BC Hydro is a crown corporation with a mandate to generate electricity at low cost
As they have been for over 50 years. We have had historically low prices.

Exactly. So why are you advocating we suddenly do away with our low rates?

So we're raising rates, but where does the notion that we must raise them to levels paid elsewhere come from?

A hell of a stretch? Suggesting that low prices drive increased demand? That's well before Economics 101, that's elementary school economics. It's no stretch, it's an iron-fast rule of real-world economics that even the most dim gradeschool child should be able to grasp.
A few posts back, someone mentioned how UAE had a fairly high human development index. Guess who has #1. Norway, and they also have the second-highest gas price at the pumps in the world.

Because the current rates are too low to even deal with necessary upgrades etc. Funny, often happens when the government runs something, rather than private enterprises (ie. Alberta oil).
Norway? #1 best country in the world.

AMAZING how all the talk about smart meters went to zero once the extra charge was implemented in order to save the holdouts the ill health effects.

Cost just went down slightly for holdouts.

I can't believe people are willing to pay an extra $40 on their bill just so they can have their neighbour's meter blasting them with radiation instead of their own.
