Les deux Hydro (1987) (The Two Hydro), Félix Leclerc

Poem by Félix Leclerc in support of Contestention. It reads: “Les deux Hydro. To Hydro-Laideur, Hydro-Violeur, with pylons, ironworks, excesses, I prefer the invisible Hydro-Silence. As Nénée Leclerc of Lotbinière used to say: “He who has little shows it, he who has much hides it! Félix Leclerc (the grandson) 1.0.1987”.
