Montreal, Tuesday, April 20, 2004 - Alcan’s controversial decision to close the Solderberg plants in Jonquière, Québec, is an event that affects the lives of many Canadians, leaving a palpable effect on the Québecois economy and the social fabric of working class Québec. It goes without saying that Alcan’s practices in other parts of the world are less easy for Canadians to imagine, but imagine we must if we are to come to grips with the far reaching impacts of this Montreal-based multinational corporation.

Ceci est un média alternatif de publication ouverte. Le collectif CMAQ, qui gère la validation des contributions sur le Indymedia-Québec, n'endosse aucunement les propos et ne juge pas de la véracité des informations. Ce sont les commentaires des Internautes, comme vous, qui servent à évaluer la qualité de l'information. Nous avons néanmoins une Politique éditoriale , qui essentiellement demande que les contributions portent sur une question d'émancipation et ne proviennent pas de médias commerciaux.

This is an alternative media using open publishing. The CMAQ collective, who validates the posts submitted on the Indymedia-Quebec, does not endorse in any way the opinions and statements and does not judge if the information is correct or true. The quality of the information is evaluated by the comments from Internet surfers, like yourself. We nonetheless have an Editorial Policy , which essentially requires that posts be related to questions of emancipation and does not come from a commercial media.
