People always complain about their "power bill", which makes sense since it's shortened from SaskPower.



That one goes all the way through the prairies too.
Some Acadian relatives I have in the Maritimes refer to the power bill as a bill for "pouvoir", even though in NB at least the name of the utility is NB Power / Énergie NB.
