Infrastructure is infrastructure...

Sorry to disagree with the norm here, but our Crown Corporation (or Private business in disguise) that has a Monopoly and sets rates without fair and free competition should be held at the very least, accountable.

Business Interruption Insurance and other such items exist for such a reason...but seriously...

This outtage is supposedly caused by a fire by some dodgy wiring, at least that is what I am told...

And if you are paying BC Hydro for a service and you have NO option to buy your utility elsewhere, I believe there should be some restitution.
