Premier Tim Houston says Nova Scotia Power's proposed rate increase shows just how "out of touch" the company is, but Houston doesn't suggest he'll take any action to oppose the rate increase.

PREMIER’S OFFICE--Statement on Proposed Nova Scotia Power Rate Hike --------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: The following is a statement from Premier Tim Houston in response to Nova Scotia Power’s application for a rate increase filed with the Nova Scotia Energy Board. --------------------------------------------------------- Time and time again, Nova Scotia Power shows Nova Scotians how out of touch they are. After overseeing one of the largest data breaches in our province’s history, asking Nova Scotians to pay more should not be the utility’s first move. We still feel betrayed by Nova Scotia Power. This is not the time for a rate increase. This is a time for Nova Scotia Power to show they understand Nova Scotians and withdraw or significantly reduce their application.

Politicians using social media to criticize corporate abuses without passing meaningful legislation are engaging in political theater. It creates an illusion of action while bypassing democracy’s checks and balances, shifting power toward personal rule and undermining real, systemic reform.
