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?

Not just Climate Alarmism and Gender Nonsense anymore.In a nation once defined by hard work, innovation, and shared prosperity, Canada is sleepwalking into fiscal and social ruin under the banner of performative “reconciliation.” We’ve seen the warning signs globally: companies like Bud Light hemorrhaging $1.4 billion in sales after its ill-fated Dylan Mulvaney campaign alienated core customers; Jaguar’s cringeworthy 2024 rebrand pushing electric cars and “inclusivity” that bombed so hard it was scrapped amid plummeting stock; Harley-Davidson retreating from DEI mandates after backlash from riders who just wanted motorcycles, not lectures. These weren’t isolated fumbles, they were self-inflicted wounds from chasing social justice optics at the expense of reality. Now, Canada is the latest casualty, with “woke” poli...
