Factures d’Hydro-Québec impayées : Lafrenière réagit

In Quebec, a woman named Marjolaine Lafrenière who is of Indigenous descent received exorbitant electricity bills from Hydro-Québec. The bills amounted to thousands of dollars for electricity consumption over a two-month period. After media coverage, Hydro-Québec reassessed the bills and determined that there was an error in the meter reading. The company apologized and waived the bills, citing a technical problem as the cause of the error.
