Guess whoâll pay for this? Wonât be coming out of the Exec Bonuses, thatâs for sure. Theyâll just raise their already extortionate rates again, like they do for all âunexpected expenseâ.
God forbid, they take any accountability for their failures.

Is anyone else in Nova Scotia on a smart meter suddenly receiving huge power bills?
EDIT: I've enquired among my neighbours and no one else seems to have issues.
I think it's probably a combination of a new heat pump and burning less wood.
No need to boost.
Be Proud of your Monopoly! #NSPower
They broke a record. #NovaScotia Power had one day it didn't have an unplanned power outage.
4,700 outages, recording just a single day without an unplanned outage.
A CBC investigation found that there was an unplanned electricity service interruption in Nova Scotia :flagns: on 365 days in 2024.

For those who live in NS there are parallels to #NSPower and what needs to be done about shoddy service. Like why do we allow executive goons of this monopoly to collect bonuses?
"It is clear, the people of this province are being held hostage"

#GoodMorning #Bonjour It's messy out..
If you're old enough to remember? Lucas Electrics still make Alternators, Batteries, Electrics today.
Their brand was on a furnace Lucas Ignitor once
Nice try #NSPower, you took power from all those #Halisky people, and missed me by âș[ ]â this much
It's HOWLING!
#NSPower said they had to interrupt power temporarily to repair service to NB. Why didn't they post this on their website win the outage page?
Overlapping power outages in North End Halifax. #NSpower doesn't know why. This is Saturday and there is no storm so maybe it's their fault.
Listen, I'm not bright, I can admit this. But, if NS Power is carrying a bunch of debt, that it can't sustain. They then go and beg both the provincial and federal governments to give them money. Why can't we clear the debt but make them a public utility? #ELI5 #NSPower #NovaScotia #Halifax
Maybe NS Power should not belong to a private company. What could prices be if they didnât have to pay shareholders a big cut of energy revenues?

CAN YOU SKIP DOUBLE DUTCH?
