They started at 2 pm and we were given plenty of warning about it. The only problem is you don't know when or where they will strike. At 4 pm we lost power at work and I was sent home. :( (I lost 2 hours pay).

I had heard that the rolling blackouts will be across Onatrio today and all weekend long. :|

Not to mention the line ups for gas.

This just sucks.

Bleh, the lineups are only around twenty minutes, brampton area didn't have water today. I'd rather have water than power.

The lines around here aren't that bad, but good god the prices are insane. Before the blackout, $1.50 a gallon for 87 octane. Today it's $1.73 for 87 octane.

When we lost power in our building, we had no water. It is pumped electrically. Now that sucks!
