I thought the same thing when I read this.  I also think Lawson is going to try and replace people and needed jobs with the 26 million $dollar smart meter program.  His last press release to the RG sounded like a smart meter campaign.  Its well documented that bills go up when these are installed and these plastic meters have only a stated lifespan of 10-15 years and many, in other cities, have had to be replaced much earlier for problems with fires, power surges, etc.  The existing analog meter has a proven history of safety, is made of aluminum and lasts for 50 years. 


Please watch the award winning documentary, Take Back Your Power, to see what the former director of the CIA, the US state attorney  generals, the former Prime Minister of British Columbia, doctors, lawyers, public advocates, customers, etc. are saying about these smart meters.
