This letter is in response to claims made by Hydro-Quebec’s Matthew Boucher in his Sept. 17 letter on the crown corporation’s relations with Indigenous communities. Over the last several years, we have witnessed Hydro-Quebec using its money and political clout to attempt to discredit our Indigenous allies whenever they speak up. Serge Abergel has been at the forefront of using HQ’s press machine to spin the company’s egregious history of cultural genocide of Indigenous people into something that it’s not. We will continue to elevate the voices of Indigenous people speaking truth to power. Especially when it comes to falsely portraying hydropower as clean and green energy. ~ Margaret Sheehan, North American Megadam Resistance Alliance coordinator
