It's about "consumption data reveal[ing] a homeowner using four kitchen ranges at the same time - not for any illicit purpose, but a safety hazard that was resolved with an electrical upgrade."
Quoth Chilliwack Mayor Clint Hames: "If laws are being broken and communities are being hurt ... we need to think about giving up some civil liberties to ensure safety."
