We Ontarians are experiencing another hydro rate increase beginning this May. The residential hydro cost has almost DOUBLED IN JUST 6 YEARS. In 2010, one kWh cost 9.3, 8 and 4.4 cents for high, medium and low cost time periods. Now it is 18, 13.2 and 8.7 cents. For 1000 kWh we are now paying $225 , in comparison with BC at $84 and Quebec at $67.

Why change the name at all?

Our MP Larry Miller recently posted a "Lesson in Irony" in which a comparison is made between distributing food to 46 million Americans in the United States while at the same time discouraging citizens from feeding animals in their national parks for fear that the animals would become dependent on humans feeding them. The post connects these statements by saying that there is something to learn here but it doesn't say what. MP Miller comments that
The only reasoning given to many of us for the closure of OSCVI as a high school is one small chart showing the operating profit next year and the percentage utilization rate. We are then told it is what the community wants. And all in the name of better programming, because that's all that matters. I don't believe either of these arguments holds merit for the ...
