Reality about energy prices

I keep hearing people blaming the Liberals about soaring energy costs.  The reality is that energy prices are going up everywhere around the globe and the last Ontario Conservative government failed at privatizing the industry and created a mess of Ontario Hydro.  It's an action that should have never happened as privatizing energy has never worked out well anywhere around the world.  Look at California as a perfect example of how it doesn't work.

I thought I would post a chart that shows how Canada compares to countries around the world when it comes to energy prices.

Notice that we are one of the cheapest in the world and Ontario pays average energy prices compared to all the other provinces.  So in reality it's pretty amazing the the Liberals have kept energy prices as affordable as they are given this and the mess that the last PC government made.

Hope you are all having a great day and did anyone review all the party platforms yet?
