Incidentally, I don't live in "a tiny rental in downtown Toronto".

Wrong.

Again.

I live in a detached home out in the 905 and have a cottage out in the middle of nowhere.

As I said in my post (did you actually read it?), my electricity bill at my cottage is 80% delivery charge.

I accept that as a cost of being situated where I chose to be situated - a long way from anywhere.

I'm not asking anyone else to pay my bills.

Suck it up and pay your own way.
