Hydro-Quebec is a Crown Corporation owned exclusively by the Province of Quebec. Hydro-Quebec stands to make $12.4 billion in profits off of the proposed CMP corridor project by rerouting power they already sell to the Northeast on existing power lines, and charging Massachusetts more for it. Mainers see only pennies. It’s a terrible deal for Maine, and Hydro-Quebec knows it. That’s why it has funneled $6 million into a campaign to influence Maine voters through a loophole in our campaign finance laws (in addition to the $10 million CMP has spent). We must send a message to Quebec by voting “yes” this November. ~ Linda Flagg, Jay
