For what it's worth, we used 1.02 GJ of natural gas on our latest gas bill (we still have a gas range and a gas fired instant hot water heater).

EPCOR charged an additional $11.17 administration fee plus $1.75 in rate riders, a $10.57 franchise fee for the city, $1.06 in variable delivery charges and $28.80 in fixed delivery charges plus $2.11 in GST.

The total bill came to $56.91.

To save me the trouble, EPCOR breaks that down for me as 21% for Direct Energy charges, 56% for Distributor charges and 23% for Taxes and Government charges.

Seems like political podcasts are becoming the new source of "news"... a kind of "good" if they support my entrenched views, "bad" if they don't. It certainly is an interesting phenomenon but I can't see it being an across-the-board positive unless one is brave enough to listen to both sides.

She planned to break her leg while skiing? That's like me saying I played shinny hockey and took a puck off the leg and broke my leg.
Yeah, I took the risk but I didn't plan to break my leg while playing.

Not planned, but took the “inherent” risk of skiing. So for all of us that haven’t self inflicted injuries upon ourselves, we’re supposed to take a backseat to those that do? Explain how much more important these people are compared to us….

That’s a crock…

What about someone injured in a car accident who could have taken a bus? Someone injured while walking to the bus who could have stayed home? Someone who developed gestational diabetes who could have chosen to stay childless? Someone with work related COPD who could have stayed unemployed? Someone with carpal tunnel syndrome who could have posted less?
