How Do I Donate To This?

1. Good. The ongoing environmental disaster caused by the James Bay project has been overlooked for too long. That project is the biggest emitter of methane gas in Canada, a greenhouse gas at least ten times more dangerous than carbon dioxide.

   If the Federal government were serious about fighting climate change shutting down and draining the James Bay project would be their highest priority.

   😉

   1. Ottawa has got to be the #2 emitter of methane.
      We call it P Hill for short but it should be BS Hill.

   2. There is no amount of climate change that can be “fought” by human beings, and neither methane nor CO2 are “dangerous greenhouse gases.”

      You’re welcome.

      1. OSF, correct.

   3. It’s in Quebec, not Alberta. BIG difference.

   4. a greenhouse gas at least ten times more dangerous than carbon dioxide

      Small potatoes! Water vapour is orders of magnitude more powerful than CO2 or methane as a greenhouse gas. Clearly the only way to save the planet is to dam the St. Lawrence and drain the Great Lakes. It’s for the children.

   5. Termites emit more methane than all human production combined.
      The effect of methane, in any concentrations, is within temperature data collection error.
      Please do try and keep up!

2. Eastern Link this Quebec!!

3. In a version of this article posted earlier in SDA, it noted that Legault said Quebec would become the green battery of North America. I can’t wait for the transfer-payment cheques to roll in to Alberta. Then we can have free daycare, cheap university, etc. just like Quebec. Oh wait, we would have to threaten to separate first in order to get these “equalization” payments.

4. “What goes around comes around.”

5. “We proceeded with this project in a rigorous manner, with a step-by-step approach,” Quebec Energy Minister Jonatan Julien said, “It’s clear a “unilateral decision” that calls into question, in a retroactive manner, all the permits we have obtained with our partners is unusual.”
   Typical Quebec Hypocrite as this is the same argument in reverse for the existing pipelines. Just flush some more shit into the St. Lawrence.

6. The salient difference between Quebec and Alberta is that Hydro-Quebec is ignoring the BS and continuing with the project, while Alberta would fold like an umbrella and start crying like a little girl right off the bat.

   1. Amen, Alberta is populated with cucked, gelded pussies who hide behind their mommy’s skirts in fear of……a faggot PM from Quebec.

   2. I wonder if Versant Energy is part of this? Versant was bought by ENMAX Energy, a Calgary city-owned utility for US$1.2 Billion last fall. Why? Damned if I know!

7. Maine don’t need Quebec’s dirty hydro.

   1. Maine wasn’t getting any power from Quebec. It’s all going to Massive-two-shits. The lines were just being run through Maine.

      1. This will cause Quebec to double-down on its irrational hatred of Alberta but for now, what a ride!

         At any rate, Quebec has lost a massive deal it truly needed.

         Let it idle the long winter hours away on that.

8. K-becers think their shit doesn’t stink.
   Its part of the reason they have taken so much from the ROC.
   I don’t blame them.
   They think they’re their own nation so whatever.

   Its a waste of energy (heh) to continually blame them for your own inability to take charge of your fate.
   Until Alberta and Saskatchewan and other provinces view their territory/people the same way, you’ll just be spinning your tires.

   1. Buddy: Correct.

9. Failed on NH and Maine, next stop NY (why bother trying Vermont).
   Hopefully QC will be reduced to shipping their voltage by train or ship: batteries work, right?

   1. Which would make sense since NY is already a huge customer.

10. The arithmetic:
    In Maine: 33% turnout voted 60% to cancel the project.
    That’s 19.8% of the citizens of Maine.
    And as indicated a referendum should not be permitted to cancel a legal contract which is in full compliance with the law.

    Gubmints are supposed to be contract ENFORCERS.
    I learned it in a booooook.

    But YES lovely to see Quebec suffer from the ‘come around’.

    1. So given Trudeau won with 20% of the vote too does that invalidate all federal legislation? Just need to know the rules now.

       1. Here’s the rules:
          I have a permit and a contract to do this work, if you try top stop me, you get sued into oblivion. Quebec, unlike Alberta, knows how to handle these assholes: Ignore them, and see if they have the balls to send out troops to illegally stop the work.

          1. Nice world you live in, just not this one.
             You got a contract, government changes the law to screw you. Happened to me. Happens to lots of people.
             Go have a Pepsi.

11. What, people don’t want vast tracts of pristine forest to be permanently mowed down, infrastructure built, constant maintenance and rusting hydro tower eyesore?
    Geez, what’s not to like?
    I like that Quebec is getting the shaft but I don’t like that the Sierra Club and other climate nutjobs were a party in this referendum proving once again climate cultists never present solutions for energy concerns, even when it’s touted as “green” which was the case here, but they sure are experts at telling you what they don’t like which is usually everything.
    Kinda like a whiney Wet’suwet’en hereditary chief.

12. Won’t Quebec need that hydro power for their cars?

13. Shut the whole modern world down.
    Let Charles Darwin teach the left a few things.
    They can all starve while freezing in the dark.
    Cannibalism is the new thing.

    1. Vegans are so determined to make themselves known. Cannibalism will be an easy undertaking.

14. I am especially amused to see that 1/3 of the electorate voted in this, and carried it.

    That’s how it is in Canada too. We have low voter turnout, voting for “stuff” and now we’re stuck with legions of imbeciles set to ruin the country.

    Separation is the way forward, with some caveats to prevent the infection set to kill Canada.

15. And this.
    The electricity that Quebec sells for billions of dollars is NOT counted in equalization calculations. If it was, Quebec would be paying out, not collecting.

    1. No, hydro revenues *are* counted when calculating equalization, but they are counted at the subsidized rate at which hydro is sold domestically in Quebec and Manitoba. So this formula gives those provinces the perverse incentive to subsidize hydro rates even further so as to collect higher equalization payments.

       It was calculated a few years ago that Quebec’s (and presumably Manitoba’s) equalization would be cut by a third if hydro revenues were calculated at market rates. That would mean that Quebec would “only” receive $9 billion a year rather than the $13.5 billion that they currently get.

       Of course Hydro Quebec plans to sell power to Massachusetts at market rates (if this deal ever goes through that is) and the profits that accrue to the Quebec government would be end up lowering the equalization they receive through the complicated and murky formula that the feds use to calculate it. So it’s in the financial interest of Alberta and every other “have” province to see this deal go through.
