Unlike investor-owned, privatized corporations, as a crown-owned utility Manitoba Hydro can’t raise capital by issuing shares to investors seeking dividend payments and capital appreciation. Manitoba’s electricity consumers should not be concerned about the magnitude of Manitoba Hydro’s debt. All debt was prudently incurred to build Manitoba Hydro’s exceptionally strong, resilient, sustainable and low-cost generation, transmission and distribution system. There should be no doubt about it — Manitoba Hydro’s debt is good debt. It is that much more painful and poignant, after experiencing the visit through the Holocaust exhibit, to experience the Palestinian exhibit.
