Lakes across Canada face being turned into mine dump sites - CBC
“Once they do the mine, they’re going to leave, and we’re the people who are going to live with that. Not me, but my grandchildren, the small little kids like this. That’s who’s going to live with the pollution.”
I don’t know how this could possibly sound like a remotely good idea to anyone. The quote above is from a resident of an area that would be directly affected by dumping, and it’s true. Once your water is screwed up, everything else will naturally follow suit. Why is this not front and center on every news website in Canada?

The same reason the destruction of the wetlands and marshes here in Louisiana by the government isn’t on the news.

Hi Chad,
I caught your post about Canadian lakes being turned into dumps and I
thought I’d drop you a line. My name is Thom Duggan and I’m one of the many Canadians working to end this backward plan. So, I just wanted to say hi and thank you, for one.
One of the ways we’re going to be trying to keep Canadians involved
and informed on this issue is though the blogging circles in Canada.
I’d like it if you’d agree to join our “blogcorps”. It’s mostly just a
special list that we’d keep of bloggers, like yourself, who would like
updates and alerts about the issue from time to time (no
coverage-obligation, of course). Some bloggers have signaled that they
want to get involved more deeply in the campaign, and that’s great
too.
If you’d like some background information even now on the issue, I can
send you a few things. Or if you’d like to get in touch with someone
from the campaign, either nationally or in your general area, we’ll be
able to do that stuff, too (we have a webpage coming soon that will
bring local citizens, bloggers, scientists, and activists
together…more on that later).
We’ve been blown away by the response online; thanks for being a part
of that. Would you like to receive updates from us on this in the
future?
