Readers may wish to review chapters 2-7 of Blue-Green Province: The Environment and the Political Economic of Ontario (UBC Press 2012 - open access) to gain a clearer and more reality-based grasp history of electricity and energy policy in Ontario. The relevant chapters in the 2016 and 2024 editions of the Politics of Ontario would be useful as well. If the author of this article has any refereed publications of their own to share on these matters I am sure readers would be interested to know what they are.
