Quebec Premier Francois Legault announced today the Eastmain-1 dam and the Eastmain-1-A power plant will be renamed in memory of Bernard Landry, premier of Quebec between 2001-2003, who died last year

The large water basin behind the dam will now be called the Peace of the Braves reservoir, named after the historic 2002 economic development agreement between Quebec and the Cree, which ended years of conflict.Former grand chief Ted Moses, who signed the agreement with Landry, attended today’s announcement and told reporters the landmark deal has allowed the Cree nation to benefit from sustainable economic development.

The Bernard-Landry generating station and the Bernard-Landry dam are located in Cree territory, about 1,000 kilometres north of Montreal. They produce 2.3 terawatt-hours of energy per year, or enough to fulfil the needs of about 135,000 homes.

That dam doesn’t have social licence. Shut it down! It kills the environment. Also stop all mining in Quebec, same with the aviation industry. They’re a major polluter. Just replace bombardier with some solar panels. That aught to cover the job losses

Notice how no one in the media is steadily painting this guy as racist for instilling a values test? Hmmm 🧐
