Ontario

☢ An Ontario-Quebec power pact would have a win-win outcome <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=76d0e427be&e=45743fde61>  Ontario needs cheaper energy and Quebec has plenty of surplus power to offer. Ontarians already pay some of the highest electricity prices in the country. Importing power from Quebec is a much cheaper and more reliable option than continuing to depend on nuclear. By Jeff Rubin.

☢ Quebec, Ontario relationship back on track <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=d022174609&e=45743fde61>  Both Premiers are talking about taking advantage of Quebec’s hydroelectric surplus amid rising energy prices in Ontario. Can they do a deal that has eluded the two neighbouring provinces for decades — Quebec mired in political separatism and Ontario myopic about its own energy isolationism? Quebec Premier Couillard: “We have power available, we have surpluses . . . we also want to sell it to our neighbours.” At their first formal meeting in Quebec this month, Wynne said she needed “une bonne deal.” Couillard counters that the price “will be right.”
