Home and property of Quebec oil company president vandalized

MONTREAL — A far-left activist group has claimed responsibility for vandalizing the home and property of the president and CEO of Junex Inc., an oil and gas company conducting exploratory drilling in Quebec’s Gaspesie region. Media reports revealed the Quebec City-area home of Jean-Yves Lavoie was sprayed with paint and at least one of the windows of a car on his property was smashed during the night of Nov. 16.

The group has not formally identified itself, but it ended a threatening letter claiming responsibility for the vandalism with the words, ``Quebecers against Quebec.’’
