When a reporter asked if there might be a national purchasing policy to bring back Alberta gas, Wynne basically said she won’t interfere with the market. Ontario will spend $230 million to get natural gas to rural communities that currently lack infrastructure, the Liberals announced this week. After that date, no new home in Ontario would be allowed to have natural gas heating. That genteel convention collapsed Thursday, when Wildrose gave Ontario Liberal Premier Kathleen Wynne a greeting that wasn’t just frigid, but openly hostile. For starters, she says natural gas “is not being banned.”Following the leak of an Ontario cabinet document on May 12, the province appeared to be heading for a complete shutdown of natural gas by 2030.
