Years before becoming the prime minister’s key strategist, Butts held a similar position in the office of former Ontario premier Dalton McGuinty. In this role, he launched the province on course for a vast suite of controversial environmental policies, culminating in the notorious Green Energy Act. He has bragged of these accomplishments.
The Green Energy Act also included a promise to create 50,000 green jobs. But while the dream of turning Ontario into a global wind-turbine manufacturing powerhouse quickly turned to dust, numerous other manufacturers were forced to flee the province or slash jobs due to punishing electricity costs. This comes as no surprise.
In response to frequent claims he was the architect of the province’s green energy disaster, Butts tweeted in September: “For the record, again, this is untrue. The Green Energy Act was done after I left the Premier’s Office for WWF in the spring of 2018.”It’s true Butts left McGuinty’s office at the end of June 2008, while the Green Energy Act was introduced in early 2009.
A whole lot of nothing.
