Oil Exploration on Anticosti Island

Since 2001, Hydro-Quebec is doing oil exploration on Anticosti Island. Seven years later, they did not find anything. In 2008, the private oil producer Petrolia agreed to continue the funds that Québec will receive if Hydro-Quebec and oil exploration and oil are found. Petrolia will discover $ 75 billion oil and Quebec will receive a small amount of $ 2.3 billion oil. In addition to the two national parks, Petrolea has the right to extract oil all over the island. To make a profit in a short period of time, you should try to break a vulnerable and unique ecosystem.

Cartier sailed with two vessels and 61 crew members in April 1534 and arrived 20 days later. On his first expedition, he explored the West Coast of Newfoundland and the St. Lawrence Bay and called it the Assimption until today's Anticosti Island. He also received high praise by finding what is now called Prince Edward Island. Cartier took two native Americans from the Gaspe Peninsula and returned to King Francis for the expedition report. In the second year, the King sent Cartier to the Atlantic Ocean, three ships and 110 crew members. As the two prisoners served as guides, the explorers went to Quebec toward the St. Lawrence River where they set up a base camp.

A couple of weeks later, Cartier, who arrived in North America, discovered Prince Edward Island while exploring the West Coast of Newfoundland and explored the St. Lawrence Bay up to Anticosti Island. After occupying two Indians on the Gaspe Peninsula, he returned to France.
