Ontario’s Hydro One is getting raked over the coals for spending $15 million to redesign that piece of paper that arrives in the mail each month telling you how much you owe.
And no, that price tag isn’t about replacing an entire I.T. system, just the bill.
Even in the framework of irresponsible public sector utilities spending, how’s it even possible to spend so much on so little?
NDP Energy critic Peter Tabuns was right to ask how this could possibly be justified when, “Families are struggling to keep up with the 300 percent increase they have seen to hydro rates under the Liberal government.”
Apparently, this happened because Hydro One customers had trouble understanding their bills.
But I still don’t get how such a billing re-do could possibly cost $15 million.
This would never happen in the private sector, while both the Government of Ontario and the LCBO have foisted wasteful logo redesigns on taxpayers.
But, they’re mere pikers compared to Hydro One.
It’s interesting to watch this Horgan/Weaver coalition Government. Horgan (NDP) is dumb as a stump and just loves all the attention being Premier. Weaver (Green) is smart but if he, or the Green’s ever became government all we would be doing is setting in Stanley Park, burning incense while humming.
Watching the B.C. LCB and there Gestapo seizure of Scotch Whiskey from restaurant’s because they purchased the Scotch from a private vender not from the government LCB. All taxes where paid no law broken. This is a compliance issue (WHY???) that was no problem for years until the NDP/Green coalition Government.
Nihilism in Gen Z/Millennials and the far right
No where good that’s for sure.
If the conservatives were smart they would pay attention to the next generation of voters. There is always some overlap, but generally the 16-20 year old’s. Some studies suggest they will have a tendency to be more conservative. Not the traditional conservatives us boomers remember exactly, but close. They appear to have more libertarian values, live and let live, less government interference and a move towards concrete values rejecting post modernism.
The conservative party needs to realize that their attempt to ‘modernise’ so far has only made them more despised than ever. They are way, way off base. Turning ‘liberal lite’ is not the same as libertarian. People are studying the next voter base and if this shift in our youth is big enough it will be a huge counter to the foreign demographic now being ushered in for votes.
Who really knows, it;s a crap shoot. Some say Gen. Z will be a turning point back to some sanity. I pray there is some truth to that.
When i first read this new bill ,i kind of found it insulting , all i could see was it sort of was treating their customers like they were stupid and could not understand a simple bill, so they dumbed it down to where you feel your reading something made up for a grade one pupil to understand .
I actually laughed when i first got mine and saw how it was redesigned so dumbed down

She needs a jail cell too. I want my money back!!!!!!!
Old Liberal Party members keeping supporting a party that in no way stands for their own ideals but the old “I’ve voted Liberal” all my life keeps them from rejecting Wynne. Abject stupidity .
The rest went to “consulting fees” for liberals and their friends.
Their is only one direction for Islam to take and that is, AWAY.

So much said with so few words. Stay strong Katie.
I do not know who thought it would be a good idea to elect two man hating post menopausal, communists into government positions. Oh yeah, it was people from Ontario and the Albertan idiots fed up with Redford types who forgot what the NDP really stands for. Not decent people. It makes me cry to think of how Ontario was when I was a kid, and Alberta was when Ralph was in charge and how far from that kind of prosperity and sanity those two provinces are now.

But the taxpayer money spent! It’s unbelievable.
If you already are the world’s most indebted sub-sovereign borrower, I guess you can get away with stealing – everything…

$15million of waste at hydro one that’s peanuts, go big or stay home.
We know a guy that can delete all your records cheap but you have to get him real soon before he goes to prison…sorry.

Good choice, Liza. I just wish a whole lot of them would move back. Then Alberta would have a chance with them all gone. Your statement reminds me of yet another song:
