MONTREAL Two busloads of protesters who descended on Montreal s Olympic Stadium last Sunday to protest ongoing COVID-19 restrictions may have, in the process, been exposed to the virus. The health authority for the Quebec Chaudiere-Appalaches region near Quebec City said Friday that some passengers on a bus that was used to carry people to the May 1 demonstration tested positive for the virus. The Public Health Department invites those concerned to get tested and to isolate themselves if necessary in case of symptoms, the CISSS de Chaudiere-Appalaches said in a news release. A spokesperson said the public callout was necessary in this case, because there hasn t been total cooperation from those involved.

I must challenge claims in Alex Titcomb’s letter published Feb. 24, “NECEC won’t tarnish Maine’s woods.” It appears Alex’s exposure to the proposed corridor zone is limited to Route 201, an existing corridor bisecting the industrial timberlands of Somerset County.
Unlike the swath of internationally-shared wilderness NECEC would permanently bisect, these forests are regenerated to protect the long-term investments of big landowners. Unlike NECEC, these forests provide permanent jobs for thousands of Mainers.
Perhaps, Alex is unaware the true goal of NECEC is corridor status, from Lac Megantic to the Sheepscot River in Wiscasset. Does he realize the only industrial infrastructure in the proposed corridor zone is an international railroad? Can he visualize the territory from Quebec’s Chaudiere-Appalaches wilderness, through the wildly remote Moose River Basin, to the Dead River and the Upper Kennebec River Gorge?
