In 2008 after we distributed 5000 pro- life newspapers in the North and a few other
acts of similar deplorable behaviour against the higher -ups aka northern mafia the push to kick us out was intensified. We were fighting to own our home as we had been for ten years. Our lawyer had negotiatiated that if we could come up with $ 25000 by MAY 30 ,2008 the house was ours.
We were fund raising via our son, then Brother Nathan selling a devotional book at the back of his parish church. La Ronge Municipal Housing stopped water delivery , then a Sask Power Truck travelled the 350 km round trip to take away our electric metre . He entered our yard and yanked it from the wall of our house with out our permission. We now own our house as we have since that date.
Sask Power , a few months ago changed all the metres in Brabant Lake because they were considered unsafe. There had been houses burned down throughout Canada due to the metres bursting into flame. Sask Power did not change our metre nor even advise uus of the danger.
On Thursday January 11, my husband John had gone with the tow truck to get our truck fixed in La Ronge . He was staying over night. At 9 pm the lights began to flicker, then go out. Soon there was no phone connection, no water no heat . A few lights were still on but no heat came from the stove. It was 45 below that night . No other homes seem affected.
I was waiting for the store to open at 9 am when my neighbour came to tell me that John had been phoning him and that he had come to check on me. For the third time we checked the fuse box.
John phoned ABBEN Heating. By 1:30 the electricition was her. By 2:30 the power was temporarily restored. SaskPower will not come to replace the metre. SaskPower will not pay one cent to help pay for the cost. SaskPower has made it abundantly clear that they will do nothing for us, now or in the future. The metre was melted and could have easily burst into flames and burned the house down as has had happened in other places. SaskPower knew of the danger because all other homes had their metres changed.
The metre, SaskPower claims is our property, therefore our complete responsibility.
Then why do they come every month, walk on our yard and send us a bill ? If we don’t pay that bill, the metre , which they claim belongs to us can be turned off. In 2008 they walked into our yard , and yanked the metre off the wall while we wer in the process of buying the house and was not in any arrears to Sask Power.
People like to throw out the boogy man that conservatives will privatise SaskPower and we’ll all freeze in the dark. Well folks without us knowing it, SaskPower has privatised electricity on Block 1, Lot 2 in Brabant Lake. Gay
