Under the government of Ms. Wynne, the Liberals’ preferred method of defence — their only defence, really, since the Premier has admitted that the cancellations were political in nature and has said repeatedly that she wishes the whole thing was handled differently — has been to try to rationalize the mistakes away by arguing that the two opposition parties were prepared to make them too.
This argument, though, sidesteps the fact that the government of the day has to take responsibility for its decisions, and it was the Liberal government that decided to site the plants in Oakville and Mississauga, that signed contracts with developers, and that decided to scrap both of them, at a time when all the leverage was with the private power companies, at a cost of what could end up being more than $1-billion. Make no mistake here: It was the Liberals that wanted to take credit for the cancellations, as was evident by the celebratory announcements that took place each time. It was only when things went sour did the government try to make the PCs and NDP equal partners in the decision to scrap the plants.
No, this scandal is the Liberals’ to wear alone. With the final bill now in, it’s all the more evident why Mr. McGuinty decided to quit a year ago next week. He knew this was coming. He had many reasons to run.

我觉得关电厂这事应该有人蹲监狱，可新省长只是道歉，还要 Move on, 就是拿百姓当猴耍。
当初自由党如果不关电厂，他们最坏的结果就是丢俩议席，还会是执政党。其他两个反对党万一即使上台，也可以因为费用问题反悔，当初麦不就是上台食言吗？
所以我认为，自由党就是为了自己得到一块钱，就滥权把老百姓的一百块钱往水里扔。
帽子不能往两个反对党头上扣。毕竟关电厂的是自由党！撒谎更是无耻！
发电厂搬迁损失：保守党NDP也该道歉
