David, in regards to your comments on the Ontario Hydro Failure, I
would just like to mention that my Hydro was out last Saturday from
7:30pm to 4:00am.  This is rather annoying especially when it is -30
degrees outside.

I think that we have a crisis on hand and the government better wake
up and smell the roses.  Insurance premiums are sky rocketing, and I
strongly feel that it is claims which have been made during power
outages.  If you live in the country and you do not have a good system
of power deflection hooked up with the deficits and increases in power
you are very likely to damage household equipment.

As well as this, how can anyone possibly be expected to complete their
work during this time?  Just last week during that storm, part of
downtown Toronto, incurred a blackout.

I think that in Canada we have lots of resources, and that the average
person is doing their best to preserve the environment, especially
with the introduction of recycling, but I wonder when the government
is going to get on the band wagon.  I think that Hydro should be
taking some of the huge amount of money they possess and do some
research and inquiries to see what is really going on.  This is a
multi-million dollar company that surely charges the average consumer
enough money!

My real concern stems from the fact that we sell our resources to
other countries, and then proceed to buy them back in a hope of
keeping trade with that company.  Is this not blowing and puffing at
the same time?
