I guess there is a reason why I left Ontario and am now paying far less in the Bahamas. No need for heat.

OK, I am a little bit guilty of poor communication.
My estimated price was -$5.76/MWh (<6/10ths of a cent), and the IESO's provided a figure of $-6.12/MWh.
So the estimate was fine, but I should have put the units after the price.

With a large thank you for putting this up on you site,
Scott

Figures for the market summary section is $$ per Mwh. I think Scott has this right. We’ve had million dollar weekends before.

A wee problem with your figures. The price quoted (5.76 estimated) is CENTS per kilowatt hour, so the actual price is $57.60 per Megawatt hour. So Ontario paid TEN TIMES MORE to get rid of the free, green (blah, blah, blah) energy that your figure.
