Are you okay with Hydro-Quebec throwing record sums of money behind a political action committee to influence an election in Maine? Considering the fact that they’re owned by the government, and the people of Quebec have a vested interest in the outcome of the upcoming referendum, I sure am not!
Neither does 41 current and past lawmakers who sent a letter recently to Hydro-Quebec, urging them to stop “meddling” in our elections.
Regardless of how you feel about CMP’s for-profit NECEC corridor, the millions a foreign government has pumped into a propaganda campaign to sway your vote should alarm you.
That’s why this November, I’ll use my vote to send a clear message by voting YES to stop the corridor. I hope you will join me

The same argument can be said about Chuck Schumer buying your vote in the current US Senate race. Can your vote be bought?.
I’m not ok with Hydro-Quebec tryin to influence a Maine Election. Hydro-Quebec is over stepping its boundaries. But, what’s new?
Go away Hydro-Quebec. You’re not welcome here.
Dumping millions into it…$1,658,143.10 That is the amount of money generated by HydroQuebec and the supporters of the NECEC. $17,051,464.35 that is the money generated by stop the corridor and other naysayers. What were you saying about that whole millions of dollars to sway an election? BTW, a referendum question and subsequent vote, is not an election.
Here is the order should it pass:
That within 30 days of the effective date of this resolve and pursuant to its authority under the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 35-A, section 1321, the Public Utilities Commission shall amend “Order Granting Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity and Approving Stipulation,” entered by the Public Utilities Commission on May 3, 2019 in Docket No. 2017-00232 for the New England Clean Energy Connect transmission project, referred to in this resolve as “the NECEC transmission project.” The amended order must find that the construction and operation of the NECEC transmission project are not in the public interest and that there is not a public need for the NECEC transmission project. There not being a public need, the amended order must deny the request for a certificate of public convenience and necessity for the NECEC transmission project.
Now here is how it is defeated even if it does pass… CMP builds the NECEC and as part of the project CMP has to permanently protect and maintain 40,000 acres for public use. So while the opposition has been playing checkers, CMP and HydroQuebec has been playing chess.
HB, better check your figures. You seem to have reversed them. Did you hit return too soon again?
CMP protects and maintains 40,000 acres for public use after it fragments Maine’s Northwoods with a high powered transmission line.
Just to benefit itself, Quebec, Spain, and Massachusetts.
Chess? I’d say that’s more like playing Monopoly.

I wonder what personal trauma causes people to support crooked FOREIGN corporations?
Some kind of vendetta ,, trying to get even,, love of money,, disdain for everyday people,, ??
Glad I don’t understand..
Everything Is Beautiful.
