Cathy Reitz and her family saw their ENMAX bill go over $1,000 this past month.Calgarians are reporting massive increases to their latest energy bills, and it's forcing some families to make tough decisions.
Reitz's bill was $1,060 for January. That's $460 more than Reitz has ever paid in the same month more than 13 years on her floating rate Enmax plan."We rode that wave for 13 years and it was very manageable, even with increases. This has now become unmanageable. We know the type of house we live in. We live in a 60s bungalow with a 70s extension. We actually have two furnaces because of the build," she said.
He says the writing has been on the wall for awhile, and last fall it became clear that this winter energy market prices would reach record highs. "You can still get on it for the future. It's not the slam dunk it was for the winter, but in my view, it's still a reasonable thing to do," he said. "When things are so level and have been so stable for so long, how do you manage such a stark increase like that? I'm not going to get paid more. Where does that extra money come from? Well, it's going to have to come from us being less engaged in our community."For them that means a tighter grocery budget, no more restaurants and possibly saying goodbye for now to some beloved family activities.

Higher gas prices, because it’s all tax… look at the “carbon charge” where HST is added… tax on tax.. why don’t you say that CBC
Perhaps the biggest problem is an incompetent PM.
So true!
More on the concentration than anything else.
Government cash grabs
Or to a disastrous economic policy.
Would be nice also to bring taxes on par with rest of the country and reduce budget dependency on oil royalties.
I was hoping to read more on why the price is rising. The opening statement kind of implies this. The article is more about sticker shock and rate plans.
And green tax.
This article is a blatant fucking lie. How dare you even publish it. EPCOR and every utility company in Alberta is charging the MAXIMUM that the Alberta Utilities Commission will allow without the need to, and the AUC has raised that every, EVERY single month for 2 years

François Legault says Trudeau's invoking of Emergencies Act 'not necessary' in Quebec | CBC NewsQuebec Premier Francois Legault says he understands why the federal Emergencies Act might be useful in other parts of the country, but he feels applying the measure in Quebec right now would be divisive Too bad, it's necessary to make sure we have no more border blockades. If the provinces would've done their job rather than enabling the protesters we wouldn't be where we are now. Watching over from the UK and can't believe what I'm seeing in Canada. I thought this was a 'liberal' PM Wouldn't look out of place in China this move. No wrong! They both understand their tyrannical orders or no money for poison injection sales!
