And Those Who Want To Join It®: Enbridge Gas applies for 11 percent increase in Ontario gas prices
The natural gas distributor filed its application for an increase in January, saying higher costs associated with the federal government’s Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act (more commonly known as the carbon tax) would add increased costs that the company will need to recoup from customers.

The carbon tax is revenue neutral in the same sense that PM Trudeau’s federal budget has been balancing itself for the last four years.
And here in Ontario, Double-cross Doug’s “Conservative” government continues to aid and abet the energy foolishness and enrich the eco-parasites.

Hey reelection is more important than sane policy, keeping promises, or anything else.
I have said it before; none of the oil companies are serious about energy sanity anyway. If they were, they would have already given all the greens what they wanted; no fossil fuels.
Enbridge should just stop delivery till they get exactly the price they want, and it should be more like 400%.
FREEZING IN THE DARK IS JUST PART AND PARCEL OF NO SOCIAL ACCEPTABILITY FOR PIPELINES
TOWNS AND PEOPLE BURNING IN DERAILMENT OIL FIRES IS JUST PART AND PARCEL OF A CARBON FREE ECONOMY.
Your “heart aching” for them, is the feeling of your surrender and their victory.
The above Industrial wind project was stampeded through and rubber stamped by the bureaucracy and the Wynne government days before her government faced certain defeat by voters. It should be canceled and the bill sent to Ont Liberal Party. Whatever the cost, Ont would save money in the long run by not building any more useless wind turbines.
The solution to that problem is to turn out this government and elect a no-carbon-tax alternative. I don’t believe that the CPC under its current leadership is such an animal, so that would have to be the PPC under Max Bernier. Even there, I await clarity on the policy front.
In western Canada, it is becoming a choice between a PPC option or separation. I favour the PPC option but this all needs to be accelerated to get out in front of inevitable forces for the separation option as growing numbers of western Canadians come to realize that government from Ottawa within a globalist framework inevitably means colonial status for the west and denial of legitimate economic development.
We are going to see a counter-revolution in this country parallel to developments in the U.S.A., which I predict will be the scene of massive pushbacks against the globalist cabal now that Mueller is a dead fish. You can feel it coming — high crimes and potentially treason will be uncovered and dealt with. Our elites had better realize that if these matters are not resolved peacefully at the ballot box then natural forces of justice will arise to deal with them in some other way. Their best option in both countries would be resignation where they hold power, surrender to legal authorities even before the indictments come down but certainly the moment after that occurs. And it will occur.
Canadians have been very slow to react to the globalist takeover of their country. It has been building in stages since about 1988. The Harper government was supposed to reverse the process but instead was co-opted into partial acceptance. That wasn’t good enough for the globalists so they moved their man into power (and took over various provincial governments along the way). Apparently the chosen leader is rubbing some of the true believers the wrong way. We actually don’t have much in common with the Liberal dissidents, they are probably looking for a change in leadership to get somebody who walks the walk and talks the talk. So there won’t be some sort of broad-based revolt against the Ottawa establishment led by dissident liberals, that is a sort of Gorbachev end game phenomenon. (meaning a Canadian Gorbachev might briefly arise, but then be swept aside in a deeper counter-revolutionary move by forces opposed to the party’s philosophy altogether).
The mention of January shows that Enbridge hold out some hope of a reversal in October. At the rate we are going, they might get a reversal in June. I am not sure this government can continue on to a fall election, one might be forced upon them before that.
Actually, lots of people have been joining the middle class since Trudeau took power, thanks to his policies.
They used to be upper middle class….
Global Warming TAXES (and punishing energy rates) are the most regressive tax on the working poor and middle class ever devised.
Hay, it could be worse – they could be living in New York state.
Con-Edison is limiting new connections because of present pipe line capacity.
Gee, I wonder if this has anything to do with New York govt voting against any new pipe lines crossing the state?

That’ll make the ecofreaks put their money where their mouths are. LOL
11%? Ontarians should consider themselves lucky. In Oilberta, we pay about 4 times that much on natural gas carbon taxes.
We just switched to natural gas here in BC and got our first bill. The whole bill was $96 the natural gas itself was $12, the carbon tax was $14, and the rest was all associated delivery charges storage charges and other levies.
Let me repeat, nearly $100 – of which $12 was product.
That’s even the norm in Alberta.
It appears that we will have to get used to the legalized extortion.
