Ontario Politics

First Premier McGoofy quit. Then his Finance Minister walked out and now his Energy Minister is gone.  Is there something they haven’t told us?

The creaky ancient Bruce Nuclear Plant was sometimes billed as the largest of its kind on the planet.  It should have been put out to pasture decades ago.  Instead, the wizards at Hydro sold it (or did they lease it?) to the private sector in a coup that relieved Ontarians of both the unlimited liability and the responsibility for the crime of building it in the first place.  It was a crafty stroke of genius.

Back when it changed hands, much of the plant was inoperable due to advanced age, but not to worry.  The rust has been rising from the dead and if I’m not mistaken the whole junk pile is now creaking and huffing in an effort to power up the concrete and rebar monstrosities (hi-rise condo towers) springing up everywhere in downtown Toronto.

If the big three escapees from Queens Park show up in Argentina – look for trouble at Bruce, or Pickering or Darlington (Ontario nuclear plants).

First we had nuclear power.

Now nuclear power has us.
