Wait until cap and trade kicks in. The cheese business is already paying more per kilowatt hour than I am paying in California, where the full effects of cap and trade are already in effect. Of course, there is no HST in California and my town does not levy a utility users charge (like a sales tax) on electricity. Somewhere in the calculations, the lower value of the C$ needs to be considered. When Ontario imports electricity from the US, it needs to pay for it in US$.

Sometimes voters do not make the right choices.
