Seas of the Atlantic
editJames Bay and Hudson Bay both the Seas of the Atlantic Category but are technically a part of the Arctic ocean. Jcmiller 16:58, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
Where do you get that? Looking at currents, islands, etc. Hudson Bay seems more closely linked to the Atlantic. The article in Wikipedia claims Hudson Bay is part of the Atlantic. Alanbrowne (talk) 20:03, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
Assessment
editI have assessed this as Start Class, as it contains more detail and organization than would be expected of a Stub, and of mid importance, as I do feel that the subject of this article plays a strong role in the understanding of Canada. Cheers, CP 01:12, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
Information Conflict with Akimiski Island
editThis page indicates Akimiski Island has 3400 people while the page for Akimiski Island says it's currently uninhabited. Which is it? mtffm (talk) 15:00, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
Bias
editIt seems a bit backward to say that "James Bay has returned to prominence in recent decades due to the James Bay hydroelectric project". What kind of prominence, and in the eyes of whom? I'm sure it has been consistently prominent in the eyes of the people living there, to whom the damming of the rivers that have supported their cultures for tens of thousands of years is quite painful, and something that is mourned rather than celebrated.
Economic development
James Bay has returned to prominence in recent decades due to the James Bay hydroelectric project. Since 1971, the government of Quebec has built hydroelectric dams on rivers in the James Bay watershed, notably La Grande and Eastmain rivers. Built between 1974 and 1996, La Grande Complexe now has a combined generating capacity of 16,021 MW and produces about 83,000,000,000 kWh of electricity each year, about half of Quebec's consumption. Power is also exported to the United States via a direct transmission high voltage line. The James Bay Project continues to expand, with work beginning in 2010 on a new phase that involves the diversion of the Rupert River.

- Right. That whole sentence is vague and pointless. -- P 1 9 9 • TALK 19:54, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
Better map
editIt was not clear to me, where on the planet James Bay is located, after watching the photos on this page. 86.22.65.222 (talk) 12:08, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
