Niagara Falls power: public policy and private profit
In the Niagara Falls water power debate the Niagara Falls franchise evolved from a $25,000 annual rental to a sliding scale tied to power output. The Ontario government used $205,000 from royalties to create Queen Victoria Niagara Falls Park, while fostering competition and cheaper future power, with Welland River development looming. Premier Ross clashed with Whitney over promises during byelections, amid a broader critique of political rhetoric versus power behind it.
