The Innu of Pessamit have just REJECTED their band council's agreement-in-principal with Hydro-Québec in a referendum. The deal would have signed away all rights to contest Hydro-Quebec's destruction of Innu territory, paving the way for a giant new dam, wind farms, and transmission lines. The community was given only ten days to gain an understanding of the complex, 42-page legal document. Hydro-Québec is seeking to massively increase power generation to supply data centers and other high-tech industries. https://ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/2268448/jour-vote-entente-pessamit-hydro-quebec
