Mr Bartolucci sounded very annoyed in that interview. A little bit rude if you asked me. He seemed to take the fact that he was not first informed of the plan very personally. I can not blame the ONTC for not approaching the Liberals first as they are the ones scrapping the line as "expidiciously" as possible.
It's a better call by the union to go out to the press first and create some awareness before sharing the plan with the Liberals. They haven't had a good track record of doing what is right but instead what helps them politically. Given the cost of closing those power plants, this story should get a lot more play.
I hope the feds step in to be the heroes here.
