Oh!?! This could pay for Stage 2 of the LRT!!!
Though I am 100% sure that Kitchener would never give up their hydro, and I doubt its residents would ever want to give it up either.
Almost seems to be a certain amount of ignorance with the idea of buy the utilities, like, how much does London think they'd have to pay?
Though, I suppose it might become a popular idea if "If we sell the utilities to the City of London, for $x billion dollar, it will pay for the LRT plus this, this and that.
That being said, users in both Cambridge and Kitchener pay less than users in London. Something to keep in mind for those residents, your bills would go up.
Of course, I really don't see this as ever happening, so really a moot point, IMHO.
