They oughta call them "Sly Meters"

Even when he's not raising your taxes... he's raising your taxes...

Premier Dalton McGuinty acknowledged on Tuesday that he is hearing the same complaints that opposition members are raising: many people who throw in a load of laundry late at night when electricity prices are lower are getting hit with higher hydro bills.

Mr. McGuinty did not say how his government plans to change the program.
Thanks again to reader Rich...
"It cost us each a bundle to get the meters -- which don't work."
Just like the McSlippery regime.

Pt5) HST on the whole damn thing.....we pay!

Look...I know I'm on a treadwheel but does it have to be constructed of red hot razorblades with overseers who are laughing demonic entities?

rich... don't forget the olg fiasco or how the liberals have been "fixing" our wonderful healthcare system...

"Ontario's Liberal government has paid out almost $1 billion to private companies to cover new hospital construction overruns, a coalition of community health organizations said Friday."

You are right on.
I was just commenting on one well defined scam.
There are just so many.
"We Pay"....should have been
"WEEP - PAY".

According to data released Tuesday, 68 per cent of 10,000 tracked Toronto Hydro customers had higher bills in the first year of the new program.

Hydro rates have soared this year, beginning with an eight-per-cent increase May 1 followed by an eight per cent jump in tax rates July 1 with the imposition of the HST.

Roughly 4.5 million meters (which cost an estimated $160 each) will be installed in homes and small businesses by the end of this year, according to officials.
