Default Enbridge price increase... not 40%

Just got my bill... I thought they were increasing the price 40% to address "market supply" conditions.

So my gas supply rate was $0.0117412/ m3, it is now $0.0208959/m3. Last time I looked, that was 78% increase. Anyone know what the deal with this is?

Perhaps the Canadian section should have its own OT section but until we do its always advisable if you begin a non-Porsche threat with the OT (off topic) in the title as some come here only for Porsche related stuff. Just saying.

As far as Enbridge: I have no idea what they are up to. Between Government interference in Hydro rates and free enterprise (but Government regulated) gas companies - we're just about held hostage every where we look.

That wasn't called for. It was a suggestion. The use of the term '****' in this manner for a post on this forum shows me what type of man you are.

Ya it's just price gouging. To bad us Canadians just bend over and take it. They claim it's because of the cold winter.

Ignore the usual Rennlist banter, too many people with keyboard ***** and trust me it's way worse over on the 928 forum. Thos guys jump on everything like a pack of wild hungry dogs.

We should have a Canadian P&C sub forum just for bashing A; Americans, B; Russians, C; Anything Canajun and anyone else I left out, including Vancouverites and Newfies.

As a former employee of Enbridge they don;t make money on the sale of gas just the delivery (hence the two charges on your bill).
The gas is pre-purchased and stored in places throughout Ontario.
This past winter depleted their reserve and the replacement per cubic metre has increased.
The same thing happened to propane this past winter. Prices skyrocketed because most of the propane was being shipped to the States.
I think Union raised their rates as well.

You forgot to mention government regulated auto insurance companies!

I was thinking of putting in a ng generator for the house, now I am thinking I should do a diesel instead. ng prices are getting to high and with no protection from Gov't which even allow these ridiculous price hikes on a whim.
