What must be considered is the economic impact over time. Presently, people Come from near and far to fish the river. I’ve meet people from all over the US and even some from Europe.
The mine puts this all at risk.
The river will be an economic impact for hundreds of years, the mine, maybe 30.
And then there is the cleanup which based on Alberta’s history will be shovelled onto the taxpayer.
Short term thinking and exploitation destroying long term economic benefit.
