This book outlines the 45-year history of Alcan’s industrial activities in British Columbia, uncovers the back-room political deals that have made those activities possible, and discusses the roles Canada’s federal and provincial governments must play in their attempts to reverse the dangerous precedents that the Alcan deals have set.
It also examines the consequences for Canada and North America if these governments fail to address responsibly the mess that they themselves have created.
This book is a must-read for those who wish to remain informed on the question of who is to control North America’s vital water and power resources in the twenty-first century.
