That has to be the worst part of it, it's been drilled into us that we waste hydro, that the winter before last we used way too much when we should've kept the thermostat at 16 and that was why our hydro went up in spring 2015.
Well the CEO does need the bonus on his $4 million annual salary. >.>

I feel you! I'm getting so frustrated with this province. They are making it IMPOSSIBLE to be a young family. Housing costs are absolutely INSANE, hydro costs are flipping mental, the cost of groceries went up recently because our dollar sucks, our minimum wage is an absolute joke, the government keeps saying they will create jobs, but none are actually decent jobs that someone can support a family on... It's discouraging. My husband makes good money as an electrician, I'm a recent stay at home mom. We are frugal as hell and live a modest life. Our house is a small semi, our kids will share rooms, and we drive an old beater car. And I save every penny possible to afford food. I had to quit my job after my second son because daycare is so effing expensive it's a wash for me to return (thanks to the new legislature passed by our lovely government limiting spots...) I had a career.... And don't get me wrong I'm grateful we can "afford" me to stay home... But it'd be nice to have some breathing room from our greedy ass government. My political rant for the day.
What's the government going to do when everyone in Ontario picks up and leaves because we can't afford to hear our houses in the winter AND feed our families? Lol asshats

You don't have tiered pricing either, Natalka! In most parts of Ontario, residential customers are either on Time of Use or tiered rates. You have a flat rate!
@Shwa Girl - as long as your library is not part of the Toronto Library system, where a no-board report was received by support staff. Could be a May 1 strike unless both sides reach an agreement.2021-Bring on the sunshine, sweets & online shopping.

That was the reason the last owner of Stoney Creek Dairy shut down the business. He said electricity was 7. - cents /kwh in QC and it was double in ON.
I'm sure that all those churches that participated in the solar panel/MICROFIT program are worrying about rate changes for their electricity sent back to the grid. Ontario may consider revising the high MICROFIT payments for much less.2021-Bring on the sunshine, sweets & online shopping.

4 million dollar salary??
That's disgusting.
I think Premier Kathleen Wynne's salary is $208974+. And she runs a whole province, not just one company.
And specialist doctors (e.g. surgeons) make up to $200,000+. And they save lives on top. And they have to have lots of malpractice insurance, in case they make mistakes.

Does your library's computer towers still have DVD drives? Hamilton's computers have not had DVD drives in over a year. So Youtube is where it's at for me while online (music/ TV clips-have yet to do a big drama viewing as there is one series I want to get through if it's still available).

It's absolutely sickening, we are not on TOU but tiered system and I pay $95 a month on average for delivery fees + my measly usage of $90, it sickens me because of al the increases along the way housing, groceries etc HYDRO IS the most expensive overall.
