Harris Conservatives

"Under my leadership, the debt retirement charge will come off the residential hydro bill. Families have paid enough ... we're going to get it done," Hudak told reporters during a stop in Ottawa Wednesday.

I am so pleased to hear that the leader of the official opposition has the desire to lower the burden on Ontarians by taking away the debt retirement charge, this will certainly be a big plus for all citizens in Niagara West-Glanbrook. Its really admirable that politicians are promising to reduce our taxes, but I have to wonder at what cost theses reductions will be, will there be drastic underfunding to public services, like the ones implemented during the Harris conservatives. I wonder how the leader of the official opposition plans to eliminate the debt retirement on our bills because our debt can not just be erased, with no interest collected, I think even a third grader would know that. I think to myself, "Will a new charge for the same amount as the debt retirement start to appear on our bills, or will perhaps the cost of a kilowatt go up so the price of our energy bills shall in fact remain the same." It seems to me like a great promise with no real means for implementation especially when the leader of the opposition at Queen's Park is purposing yet another environmentally unfriendly, expensive, and unsafe nuclear power project that will surely leave Ontario with more debt, as every nuclear power project has neither come in on time or on budget. How does the leader of the official opposition plan to take away the debt retirement especially with another costly nuclear power project he has proposed. Citizens should always be weary when they hear promise that are too good to be true.
