ONTARI ARI O OR LIVING IN ONTARIO



Well at least here in Ontario we don't have the public expense of debtors prisons. Oh no, here we simply let our poor people freeze in the dark. Can you imagine shutting off electricity in the dead of winter in Ontario? Apparently that's exactly what various electricity distributors have been doing. Today's Waterloo Region Record carries the following article titled "Liberals eye bill to stop winter hydro shut-offs. Sure there are probably a few bad apples who intentionally pay their bills late. Or even make the conscious decision to buy booze and cigarettes rather than pay their hydro bills. Maybe. However with rising hydro costs, declining real wages and unemployment especially for our young people at high levels; I ask you really how many people are intentionally not paying their hydro bills in winter if they have any other options. No I don't consider not buying food to be a viable option.
