I have just read the article about Horizons shortfall in the St. Catharines paper and I am disgusted. Once again another major company didn’t plan for the future and wants its consumers to bail them out. If this were any number of the smaller business that went bankrupt or fell on hard times during this recession - no one would help. So why should we help them. We as consumers are also dealing with the recession and we don’t have the money to "help" horizons. Maybe Horizons should have expected a drop in consumer usage as the world is going greener. What happens in a few years when usage is still going down….what will we need to pay then. How about the precedent this will set for all companies who experienced a loss in these hard times. Horizon needs to be accountable for how they spend their money and forecast for the future….we are all having hard times….take out a loan or restructure like everyone else has - what makes you think you can ask us to bail you out.
