I Used to Think I was As Smart as the Average Guy

That was until I tried to figure out the electricity scam. After a few hours going in circles, as far as I can see there is no real way to figure it out.

Moreover, I can not see the point in having so many "retailers' selling a product that is a utility and should be simple to understand. All those extra companies and people and plans must simply add cost and zero value to a basic product produced and delivered by the same few basic utility companies as far as I can see. If I change plans, they won't be running in a new power line or switching my connection to another generating facility. It will be coming down the same transmission lines from the same energy pool.

Water and sewer are simple. Why isn't this?

Whose brainchild is this boondoggle anyhow and why do we put up with this?

Having gotten that off my chest, has anyone here actually figured it out?

Poilievre Facing 58 Opponents So Far in Alberta Byelection Targeted by Long Ballot Protest

I am watching and listening to the Town Hall in Red Deer on X and covering a lot of good questions and panelists. Over 10,000 watching.
I wish the media would honestly cover it but it will be slammed on talk shows and newspapers.

Anyone can post here

I noticed that our membership is growing so people must be mentioning this group around. Welcome.

We have a few regular posters, but anyone can post, so if you come across something especially worth passing on, please do.

For those who may be new or who have been here for a while and never posted our group enjoys articles and other posts that provide a unique perspective and challenge the common narratives, fill in blanks, or simply entertain.

Readers 'like' some articles more than others, but 'liking' to me is more a sign that we found the article useful than that we agree with it. I often 'like' articles that i thought to be are quirky, off-base, or just plain wrong, but worth reading.
