Easymax is having both electricity and gas billed to you by Enmax. The main reason to do it is for the convenience of having one bill. Enmax then gives you $100/yr off your utilities for the streamlined administration.
Once signed up for easymax, you can then choose to get a fixed rate on your utilities (I'm at 8 cents/kilowatt for fixed rate Elec.) or be on floating rate ($3.88 /GJ Nov1-3 & $4.19/GJ Oct 3-31 floating for Gas).
I was signed up for a while at $8.95 GJ, but noticed gas wasn't going up, so I was able to drop out of the 5 year fixed-price contract with them, and am now paying about half of that, just in time for winter.
Personally, I like the stability of the fixed electricity, but gas usage will swing a lot through the year.
As for Albertgq, I think he was being serious.
