I was very EXTREMELY upset when I learn that Quebec province
is actually trying to stop the Lower Churchill River project in Newfoundland and
Labrador from happening. Quebec has their establishments, in this case Hydro
Québec. It seems to me that Quebec province never has been able to expand
outside their province. They once tried to get into New Brunswick and they
received the hell of a response... Do you think it work out? Do you think that
New Brunswickers like myself accepted to be control and dependable of Quebec
province, an unbalanced province that cheat on Canadians so many times? And
what if Quebec separate? We’ll have to deal with them anyway?
Of course, we protested and the takeover deal had been
cancel. There will be no f Quebeckers controlling our territory and our
electricity, that for sure. I think that in New Brunswick, we all think the
same way when it comes to Quebec. We are totally disgusted by them.
New Brunswick province is a smaller territory and we don’t
even have 1 million in term of population. The North of New Brunswick is poor
and there’s a lot of pollution. I remember being young, we could go for a swim
in a small river located close to home but now, forget about it. We have one
lake however that remains beautiful, but it’s about it. There’s a lot of pollution
too in the very north of New Brunswick. The provincial government never been
careful about the industries getting there. Because of the lack of job, they
accepted anything and everything. In result, people are dying of cancer. For
the small population that we are, there’s a high level of cancer in New
Brunswick. So high that even small hospitals of the North of New Brunswick are
provided treatment for cancer. Luckily, no one of my family, immediate or
extended never got cancer, except my aunt. She went through a small but rough
treatment, didn’t lose her hair and now seem to be well.
The Lower Churchill River project won’t happen in New
Brunswick, but it could be a solution for us to get the electricity that we so
desperately need. The Lower Churchill River project is also a way to reward
Newfoundland and Labrador to be part of Canada. If I remember my history class
correctly, Newfoundland and Labrador was the last territory to be annexed to
Canada. Newfoundland was once even worst than New Brunswick. There was no job
and the number of people on welfare was high as well as the unemployment and
people on EI. But things eventually became better and Newfoundland is booming.
As Canadians, it’s important to work hand in hand with the
federal government to be able to push on some important projects. In their
extreme arrogance, Quebec doesn’t want the federal to be involved in topic that
is of the authority of the province, like health, education etc.
My word is, you have to trust the country, you have to trust
the nation. The Maritime provinces need the help of the federal to establish
themselves and its ok that way. We are not arrogant, we are dumb, we are not
stupid. Newfoundland and Labrador has understood the way to go. We are one
united country and the richness that will be created in Newfoundland will
benefit, indirectly, to the rest of Canada. If Quebec could have the same ethic
and understanding, they wouldn’t have those “600 milliards” (that part is in
French, sorry) in debt, they wouldn’t be stuck in their corruptible system, they
will be healthy. Instead of focusing on what is wrong, on wanted to be a
country of their own, Quebec should have concentrated its effort at pushing
their economy. Now, try to explain that to a Quebecker that have vote Pauline
Marois and the Bloc Québécois at the last election.
Quebec is where it is to be. They are paying the price of
their freshness and now, they look pretty dumb at trying to stop the Lower
Churchill River project from happening. By doing so, I hope that business
owners of other provinces will wake up and stop dealing with Quebec. There’s a
need for punishment for what they are intended to do. I hope Quebec will pay.
Quebec government should be ashamed.
