~~Holy crap, that's crazy. I stand corrected. There's got to be an error with this. Have you called the utility? That's just nuts~~.

Nevermind. This is for two months, and it's CAD. That's completely different than OMG my bill is $700!!

With my job I get other people's hydro bills to split between upper and lower tenants and I see their bills too. While I find this bill exceptionally high, it's not really out of whack. This is just what we pay for electricity here (in BC Canada)

Canada. That's why. I wish OP here had said that originally.

[–] Screwthehole@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh is that why? Why, because we make our power and don't buy it from Canada? 😂

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You make your power now? Is that why you're being charged $350 a month to use it? Interesting.

We - used by a speaker to refer to himself or herself and one or more other people considered together.

Interesting. I wonder if I meant "we" as in Canadians?
