I read. Acid generating rock, PAG, can continue to release toxins for 60 years. This is catastrophic, not merely a breach as they put it. This is not possible to clean up.
Now they say, the mine is not acid generating. Then, why are the fish losing their skin and fish are dying?
Many Canadians say. The deregulation of Safety Standards and Environmental Standards, shortage of staff and disregarding warnings, is all about greed. The mine Barons are just as greedy as, Harper’s oil and gas Barons. Anything to save a buck and to hell with the people, who will suffer that greed. That is? If foreigners aren’t being given your resource jobs?
