Hey. WTFF?? I just found out they CAN'T disconnect your electricity, they are banned from doing so by law.
"Licensed electricity utilities are banned from disconnecting residential customers for non-payment during the winter every year, from November 15 to April 30. Homes that are already disconnected when the ban goes into effect must be reconnected without charge."
Your electricity supply can’t be disconnected for non-payment during the winter months, from November 15 to April 30.
If you live in a condo or apartment that has its own individual meter and your bill comes from a company other than the local utility, you are a customer of a unit sub-meter provider. Most of our customer service rules for utilities also apply to unit sub-meter providers. Any differences are noted below.

No, it's not that hard at all. It's easy. You just call the Ontario Energy Board between Monday - Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 @ 1-877-632-2727 (416-314-2455 within Greater Toronto Area) or have a webchat with them @ https://p-micoccm01.ontarioenergyboard.ca/ccmwa/chat/6411231f-f348-4a0c-881d-3a044979ac2f or e-mail them @ ConsumerRelations@oeb.ca or file a complaint @ https://www.oeb.ca/consumer-protection/make-complaint and get the illegal disconnection investigated. That will learn them for next time they try it. Contact the utility first and request immediate reconnection. If they refuse, go to the OEB for relief.
Your case worker will give you free bus tickets or subway passes to get around as well. No problem. You just have to call in and ask for them and then pick them up at the desk.

Go to this place. They have emergency services available. Tell them you need it ASAP because they are demanding it at OntarioWorks. They will have to issue you one within 5 business days. Contact your worker and tell him/her ServiceOntario is asking for proof of need and get a letter, and ask him/her to pay the $65 fee for print and courier. Tell OntarioWorks you need it right away to find work and can't wait 6-8 weeks. You have to use the available support systems, bud. That's what they are there for.
ServiceOntario 47 Sheppard Avenue East, unit 417, 4th Floor Toronto, ON M2N 5N1
Emergency service (in-person at 47 Sheppard Avenue East, Toronto) : 5 business days including delivery by courier Note: proof of urgency is required
Also, after working a single day, you are entitled to a $250 work allowance, to buy boots, gloves, hardhat, vest, etc, and you don't need to show receipts.

You have to be wayyyyyy behind for our electric company to shut off the power. Even then, there are programs to help people with medical needs or during inclement weather. Look for those programs there Scron.
He can apply for a one time payout of $600 for the year to get reconnected under the Low Income Energy Assistance Program (LEAP), and also get a monthly credit of about $68 on his bill every month through the Ontario Energy Board and the Ontario Electricity Support Program (OESP).

I like the way the immoral media goons try to progressively inflame and pacify the emotions of the caller to sell clicks. Totally despicable and pathetic cretins.

They are so brainwashed by CNN they don't realize half the country are Republicans, and that includes millions of millennials (Gen Y), Gen X-ers, and even the new Gen-Zs breed.

He isn't the richest bag of shit in the world (who pays no taxes and even gets multimillion-dollar tax refunds from the taxpayer) for helping little old ladies cross the street.

I think there's a good chance Trump may be able to get a third term if he takes it to the SCOTUS on the grounds his first term was restricted and heavily interfered with by mainstream media lies, the false Democrat smear-jobs, and the attempted coup on his office by the Obama administration and private actors.
