They enacted legislation without understanding the consequences, and their excuse is "Well we didn't read it". And now they are trying to spin it to their side by calling it the "Enron Clause" (with all the associations that go along with that name), and saying it was a last minute addition....to a contract that was agreed to by all parties.

Trying to justify incompetence with tone deaf rhetoric and spin is so frustrating!
This is actually going to be worse then the Ontario Gas Plant scandal that sent peoples utility bills through the freaking ceiling.

And that was only a 1 billion dollar f-up and lie. This is 2 billion and a population of 4 times the size of Alberta to force repayment from.

So now on top of the carbon tax crushing onto our bill, we're going to get stuck with this repayment?

So how much is this going to impact our utility bill, and what else is the government going to sneak into it.

If this government had any integrity they'd resign for looking like total idiots and embarrassing themselves and blundering every file and budget and appointment that they've put their hands on.
