YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Many people, including myself, are in very real danger of losing their homes (in my case my farm of 30 years) in the coming year.

In the early 1980's, I worked at Bell Canada, which had the world by the tail in that it was a monopoly. It's staggering now. Perhaps when the public are choosing cell and home phone services, they remember those regular increases. Personally, I do not and will not subscribe to Bell for those very reasons.

Hydro One is another monopoly that can raise rates as they so choose. They need to take a lesson from the Big Three and trim from the top. I live adjacent to rural hydro towers and notice that every year the Hydro workers servicing those towers drive around on top of the line, brand new 4-wheelers that most of us would kill for. Just one example of wasteful spending.

Trim from the top! Trim from the top!
