Nova Scotia Power

NSP ruined Xmas for a lot of people. I wish they’d get their fucking shit together. I doubt you’ll see any reduction in your bill to compensate for the interruption in your service either, they remind you that they control the power, but then throw their hands up in the air when a horrific “act of God” (say, five cm of snow) knocks power out for two days. All 20 of their trucks were probably in another province or maybe still in the US helping out with the ice storm. I’m so tired of the goddamned monopoly, they could at least change their name if they don’t actually serve Nova Scotians first. Call it “Central Lubeless”, they always seem to be in the middle of any other area’s power failure crisis, and they keep dry-fucking people here up the ass. Really, every time this happens the people of Nova Scotia AND NSP all say “this shouldn’t have happened”. We’re the customers. We keep paying more and more, but their service never improves – in fact, it seems to get worse, and we’re constantly being forced to give the higher-ups at NSP raises just so that we can live in warmth. The only thing I can see that would make a difference is a mass boycott, imagine it: 100,000 people don’t pay their bill. NSP shuts the power off on them, and more people would follow suit, it’d be a crazy-awesome standoff. We’d all smell pretty bad after day seventeen, but they’d cave – oh, they’d cave.
