you? Contact: Glenn Thibeault at Tel 416-327-6758 or 705-675-1914 or by email gthibeault.mpp.co@liberal.ola.org Premier Wynne at Tel 416-325-1941 or 416-425-6777 or by email "Premier Wynne" premier@ontario.ca. Let them know the Liberals have created a crisis on Ontario because they just don't get it also remember in 4 years time Ontario's debt is predicted to rise to 350 billion dollars when they took office our debt was 138 billion

Sources of information are listed below Ontario projects steady rise in electricity costs for next 20 years The price of electricity is set to rise steadily in Ontario over the next two decades, with the most dramatic increases in the next five years. The province’s long-term energy plan, released Monday, projects a 42-per-cent jump in home power bills by 2018, climbing to 68 per cent by 2032. The cost for industrial enterprises will also rise, by 33 per cent in the next five years and 55 per cent in the next 20. Hydro: Ontario Energy Board urged to provide more data on energy ‘crisis’ The Ontario Energy Board (OEB), the arms-length regulator responsible for setting electricity prices in Ontario, is being urged by community groups from across the province to provide more detailed information on the number of customers affected by sky-rocketing hydro rates. Related “We’ve had informal conversations with the OEB explaining just how helpful it would be to know the number of people in arrears with their electricity bills,” said Francesca Dobbyn, executive director of the United Way of Bruce and Grey County. “We’ve also asked them to provide data on the amounts people owe and the number of disconnection notices they send out annually.” Hydro: Energy minister says conserve, disconnected family says it’s not enough By the time Lindsay Ambeault pays her monthly hydro bill, there’s barely enough left to cover the cost of feeding her family. “You feel helpless because all you do is struggle to keep your bills paid,” said Ambeault, 38, who lives in Sault Saint-Marie, Ont.
