I received a piece of mail from B.C. Hydro, but it didn鈥檛 have its usual flat-bill look with its accompanying insert of propaganda. This envelope, which thousands will receive, had an unusually bulky side and so I opened it gingerly less it explode or contaminate me.
It turns out that it was just a toy, alongside the propaganda, advising customers to time their showers to four minutes, the length of the hourglass toy included.
Two thoughts came to mind. First, the post-modern, neo-Marxists had apparently infiltrated the grid (think Matrix) aided by B.C. Hydro鈥檚 public relations department, and second, that B.C. Hydro hopes that when it comes to its fantasy of fiscal acumen, a shiny bauble will distract.
