That's pretty funny. "We didn't read it cause it was hard". How these people get one single vote is amazing.
I know everyone wants to pile on the NDP and blame the carbon tax here, so maybe this falls on deaf ears. This really has to do with the companies trying to get out from the contracts with the carbon tax potentially giving them a way. The PPAs aren't profitable. The clause lets them out if the unprofitability is due to a legislative change. But they're already underwater, before you even take the carbon tax into account.

Is that the fault of the NDP and their carbon tax? Sure doesn't look like it.
