COPE 378 releases "Boardroom Brainstorm: Hydro Heist" video

Today COPE 378 launched a new online video looking at the gold rush of power privatization in BC.

Titled “Boardroom Brainstorm: Hydro Heist,” this short 2-minute video can be viewed online at MoveForwardBC.ca and on YouTube.

Boardroom Brainstorm is a satirical re-creation of a corporate setting where decisions are made to break-up and sell-off BC Hydro along with our province's rivers and streams.  

The dialogue shows the absurdity of the BC Energy Plan’s goal to develop private power across BC. Portraying corporate suits laughing away the ideas of local input and environmental damage, the video also concludes with a humourous dig at Premier Gordon Campbell, whose government is responsible for the great Hydro Heist.

This newest video from MoveForwardBC.ca exposes the absurd choices that have been made in the sell-off of BC Hydro: from privatizing one-third of operations to Accenture (implicated in the Enron scandal) to allowing mega corporations like General Electric to own private dams on the Toba River system.
