“I am embarrassed that Hydro-Quebec still does not support the West Island. It is important that they address this issue and provide an explanation,” he wrote in a tweet, along with a photo of a Hydro-Quebec map that only shows the situation in west Montreal.

Soon, people began reacting on Twitter, reminding them that other sectors were also affected by outages and that the Crown corporation prioritized outages that affected the largest number of customers.

However, you should be aware that areas with more vegetation are more affected by interruptions, which may explain why they seem to progress more slowly than other areas.

“No field has been forgotten. The west of the island has not been forgotten,” said Hydro-Québec spokesperson Maxence Huard-Lefebvre.
