so, remember when i was freaking out about the electrical, and how they changed the formula to undo the rebate?

i've mostly avoided the issue by not doing laundry, which has let me kind of balance the usage out to roughly zero. it's been a dollar or two one way or the other.

well, i got a letter in the mail letting me know that this actually wasn't a nefarious ploy but an "honest mistake" (this is the doug ford government and, for all his phony populist rhetoric, the tories are not known for caring much about poor people - it's actually not hard to believe that it never crossed their mind), and they've:

1) fixed the formula to apply the discount before the rebate

2) will recalculate the last several months worth of usage and send me a lump sump credit

given that my electrical has legitimately gone way down, this could be almost enough to wipe out the balance. and, if i understand the change correctly, i should actually now have much more space to consume without it hitting the limit.

which would be great.

as i want to start using some of this gear soon....

now, if i could get a similar letter from the cra about the carbon tax...
