Private companies have to enter a special partnership and sell all their electricity to the government's company.

This was relatively recently used by ''Liberals'' ( in name only. Globalists is what they are ) to get bribes from contracts that result in a net, massive deficit for the public. ( you're probably aware of the Greenwashing project scams. ''we must do it to produce clean energy to save the planet!'' said energy costs several times the price and is unreliable )

One was a gas power station that never operated but we still pay for. From the ''gas is cleaner than coal'' era. Liberals were obsessed with making Québec dependant on gas imports for decades to ''strenghten Canadian unity'' and kill resistance to letting a pipeline cross our territory. Now it's less popular because the Liberal voters are eco nuts.

And several big wind turbine farms that cost 3 to 4 times what the curret energy price is in Quebec.

This means the public company is now shoveling hundreds of millions of dollars into private hands who owe favors to Globalist ''Liberal'' politicians.

The Liberals also tried to make Hydro-Québec buy New-Brunswick Power Corporation, which isn't profitable AND charges much higher price than Hydro-Québec.

This move was to de-facto put Hydro-Québec into the jurisdiction of the Federal government, as it would have owned the energy market of two provinces.

The predictable outcome would have been forcing Hydro-Québec to ''equalize'' the energy costs to costumers of both provinces after non-stop whining about ''fairness''.

Thank God the Anglos in New-Brunswick threw a HUGE fit of public anger over having their energy market owned by us Frogs. Then some Quebec nationalists figured the consequences of Hydro-Québec owning NBPC and opposed it too.

At that point it was easy to derail the project by telling people in Québec it would massively increase their energy costs and let the Federal government shove its nose into all our energy decisions.

Globalists are alike everywhere they ruin nations.
