Montreal -- Quebec provincial police are investigating suspicious material found near a damaged hydroelectric tower that carries power to the United
States.
A spokesman for the S�ret� du Qu�bec said yesterday that the site in Saint-Herm�n�gilde, 15 kilometres from the U.S. border, was secured by explosives
experts and the substances are being analyzed.
The investigation has been referred to the force's terrorism unit, police said.

FYI, Quebec has massive hydro-electric developments in the northern part of the Province and supplies substantial amounts of electricity to the US
North East.
Attacking the power grid is one type of attack that we fear, due to its vulnerability and virtual impossibility of guarding. Its not clear why a
single isolated attack would be made, unless its a trial effort.
