The fact is TSKLH supports responsible resource development, as evidenced by its history. Among the errors: TSKLH did not go to court to stop the KSM mine. They took B.C.’s government to court for failure to properly consult on impacts of the 52-storey-deep toxic waste pond planned for construction near their traditional waterways.

It should be noted that provincial superior court (not federal) Justice Emily Burke (who is not a man as the article states) did not rule the mine be halted. Indeed, Seabridge has stated they are moving full-steam ahead. The judge’s ruling had nothing to do with DRIPA. It was based on the Canadian Constitution and it was binding on the province, not Seabridge.

So great to see people pulling together in a multi-pronged approach, working to turn the tide on predatory infill and the zoning bylaw. Between restrictive covenants, pending potential legal action(s), and a concerted lobbying effort to seek intervention by the province, people are finding their voice and their power. It’s great to see unity. It restores my faith in democracy.
