I am GRUMPY. Scheduled power outage today - still not back, likely won’t be until tomorrow. Everything in my freezer is melting. I have to go stay with a friend because I have to work & no power = no WIFI. @bchydro NOT IMPRESSED with you!!! You replacing my ice cream & oat milk?

But the problem, again here in BC, by putting all your NDP eggs in the electrical BC Hydro Basket, is that it creates an imbalance internationally. An example is Nestle Inc in California, now privatizing a very vulnerable irrigation problem down the West Coast of North America.💧

Despite promises to hold an inquiry into the BC Rail scandal, BC NDP quickly forgot. Similarly, they've forgotten promises to fix BC Hydro and they continued purchases of private power worth billions while the utility spills water from its own dams without generating electricity.
