Hydro1 is on the hook for $138 million to pay the other power company. Ontarians are going to pay for that.
DoFo cost Ontario a lot of money.

https://www.reddit.com/r/canada/comments/a3pjbx/doug_ford_gets_rid_of_the_6million_man_and_costs/Right now, the deal is dead and Hydro One is on the hook for a US$103-million termination fee owed to Avista. In addition, Hydro One will have to eat at least $49-million in commissions to investment banks that lined up $1.4-billion in financing for a takeover that’s not going to happen. And the utility must pay millions in legal bills. It all adds up to a significant financial setback for Hydro One, which posted a $227-million profit in the most recent quarter.
Of course I would LOVE to blame Douggie for this one but I have to be true to my objectivity and frankly I find it a little suspicious that they would terminate this deal based on him firing the CEO. But the bill comes to over $185 M ($103M US ~ $138M CDN plus $49M CN).
I would put that on a par with Wynne.
