I don't get it either. Not much we can do about electricity costs other than blame the provincial government (our local utility has decreased their transmission charges several times in the past few years).

As for water/sewage rates, Hamilton does have a substantial rate for these services, mainly because they need to build that expensive wastewater treatment facility.

Lastly, taxes, I assume they mean municipal, but they might mean provincial as well. I'm not certain how the Quebec and Ontario manufacturing incentives compare. As for Hamilton I can't recall hearing that our industrial tax rate is substantially higher than anywhere else. Our residential tax rate is high of course.

Maybe we should have offered them a tax holiday?
