Budget promises a made-in-Ontario pension plan that will bring in a payroll tax of almost $ 1,000 a year for corporations that will hurt.This province will almost certainly see a credit downgrade within days of a Liberal Budget passing.

BINGHAM CHUTE Bingham Chute Generating Station was the next hydro-electric power plant built on the South River. Ontario Hydro began its construction in 1923, and by March of 1924, added 800 kilowatts of electricity to the system.Situated at the west end of Powassan, the entire development consists of a control dam, a water intake with headworks, 350 ft. of woodstave penstock - eight ft. in diameter, a powerhouse containing the two generators, 50 acres of land, and 150 acres of flooded area, all owned by Hydro. The generators housed at Bingham Chute came from the Nipissing plant, which had been outfitted with higher capacity generators in 1923.
