Not only did HydroQuebec underwrite the cost of building Churchill falls (not even the feds would touch the numbers at the time) but the newfoundland legislature voted TWICE to agree to the deal with HydroQuebec to extend the sale until 2041. And let us be realistic in 2041 NL will likely have to continue to sell to HydroQuebec, maybe at slightly better rates, but not much. Labrador is far away from dense population centres and all that power needs transmission which is through QUebec. And before anyone starts on the under water cable to NS, that is currently maxed at 500MW all sold to NS, Muskrat alone is 840MW which means there is 340MW that has to be used by NL (not likely) or be sold to Quebec in addition to what is already being sold to HydroQuebec.

NL is screw-d
