Letter writer Sue McLean is right on the money with her comments on Hydro Ottawa’s proposed off-peak hours for smart meters (Not so smart savings, Ottawa Citizen, Letters to the Editor, April 20, 2010). An off-peak period, starting at the late hour of 9:00 pm, certainly won’t leave working people much time to do their laundry at economical rates.
Where do these overpaid executives get their ideas from? They certainly don’t seem to live in the same world as their customers!
About Me
- Colin Hine
- I’m a recently retired management consultant. For much of my career I worked in the aerospace industry for firms in Canada, the U.S. and the U.K. I’ve always been interested in politics, but it’s only since retiring that I have become active in this area. Over the past four years I have become disillusioned by what I have seen both on the local municipal scene in the City of Ottawa as well as at senior levels of government. I am now convinced that corporate influences (financial and others) are increasingly diluting the democratic processes of government. Government representatives no longer pay attention to the views and concerns of the general public and we are increasingly bombarded with propaganda and diverted by red herrings. chmorland706@gmail.com
