I really appreciate it, Makarov. Puts some good meat on the discussion instead of just cherry picking "NDP are dumb" comments which I'm obviously contributing to. Your posts really do have me at least considering that the NDP might just have a case, even if it's an after the fact attempt to clean up a mess they created by not knowing the clause was in there.

I'd assume because it helps them get out of the PPAs which is something they want. Just playing the game.
