Crazy how a free market capitalist model for electricity isn't targeting these enormous inflexible energy consumers for exorbitant rates.

Have we forgotten how to turn a profit in this country? Gouge! Gouge! Gouge! They've got a few billion worth of hardware in the ground and money to burn. You've got nothing to lose.

Quebec subsidizes its electricity. Which irritates other provinces that pay it equalization payments, since that the subsidization is not included.

We can only subsidize failing EV companies in Canada, cheap electricity we draw the line.
