Ouch. The other day, Dalton's gang leaked information about the fall economic statement to the Toronto Star, trumpeting the fact people are supposed to see a 10 per cent reduction in their energy bills.
The story ran front page on Wednesday, and was followed by a Jim Coyle column this morning (Thursday morning) crowing about how McGuinty had outfoxed the Conservatives on so-called pocketbook issues.
Well, not so fast.
It turns out there was a little surprise the Star didn't know about. Once the economic statement was actually released, it became clear the government is still predicting hydro bill increases. Even when the 10 per cent rebate is factored in, bills are still going to go up:

Another communications blunder by McGuinty.
