Hydro-Quebec is currently trying to buy the expected Central Maine Power corridor referendum in November with their ads. A loophole in Maine’s election law allows a foreign influence to spend money in a referendum election. Some ads even compared Baxter State Park with The Jacques-Cartier National Park in Quebec to promote Quebec’s care for scenic beauty. Hydro-Quebec once tried to build a dam that would have destroyed this park. The Quebec people fought to save their natural resources, as should the Maine people. Side by side. ~ Ed Buzzell, Moxie Gore
