Many residents of Constance Bay received an anonymous letter in their mailboxes this week that beseached them to wake up to the “real cause” of the Ottawa River flood. The letter came in a brown envelope stamped, “Urgent”.
“Wake up people, educate yourself, you’re being lied to. Yes, I’m talking to you, dummy,” the unsigned letter reads. “Who is to blame for your flooded home other than your municipal, provincial and federal governments? Answer: Hydro electric companies.”
The vilification of those who operate many of the watershed’s dams and reservoirs is an event as regular as the floods themselves.
