Oh good, the provincial budget got rammed through this morning and it's just been announced that electricity rates are going up.

Guess I'll resume my research on how to live in a van when you're not a perfectly pretty Instagram influencer.

@StaceyCornelius I wish there was a way to use solar panels as someone living in a condo. My balcony gets no sunlight
@giflian I have lots of sun but no cash. Balcony panels look like they're affordable (aroun 200W), but we can't get them here yet.

@StaceyCornelius oh yeah I wasn't suggesting it as something for you to do, just a general comment about how one is beholden to hydro companies.

I mean, fuuuuuck.

@giflian Totally, I was just typing out loud. I saw a story on the CBC website and wished I could go that route. I could probably raise a few hundred if it meant taking even one step away from our for-profit monopoly.
