http://www.citynews.ca/2016/05/17/ontario-liberals-want-to-eliminate-reliance-on-natural-gas-report/I know nothing about this story but here's my considered opinion. The Liberals have no desire for us to give up natural gas for heating but are laying this initial foundation as a negotiating tactic to better manipulate the price of natural gas in the distant future because paid for and/or installed NG politicians.
I won't be surprised if they want to ban gasoline next
They have effectively banned coal, and in more and more cities you can no longer install wood-burning appliances or fireplaces in a home new-build or renovation.
There is a serious push to take non-renewable or pollution-emitting fuels out of the picture, and there are a lot of opinions as to the best way to do so. Trial balloons like this tend to encourage people to think out of the box. Electric heat is getting a lot more efficient as are home insulation standards, and modern day state-of-the-art electric-based heating is a lot different from the old baseboard heating fixtures of the 60s and 70s.
And yes, it is just a matter of time before gasoline-powered vehicles go by the wayside, just as steam-powered cars did years ago.
Come on we all know who voted for Wynn, everybody sucking on the Government's teat. Teachers, civil servants, unions and everybody else who thinks the inmates should be running the jail!
We have another 2 years until the next Provincial elections... Please get Wynne out. =/
