Abstract
Rita Wong discusses the disconnect between electricity consumption and generation in BC, specifically how Vancouver and other Southern populations receive electricity at the expense of Northern Indigenous communities.She lambastes the provincial government's lack of educating non-indigenous populations about the environmental consequences of prior dams and the proposed Site C / Peace River Dam. However, Wong does acknowledge the city of Vancouver's efforts to generate electricity and other resources locally.
