  • Hydro-Québec: an Electrifying Tale
    Hydro-Québec: an electrifying tale HYDRO-QUÉBEC: A FORERUNNER IN THE FIELD OF RENEWABLE ENERGY Environmental issues have become a major concern in the 21st century, but already in the late 19th century Québec was a precursor in the development of renewable energy. Its innovative approach is not surprising, given that Québec possesses over 40% of Canada’s water resources in the form of 130,000 watercourses and 1,000,000 lakes. THE FIRST STEPS TOWARDS CREATING A QUÉBEC SYMBOL Under the government of Adélard Godbout, Québec nationalized the electrical assets of the Montreal Light, Heat and Power Company and placed them under the management of the Quebec Hydroelectric Commission in order to supply electricity to municipalities, industrial and commercial enterprises, and private citizens at the lowest rates consistent with sound financial administration. On April 14, 1944, Hydro-Québec was born. Its first actions were to improve the reliability of its transmission and distribution grid. It continued work to develop the Beauharnois generating station, commissioned in 1932, and launched its first major project: to harness the power of the Betsiamites river on the North Shore. This gave Hydro-Québec an opportunity to hone its skills and show the world that it could transmit electrical energy over Picture : © Archives d’Hydro‑Québec large distances at a voltage of 315 kV, a record at the time. The monthly magazine Le Progrès à la ferme promoted rural electrification Picture : © Archives d’Hydro‑Québec in the 1950s. Logo used by Hydro-Québec from 1944 to 1964. CONSOLIDATION OF HYDRO-QUÉBEC’S ACTIVITIES At the request of the government led by Maurice Duplessis, Hydro-Québec focused on the large-scale electrification of rural regions in Québec, but it was only under the government of Jean Lesage, in the early 1960s, that Hydro-Québec completed its nationalization of the province’s private electricity producers and distributors.

Some of the waste from these operations, in the form of quartz tailings, was used as bal­ last when the Sault Ste. Marie branch of the Canadian Pacific Railway was built in 1887. Due to the primitive concentrating process used, these tailings contained a significant amount of residual copper and some precious metals and, one day, Can­ adian Pacific Limited may find it worth­ while to mine this part of CP RAIL's own roadbed. Back in 1898, two new copper mining concerns appeared at the "Bruce", one at the town and the other at Rock Lake, some ten miles to the north. Bruce Copper Mines Limited, the "town" company, spent large sums of money on surface installations, like a stamp mill for crushing ore, a coal dock and over a mile of railway to connect mill and mine and dock. Rock Lake Mining Company also erected expensive facilities above ground, the most impressive being a huge mill on the shores of Rock Lake, about two miles from the mine. A standard-gauge railway was built to connect the two sites. The mill's production was to be sent to a smelter in Michigan for refining and, in order to transport it out of Rock Lake, the Bruce Mines and Algoma Railway Company ~as chartered in 1899 to build north to Rock Lake from a point (junction) on the Canadian Pacific's Sault Branch.

Through my research I have found that both entities follow a very similar timeline with highs and lows coming around the same time in the same province; although, I have not found any direct linkage between the two. My analysis begins around 1837 and continues through present day, and by analyzing the histories of each movement demonstrates clearly that both movements followed a unique and similar timeline.

  • Identity Paradiplomacy in Québec
    Identity Paradiplomacy in Québec Stéphane Paquin École nationale d’administration publique Identity Paradiplomacy in Québec This article explains why Québec is one the most active subnational governments at the international level. Traditionally, researchers discuss paradiplomacy and protodiplomacy, but neither concept fits the case of Québec very well. In Québec, there is a consensus among the political parties that favors “identity paradiplomacy.” The fundamental aim of Québec’s identity paradiplomacy is to construct and reinforce Québec’s national identity by undertaking international actions abroad. Identity paradiplomacy is more intense than typical paradi- plomacy and is distinct from protodiplomacy in that it does not aim for political independence. The twofold purpose of Québec’s international strategy is to galvanize Québec’s development and to achieve international recognition of Québec as a nation abroad. L’objectif de cet article est d’expliquer pourquoi le Québec est un des États fédérés les plus actifs sur la scène internationale. Règle générale, les spécialistes utilisent deux concepts, ceux de paradiplomatie et de protodiplomatie, pour expliquer les actions internationales des États fédérés, mais ces deux concepts ne rendent pas justice au cas du Québec. Au Québec, il existe un consensus entre les partis politiques pour mettre en œuvre une « paradiplomatie identitaire » dont l’objectif fondamental est la construction et la promotion de la nation québécoise par l’entremise d’actions internationales. La paradiplomatie identitaire est plus intense que la paradiplomatie mais distincte de la protodiplomatie puisque le but de l’action internationale n’est pas l’atteinte du statut de pays souverain. For well over half a century now, the Québec government has pursued its own international policy parallel to that of the Canadian federal government, a practice known to scholars as paradiplomacy.
