2) In the UK, the utilities rates have increased much more than inflation and, as a percentage, far greater than salaries. Most likely, the same is true in BC. With unbridled authority to spend on unnecessary programs like smeters and Site C, the government has lined the corporate pockets of their friends with our money. Hopefully, the new government will re-look at these expensive programs that have no end to the expenses and give no benefits. The NDP must be made to see that it is better to cancel a program (have smeters recalled as being defective) than to throw good money after bad for years to come.

Forget austerity, here’s who is to blame for your empty pockets
Research this week by Santander blows the whistle on the ever-growing portion of our monthly pay that goes on largely unavoidable household bills. It looked at bills for gas, electricity, water, TV, phone and so on – and found they have escalated in price far, far ahead of average wage rises. Since 2006, average pay packets in Britain have gone up by 19% in pounds and pence terms (in other words, not adjusting for inflation). Meanwhile, the average gas bill has gone up 73%, electricity 72%, and water 41%.
