Zero Power
Who having fun with no electricity.
I aint at home right now, sitting at work, working on a project.
I have no idea when the electricity went off last night in the West Island. Got home at like around 8 PM.
Weirdest thing and the stupidest thing I do not understand, if any of you live off of St Charles and still have electricity, you lucky fucks!
One thing St Charles last night, I could not understand how certain part of the west side would have power and the east side wouldnt or vice versa (?sp), weird ass grid.
Also I thought Hyrdro would of learnt their lesson from back in 1998 (Ice Storm) too have everything underground. ******S!!!
Thats my rant for right now.
Man I hope we get power back by 3-4 PM because my house might be at like 0 dC

So like I said depending on if your an NCM or Officer and your rank, you probably make at least $50,000 a year but most likely more. And depending on if you live at CFB Kingston your cost of living is probably very low as well, but even if you weren't cost of living in Kingston isn't that bad. Its only $30 which is cheaper than most nights at Stereo. Most of us on here who post about Stereo have put out probably hundreds and hundreds of dollars clubbing there just this year alone, and have never really complained for the most part. I know I sure as hell have.

everything underground
I think you don't realize the amount of money, time and fuckedupiness (new word) it would take to achieve that for Montreal and rest of province.
There's an ongoing project to burry power lines (not all of them) on a period of 30 years.
I lost power at 5pm last night and got it back at 9:15 am here in Ile Bizard

all new sectors have burried lines.
the older ones had electricity when the polish people were fighting themselves for fire.
