RE:Funny story about Paul Desmarais
Interesting story, you know I never made the connection between Power Company and it being a former utility. I know it's based in Quebec and I am wondering if it had any connection to the nationalized Shawinigan Water and Power and Montreal Heat, Light and Power that Quebec made into Hydro-Quebec in 1944. I was reading about them last summer and asked a history professor about what compensation if any the shareholders of those companies received when they were nationalized and he didn't know. I wonder if this holding company was impacted by that way back then.
