Utility Rates Skyrocketing!!

I am sure the majority of Canadian's annual family income is less than this guys electrical bill.  Canadians are being hit hard by recent, exponential increases in utility rates.  I read an interesting article this evening that makes you wonder how many are going to cope with these rising costs.

Gas prices exceeding $6/gal in most parts of Canada, over valued real-estate, unaffordable rental rates, rising food costs...are bankrupting or causing many North Americans severe hardship.  We had first hand experience with Geothermal and in my opinion, it is a total sham!  We were promised geothermal would cut our utility rates by 30-50% when in fact it did the exact opposite!! 

I have no idea where were headed but it doesn't look promising for most of us.

Yea really nice, we are suppose to save on our heating with geo and now our bill increases by 40%, some of the neighbors increased 50-60%. When fortis has the monopoly I guess that is what happens, I cannot wait to get out of this place.

I'm totally feeling the pain of geothermal as it's related to electrical costs. It cleans the environment as well as your wallet...!

    I have always been a straight shooter and a go getter.  Many have said Leslie must be a saint to have put up with me for over 40 years.  We have been business partners since the day we got married and each played an intrigal roll in our business success.  There is nothing more important to us than our Family & Friends.  Our love of people and travel has allowed us to develop amazing friendships around the world.
