What I’m saying is that attempting to privatize the electricity market by deregulation substantially increased costs to the average albertan. Not just Calgarians or edmontonians, and it should have never happened.
It was never the point of deregulation. The government at the time tried to sell it as a way to increase competition and lower prices; neither of which happened. It was and still is a failure.
