It is no way awesome and it is not good for Ontario or Canada at all.
Anyone who says otherwise is a full on idiot.

Hi Eon,
Just because I hold different beliefs than you doesn't mean you should label or dismiss me as a "do-gooder". It doesn't hurt me for one, but more importantly you may be dismissing ideas alternative to yours that actually hold alot of merit.
Going "green" is a complex topic with lots of opinions on both sides. And while its true that the cost of electricity is high in many places, it is low in other places. In Quebec, using electricity for transportation makes all kinds of sense, economic sense included. In Ontario its more expensive for sure, but it doesn't mean that its bad.
I'd like to ask you more about a couple of things though:

Can you please show your math, and the source for where you found those rates?

This could be a valid point.

Maybe, but the price of gas and oil and natural gas also changes due to demand, and sometimes due to other factors such as the stock market, Opec, wars, etc. The price of fossil fuels has gone up and down wildly over the past 20 years while electricity has, as far as I know, not fluctuated that much.

The gas industry? Maybe. But is that a bad thing?

I don't "do-gooder" is an accurate term for me. I like technology, I like green energy, EV cars, high tech, etc. I don't see competition in business as a bad thing. I'm never impressed with the fossil fuel industry. So yeah, to me, this is cool and awesome.
Peace.
