Join the protest at the London Hydro offices, 111 Horton St., between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.

Yakabuski blamed the increase in power costs on the Liberal government’s reliance on “sweetheart deals” with higher-cost energy producers, such as wind power companies, instead of lower-cost ones such as nuclear power.

Londoner Arnold Hull won’t be helping the city keep a walkway beside his house safe and clean anymore.

A 17% hike in his power bill has persuaded the fixed-income retiree to turn out the spotlights he shines on the public walkway to keep vandals away.

“It just seems to me there is one thing after another after another,” he said. “With the attitude of city hall, and now the massive hike in hydro rates, as fixed-income seniors we have shut off the walkway light.”
