If their is no danger or risk why is BC Hydro and the Liebral government so worried about putting this matter up for public examination with out the liebral spin. Why are countries such as Denmark and USA ,Netherlands even Australia starting to call for removal because of safety concerns? Why did Ontario Government state that the smart meters have not delivered on any of the results they expected and are calling for removal and return to a safer technology?

Smart Meter is all about usage tracking.
The electric car is is the big thing; the government wants be able to charge you extra taxes on the electricity you use to charge your electric car (to pay for things like Translink).

DanP: Now I know the race in life is along one and that it is only with yourself and that your chances in life are only at half mast and so is everyone else's. Now take a deep breath, stop shooting from the hip like Jim SinClair and Adrian Dix, go back and re-read my first comment. I NOW HAVE THE SMART METER AND MY BILLINGS ARE THE SAME!. I am a happy camper.

by: Oh yes the town drunk, NDP premier Dave Barrett, Mr. ICBC himself. I was coming back from holidays and was waiting for a flight to Victoria from the U.S. Waiting for the same flight was Premier Dave Barrett, so plastered out his mind, that he had trouble standing up. They were not going to let him on the plane. His wife pleaded with the staff, that she would take full responsbility for him on the plane. They let him on. Nice to see that when clearing customs in Victoria, B.C., the drunk himselft didnot receive any special treatment because he was our premier. Treated just like you and I.

miltw: Cardboard bridge, may did you mean cardboard fridge Excellent qualifications for a NDP MLA! You still have not read my original comments. My hydro bill is not any higher with the new smart meter. Now go back to your NDP song, "FOOLS RUSH IN" by Ricky Nelson.

So I was thinking about the new BC Hydro smart meters and realized something. There are things they told us when they put them in. 4 of those are: They will only sync once a day, they will not be syncing with hydro for at least another year (from now), they will not cause our bills to go up and they will not be bringing in peak usage fees. Of those 4 I noticed some interesting real life facts. If you watch your meter it syncs every 30 seconds ( it says sync when it does it ), everybody I know that I have asked had there bill go up when they went in. mine went up 15 dollars a month for my small apartment and if you go to your account, you can look at your daily usage. That last means they they are on line already, or they couldn't show you that.
Looking at this do you really believe them when they say they won't be bringing in peak usage billing? Just saying.
