British Columbia is being turned into an industrial park by the federal government of Canada and favored corporations that deal in the extraction of mineral resources on many fronts. These policies endanger both the ecological integrity of the land and water as well as the good health of citizens today and for years to come and thus have been met by much resistance from First Nations and settler communities while typically being under-reported by the mainstream media. Thanks for this as-it-happens snapshot and report from the Secwepemc Checkpoint.
Note: One of the reasons Imperial Metals may not be addressing the Mount Polley clean-up - aside from friends in high places - is that it has been reported that the company is scandalously under-insured for environmental catastrophe. See the BC-based Common Sense Canadian for further ongoing coverage of developments online.
