自选电视频道是什么意思？

 

[YINGWA]

自选电视channel！

A liberal MP has said "What is right is right is right".
I would like to say "A good policy is a good policy a good policy"
"自选电视channel！" is not just good news, it is also a GOOD policy (vs ADSCAM, eHealth, Ornge, Senators scandal, ). ALL Canadians benefited from this good policy.

自选电视频道是做梦， 垄断的行业不可能给你这种优惠。 即使能自选价格也高的惊人。

怎么自选电视频道？

I think it is more like your Consumer gas bill, you have to pay basic charges like:
account fee, delivery charge, ..., then Unit of Gas used charges.

TV, I think is basic charge, plus number of channels subscribed (I hope it is $3-5 per channel?)

变个法子，再挤兑消费者。

电费增加3%是真的坏消息

这麦啃蹄的垃圾党是怎么算帐的？
Those who pay time-of-use rates will pay about 3 per cent more for electricity on their total bill.
The new price for peak power will be 12.9 cents a kilowatt hour; for mid-peak, 10.9 cents a kilowatt hour; and for off-peak, 7.2 cents a kilowatt hour.
In percentage terms, the off-peak power price jumps 7.5 per cent, while the peak price rises only 4 per cent, and mid-peak 4.8 per cent.
分别加了7.2%, 4%, 4.8%. 总的加了大约3%。这大约也约太多了。怪不得电厂一下子约出10亿刀，然后立马涨电费。
