Julie a publié un reportage dans L'actualité sur les Franco-Ontariens à l'heure de Doug Ford. Ce n'est pas la défaite, c'est la revanche...

La riposte des francos

En voulant sabrer des services chers aux Franco-Ontariens, le premier ministre Doug Ford a mis le feu au baril de poudre linguistique. Non seulement ses décisions ont mené des milliers de francophones dans la rue, mais elles ont aussi braqué les projecteurs sur la situation très précaire des mi...

Another incredibly bad idea from Quebec's CAQ government. I'm all for encouraging newcomers to speak French, but splitting linguistic hairs to decide who gets what services is a really dumb idea.

Quebec's 'historic anglophones' will be identified by Bill 101: Legault

Quebec's "historic anglophones" will be dictated by Bill 101, Quebec's premier said Tuesday after at least one politician asked the CAQ government how it plans to figure out who qualifies for English services in the province.

Une nouvelle chronique de Jean-Benoit Nadeau sur la langue. Il interview Anne-Marie Beaudoin-Bégin, mieux connue comme L'insolente linguiste sur son nouveau livre «La langue racontée». On gagnerait à mieux enseigner l'histoire de la langue française.

La langue racontée d’Anne-Marie Beaudoin-Bégin

A «must-read»: an excellent paper by Michael Orkin in the The Mercury News about the woes of Pacific Gas and Electric Company, which could be regarded as the reverse image of Hydro-Québec. #Quebec's state monopoly isn't perfect, but when you consider the situation in #California, they are damned lucky. It's something we discuss in our new book, «Charging ahead! Hydro-Quebec and the Future of Electricity», published by Baraka Books and available on Barnes and Noble, and Amazon as well.

Opinion: California needs a power company ready for today’s challenges

PG&E outage policies take us back to the 19th century, when there was no electricity.

Excellent paper by James Conca in Forbes on #energytransition. It is especially enlightening in explaining why wind and solar power will be more natural gas power as well. However, he is a bit off when he writes: “Hydro and small modular nuclear reactors are also excellent for load-following renewables, but only the Pacific Northwest has sufficient hydro for that on a large-scale, and SMRs will take decades to deploy in sufficient numbers to take over from natural gas.” He is forgetting that companies like Hydro-Québec, but also Ontario Power Generation and BC Hydro have vast surpluses that can be better integrated in the American energy system. In fact, we call Hydro-Quebec the battery of the North-East.

Natural Gas And Renewables Will Rule America’s Electricity Future

As much as wind and solar are increasing, natural gas is increasing more. And gas will continue to grow faster than all other sources in the United States for some time. By mid-century, gas should exceed 50% of our generation, with renewables in second at over 25%.
