The Liberal Government at Queen’s Park has announced that it will halt construction on the natural gas electric generation plant in Mississuaga. The news was delivered by the local candidate and is clearly related to the tight contest between the Liberals and the Progressive Conservatives for Toronto area seats. A poll apparently shows the two parties in a dead heat for support as the Thursday, October 6, 2011 General Election looms. Those concerned about whether we’re going to be able to keep the lights on in Ontario may take some solace in the knowledge that such proclamations are not always set in stone, so to speak.
