It also sounds like Ontarians' propensity to underpay for hydro has a long history here.Thanks for that 'neat' link, wwwebster.
I was surprised by the "horse power hour" term in that article.

Summary: The body of William Edward Nash, aged 64, was located inside the Nash Snack Bar, which William Nash also used as his principle residence. William Nash operated a snack bar and previously a Supertest Gas Station on the east side of Kennedy Road, approximately 300 metres south of Highway #7, in the Village of Unionville. Evidence at the scene indicated that William Nash was the victim of a robbery as the contents of his snack bar had been removed. Witnesses at the time of the original investigation stated that William Nash was alive on Saturday June 23, 1956, between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. and that various noises were heard in and around the area of the Nash Snack Bar, after approximately 10 p.m. An autopsy determined that William Nash died of blunt force trauma to the head. - See more at: http://www.yrp.ca/coldcases.aspx#sthash.wwhE0wZD.dpuf

Went to Google street view again for this one. Not much there now - a plaza with a Beer Store, if my distance estimating skills are any good...
