An exemplary grass-roots struggle against a planned methane tanker terminal on the South Shore of the St. Lawrence. Focused on environmental issues, it has strong political impact. Teachers should insist on the following questions: What are the citizens’ arguments to justify their stance? Are the promoters’ arguments legitimate, or not? What do you think of the government’s decisions in this case? And those of the BAPE? Can you think of other, cleaner energy sources that might replace this fossil fuel? Since this film was released, in 2008, what has become of the Rabaska project? What other project appears to have taken its place, and sparked even stronger opposition?
