I am in SW Ontario and my hydro bill is well over 400.00 a month, that is turning the air on only during non peak hours, only doing laundry on non peak hours, same with dishwasher. I have one 55 inch LED tv that is rarely on. I have a friend who is a janitor and lives in a one bedroom apartment who runs no air, a ceiling fan, watches some tv on his weekends off but other than that always makes sure his lights are off and he still pays 160.00 a month in Hydro. It is beyond ridiculous and I can see how very low income families are having to choose between hydro and food.
