The were screwing people wrongly charging for fees they shouldn't have been charging for, lose a lawsuit and NOW want to charge the same people extra for their mistake.

WE NEED TO GET RID OF THIS PROVINCIAL JOKE OF A GOVERNMENT NOW!!!

October 6th... but I'm not entirely convinced it will make a bit of difference what-so-ever... :

What this country needs is a rebellion kinda like whats going on in the mid east these days. Politicians (regardless of political affiliation) just do whatever the fuk they want as soon as they are elected.

TEA PARTY!!!!!

But we are so used to the gov't giving it to us up the ass that no one will really complain.

We really need to be a bit more like Alberta : http://wildrosealliance.ca/

ummm am I missing something? Ok, so the utility company does something that is deemed illegal.

So they are found guilty and must pay the $$ to a "charity". Then they get to re-coup this money another way?

Sorry, this is like robbing a variety store, getting caught, having to pay back what you stole, but then being allowed to legally take that amount from other variety stores....

That's bullshit.

Ya, from my understanding that's pretty much it.... Except for this part:

NOW BEND THE FUCK OVER!

:grrrrrr::grrrrrr::grrrrrr::grrrrrr::grrrrrr:

You see, the party of the first part , who has collected illegally from the party of the second part can ask to be repaid by the party of the third part.....

Fucking lawyers....

I need to come up with a business plan where in all my profits and operating expenses are actually financed by people who pay me late, or not at all.Its sort of like that episode of South Park with the underpants gnomes.
Collect Underpants!!.....?..... Profit!!!!

Just a head's up:

I wrote Tony Clement the MPP for my area about this....

Maybe if everyone did one of them would step up and put a halt to this madness......I mean, I thought monopolies were illegal in Canada? It's not like we can go somewhere else and get our power from.....

This reminds me of the guy in Eastern Ontario who put up a windmill on his property. Ontario Hydro started charing HIM for the power HE generated with the argument that they had exclusive rights to all power generated in Ontario.

Well a judge overrulled them and forced them to instigate a policy that anyone generating power and putting it into the grid has to be paid by Ontario Hydro for that power they are generating... At least ONE person has some fricken common sense.....
