------------ SM-3: NO DAM WAY! --------------------
-SM-3 is a $3-billion megaproject on the Sainte-Marguerite
river, which flows 300km into the Stlaurence river, near
Sept-Isles on the North Shore of Quebec.
-The project will deivert two tributatries of the Moisie river,
leading to disastrous consequences for one of the most beautiful
salmon rivers in Quebec.
-Construction of SM-3 is but a new push for colonization within
a territory that does not belong to us: The Innu nation's Nitassinan.
At the end of 10 years of construction, the project will only create
about twenty permanent jobs.
-This new white elephant megaproject will only increase Hydro-Quebec's
accumulated debt which, at the $33-billion mark, is already sizeably
larger than the national debt of Peru.
-The project entails such dire environmental consequences that even the
province's environmentla assessment board (BAPE) came out clearly against
it. The Quebec government has stated that nonetheless, it could go ahead
with the dam.
-The Innu nation is determined to put up a fierce resistance to the
project, which will be the 14th dam on their ancestral territory and
the 486th dam in Quebec!
-Come and take part in a non-violent, people's blockade of Hydro-Quebec
or the support demo on October 12. Together, we will shut down the utility's
headquarters and state our opposition loud and clear to Hydro's butchering
of the North.
All groups and individuals from out of town are invited to join us.
There will be dinner, non-violence training and a place for all
to stay the night before, Oct. 11.
