Only if the money that you and everyone else is Canada pays, goes towards the true cost of providing you with all your luxeries, then perhaps you should know my salary.

So because you're only subsidized, it's none of our business? Give me a break.

We can't be held responsible for the fact that power generation isn't fully public. We can, however, hold those who draw even a portion of their paycheques from the public coffers accountable. And by accountable I mean a NON-IDENTIFIABLE salary list.

The sunshine list is the tip of the iceberg.

Also, I don't like your insinuation about my luxuries. I hope you're either off the grid or feeding your own solar-generated power back into the grid with an attitude like that. We're pretty judicious here about power use - washing only when we have full loads of laundry, drying only on cold (winter) / rainy days, full CFL deployment for the house (has been for over 3 years now), heated by natural gas with a tiny bit of supplemental baseboard (set at 13C) in the far corners of the house.

I don't really need to justify "my" luxuries to you, but apparently you've forgotten where a portion of your paycheque comes from. Or you just don't give a s***. Either way, public money is just that... public. Deal with it.
