 JW> Really remote places are subsidised with a stabilised rate of 90
 JW> cents. The real cost in Colville Lake, the most remote community
 JW> up here, is $3.22 Per kwh)

 SH> Wow.

Most of the off road communities are accessible by both summer river
barge and winter ice road. But the small river draining Colville
Lake does not drain into the Mackenzie River where the barges run
but goes straight north to the Arctic Ocean. The only way to haul
freight in including diesel oil for the community generator and home
heating fuel is a 651 km long winter road that's only open to heavy
trucks that are restricted to 50 km/hour for about 90 to 105 days a
year. The cost of living there is incredibly high.

 SH> the pigeons would get into anything.  Animal proof container wouldn't
 SH> stop a Oshawa gang member Pidgeon.   They carry weapons. LOL
