Quebec Canada..
Quebec Hydro electic has apoligized for a report sent out in 1991 about
stating the Natives (Cree) were a threat to security of Quebec's Hydro
stations.
They stated that at no time did the tell or give permission for Hydro
Police to spy on the Cree or environment groups that support the Cree.
The Cree and others presented a complaint in 1993 when it was learn that
a report that the police were given new directions to follow. Hydro Quebec's
report requested that the force gather information. They wanted them to look
into things like radical social groups and were moving to terrorism.
The Cree have pull complaint but still feel that Hydro can not be
trusted and no one can blame them.
The 188 police state that their job is to protect the sites and have
nothing to do with spying on anyone, or any groups.
Grand Chief Namagoose was upset the a public inquiry was not done to
look into the what this police force was doing or had been doing up till now.
Hydro spoke peasons clain they have never spied nor do they intend to
and that the police were only to protect the sites and from anyone stealing
electricity.
Anyway have you ever known anyone that has a police force admit to
spying on someone ?
Anyway in the end Hydro gives it word it will spy on the Cree or anyone
else. Gee, this is so hard to not believe, when we think of things like wire
taps, cellular phones, scanners that might just be for enjoyment.
