Note générale
"With the animosity still festering, the two Liberal chieftains clashed again over hydroelectricity sales to the United States. As a result of a negotiated settlement with the Quebec power companies, the province now had surplus power for sale and a ready market in New York State. The catch was that exports of hydroelectricity required federal approval. King's government denied Ontario's request, citing historical precedent. Hepburn was enraged and said so publicly." [1]
