Some great quotes from an article in the Vancouver Observer:
“If a mine that, by its very design, will destroy a mountain that's home to the largest population of charismatic ungulate species in the world – a mine that by its very design will bury pristine alpine lakes with tailings, the toxicity of which eventually will leak into the headwaters – what exactly would it take to fail an environmental assessment?”
I'm fighting because it's in my backyard – of course I am – if those of us whose lives and homes and places where we raise our kids don't fight for those places, where else are we supposed to fight for?”
