Reaction to the Ford government’s Fall Economic Statement continues to pour in. Here’s what they’re saying…
One thing that stood out to MITCH DAVIDSON, former policy lead to Premier DOUG FORD and architect of the PCs 2018 policy platform: “The government is promising to cap the Ontario Electricity Rebate at 1,200 kilowatt-hours per month for residential customers.

“The OER will cost some $45 billion over a 20-year span without reforms like this, so if the government is serious about spending reform it will need a lot of these types of solutions.
