So corrupt. Remember when John Horgan retired and went straight to the board of Teck Coal? The NDP is run by corporations for their own interests. thenarwhal.ca/bc-teck-lobb...

After four days at a mining conference with 27,000 people, @fatimabsyed.bsky.social breaks down the buzz around Ontario’s plan to fast-track mine approvals, and why some people still have questions. thenarwhal.ca/ontario-1p1p...

📰 In the news: B.C. government unveils plan to fast-track mine approvals. The new process could shorten environmental assessments for large projects under the Infrastructure Projects Act (Bill 15). 🧵(1/5)

This infiltration & surveillance of Dene leaders in the 70s is shocking but not surprising. In our book, we highlight the role of the Dene Nation (then Indian Brotherhood) in fighting pollution of Yellowknife by Giant Mine arsenic emissions in this same period. www.cbc.ca/news/indigen...

Fascinating look at the tangled legacies of colonialism. DRC wants colonial-era geological surveys so a Bill Gates-backed mining/AI firm can digitize them. The Belgian museum won't release them as it's already doing so. Trump II is now applying pressure as part of its resource grab. No good guys.

Getting #PDAC ready with @mininginjustice.bsky.social (MISN) at their teach-in and art build. Join MISN's #MiningIsNotTheFuture rally next Sunday, March 1 at 1pm at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre!

Help MISN support land defenders! We are looking for donations to our impacted community fund to support mining impacted communities globally.

The BC government considered "fast-tracking" the northern BC mine where three miners are currently trapped underground. Premier David Eby listed the mine’s underground expansion under Bill 15, the province's controversial new law to override regulations because of Trump's tariff war.

Great to see our own Caitlynn Beckett on this list!

It was MINING & ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE week in my Canadian #envhist seminar today. Below is a short thread about what we read and watched ⛏️⚖️🧵

Really looking forward to this.
