Web exclusive: Dalton McGuinty’s “culture of conservation” doesn't seem to apply to Crown corporations
By Parker Gallant
W hen I wrote about “Big Becky” and Ontario Power Generation on this page a few weeks ago, I had no idea I would stir up a hornet’s nest.  I had simply written that it appeared that OPG was running way over budget on this $985-million dollar project and that the costs had ballooned to $1.6-billion and that there was a four-year delay to completion.  What I had hoped for was some plausible explanation as to what has happened but OPG was silent in its press release and in its management discussion paper when its 2009 annual report was issued. As a banker, my knowledge of rocks and tunneling is pretty limited.

About Me

My photo
I lean to the right but I still have a heart and if I have a mission it is to respond to attacks on people not available to protect themselves and to point out the hypocrisy of the left at every opportunity.MY MAJOR GOAL IS HIGHLIGHT THE HYPOCRISY AND STUPIDITY OF THE LEFTISTS ON TORONTO CITY COUNCIL. Last word: In the final analysis this blog is a relief valve for my rants/raves.
