I was wondering about this too when I first started reading this thread. I thought there was a privacy act in play that protected customer's consumption use. And hydro would report to the rcmp if they noticed more power being consumed than metered (meter bypass).

Interesting. From what I have heard they now do report spikes in usage though. That was on the news though, so maybe not true.

The guy made a derogatory generalization about all cops being.....you get the drift! And I mentioned that Canreef members may also be cops. I have a problem with someone insulting Canreef members based on their chosen profession, and yes I do support law enforcement. They are no worse than any other professionals. I have met doctors that would make better executioners.

It's akin to me saying all guys with saltwater tanks and long hair beat their wives....totally unfounded!
BTW, I found the original post humorous!
