FYI - Quebecor is also a major shareholder and customer of Abitibi 
Consolidated, the Montreal-based corporation which has been responsible for 
much of the clearcutting in Grassy Narrows.  Please come out and show your 
support for the struggles of the Quebecor workers, as well as of the 
community of Grassy Narrows.
