Here is what is happening in my neck of the woods.

The ironic thing is that the people didn't want to make waves 15 years ago when it became apparent that this was the result of a long plan. It started with a secret contract signed by at least 5 companies and the Provincial Government that allowed the trees to be harvested for a new mill in Quebec.
Back in the early 1900's mills in Iroquois Falls, Smooth Rock Falls and Kapuskasing were granted rights to damn rivers to create electrical power for their paper mills. Now the mills are closing and yet the government let them keep the right to the power dams which they have since sold.
Kapuskasing will be the last mill and that is because it is to far away to do Quebec any good.
Green Peace has become a world power that answers to no government.
