On the one hand the New Democrats want to remove HST from home heating fuel, including electricity.
But on the other hand they want to see Muskrat Falls go ahead. That project would hammer people on fixed and low incomes in Newfoundland and Labrador by doubling their electricity prices.
At the same time, the federal New Democrats want to help Nova Scotia build a line to Newfoundland so they can import power from Muskrat Falls pretty much for free.
Of course, the NDP aren’t alone. The federal Liberals and Conservatives also want to double electricity prices in Newfoundland and Labrador by supporting the Muskrat Falls megaproject scheme.
