Why is Ontario turning its back on low-cost, low-carbon power?The Doug Ford government’s perplexing approach to keeping the lights on in Ontario took another bizarre turn recently when it tore up an energy co-operation agreement with Quebec. This agreement was a way for Ontario to access the low-cost clean water power that Quebec has in abundance. Quebec is a green-energy superpower. Ontario, not so much.
