US EditionLegacy Isn’t Just About Impact. It’s Also About People
- Andrew Furey, premier of Newfoundland and Labrador, is leaving office today on May 2, 2025, after announcing a new draft energy agreement with Quebec.
- Furey announced the draft in December, aiming to terminate a 1969 contract that allowed Hydro-Québec to buy Labrador energy at very low prices, a deal long resented locally.
- More than 80 emails sent to Furey in the weeks after the announcement reveal public engagement, with half praising the move and others asking for independent reviews and job assurances for Labradorians.
- The 1969 deal yielded nearly $28 billion to Quebec and about $2 billion to Newfoundland and Labrador by 2019, while the new draft would bring approximately $225 billion over 50 years and involve co-development of new hydro projects.
- Furey’s departure amid this energy agreement suggests a lasting legacy for ending the lopsided deal, though public calls for scrutiny and Labrador job protections indicate ongoing local concerns.
