Speak Up

Dear Santa,

All I want for Christmas is my NB Power rebate.

Now with the price of oil down 50 per cent and the overflowing dams spinning money, I have visions of dollar signs dancing in my head. Surely we do not have to have a rate-decrease meeting to lower the cost of electricity. That would only lead to awkward questions. I'll be understanding. I'll take the money with no questions asked!

Why Santa, I must have a hundred things to spend that money on, my winter wood bill, extra insulation for the attic, new energy-efficient appliances, a solar panel so that I am no longer an energy hostage and maybe I can even splurge on a New Brunswick Christmas turkey instead of a fake orange, Maine one.

Now Santa, I know that old capitalist Scrooge McGuire over at NB Power is a tough nut to crack, but the owners, the Government of New Brunswick, and by extension, the people of New Brunswick, want their money back. Ho!Ho!Ho!

Santa, please send the cheque to:

Mark Glass,

Sisson Ridge
