Help Save Hydro
March 20, 2016
Top 3 reasons privatizing hydro is a bad idea:
* Hydro rates will keep on skyrocketing: They've tripled since the Tories partially privatized Hydro in 2002. They'll go up even more if the Liberals privatize it even more.
* We'll lose thousands of businesses: The Ontario Chamber of Commerce says if hydro rates keep rising, 20,000 businesses will go bankrupt or move to places with cheaper hydro (almost any other province or state in North America).
* It will mean cuts to schools and hospital: As a public entity, we get Hydro One's profits -- $780 million last year alone -- which fund public services. Privatized, that money will
go to wealthy Bay Street investors.
