From our friends at the podcast Outside/In, the story of how a massive, state-owned utility company came to be a symbol of the French-Canadian people.
It’s also the story of how a company, with all of the force of a colonial culture behind it, used its power to try to push Québec’s original occupants — its indigenous people — to one side. It’s the story of how that effort led to something that has become its own kind of revolution in Canada: native people pushing to regain power over their own lives and culture.
