The #mining industry in #NWT has a shady history. Has it changed? Not so much. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/archived-letters-giant-arsenic-1.7545301

The EPA Will Likely Gut Team That Studies Health Risks From Chemicals

@Richard_hoperestored @NMBA @CBCNews @cbcnewsedmontonbot Agree. It’s a crying shame. From reputable, admired broadcaster to #NationalEnquirer wannabe. And why? Because #ChairmanHarper wanted so desperately to win the upcoming federal elexn he sold our soul to #Postmedia trash peddlers. He was convinced they’d seal the victory for him. Thank the lord, Cdns booted him to the curb but his #ToxicLegacy lives on.
@justinling and we have #ChairmanHarper to thank for the infiltration of toxic #FourthEstateFilth on Canadian soil. He was convinced #PostMedia would bring him the win he so desperately wanted in the upcoming election. We kicked him to the curb, but got stuck with his #ToxicLegacy.
@peterdeppisch @MayInToronto They hope they’re winning. Remember how #ChairmanHarper signed off on the #Postmedia deal, thinking the #FourthEstateFilth he brought onto Cdn soil, would ensure his victory at the polls. We kicked him to the curb anyway. Sadly, we got stuck with his #ToxicLegacy. The only thing that will defeat us and our democracy is #VoterApathy. In Ontario, the provincial elexn saw 57% of eligible voters sit it out. So 18% voted in the #CriminallyCorruptForGovernment.
Latest #con email: “Because of Trudeau, Cdns have lost trust in the integrity of the media.” says the man whose boss allowed the #Postmedia network, currently 66% owned by American media conglomerate Chatham Asset Management to pollute our soil, in the hopes of winning his elexn. Harper still lost but we’re stuck with his #ToxicLegacy.
@themamiyaman @MeanwhileinCanada @CBCNews when #ChairmanHarper signed off on the #Postmedia deal and allowed foreign corps to control our cultural assets, he ushered in #FourthEstateFilth. And he did it b/c he was so desperate to win the elexn. We kicked him to the curb but his #ToxicLegacy still pollutes our soil.
@orbitstudios @scribulatora Cdn media has joined the ranks of #FourthEstateFilth. We have #ChairmanHarper to thank. He sold Cdn cultural assets to anyone he thought could help him maintain power. We booted him to the curb but his #ToxicLegacy lives on #Postmedia
The Dirty Deadly Front End of Nuclear Power — 15,000 Abandoned Uranium Mines (Pt. 1)
by Josh Cunnings, March 11, 2016
"The perplexing problem of these open, deadly, toxic messes was discussed between Emerson Urry and Arnie Gundersen.
"Urry: I want to go back for a minute to the uranium. We were talking about Fukushima and obviously the myriad isotopes that are put off as a byproduct of the nuclear fission that is happening in the reactor. It all starts there with the uranium, and there was quite a rush for that, and now we have all of these situations. To our understanding there are about 15,000 abandoned uranium mines that have been left in complete ruin with very little cleanup or remediation at all, just in the western United States. This has happened, by-and-large, because of an antiquated mining bill – the 1872 Mining Bill – still affecting these situations today – that kind of allowed miners to just walk away from these situations — but yet, they remain in the open leaching off tailings – blowing around #radioactive dust. I think there’s about 4,500 of these exposed mining sites just in #Navajo country – another 2,500 or so in #Wyoming. How do we deal with that situation? What does the future hold in those regards, and quite frankly, are we all being poisoned by these mines?
"Gundersen: I’ll give you another example of the same thing, and I would say 'yes' to everything you said is the quick answer. There is a mill-tailings site in Moab, #Utah. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission [#NRC] told the owner of the site that they needed to set aside six million dollars to clean it up. Well, the actual #cleanup is a billion dollars. What did the owner do? They declared #bankruptcy and walked away.
"Urry: And it wasn’t bonded? No bond?
"Gundersen: Right. It wasn’t bonded. You know, if you bonded uranium mining, you wouldn’t have uranium mining."

@gemelliz It’s a den of corruption. The #FordGovernmentCorruption has reached heights only Harper achieved. #ChairmanHarper and his #ToxicLegacy live on. The #FordGovernmentRacketeering will deplete the province and its people of their wealth. Why? So Ford and his cronies and donors may enrich themselves. #Racketeers @RCMP what the heck are you waiting for?
@kneworldodor @zazzoo and the reason Harper signed off on the #postmedia deal thinking he could propagandize himself to win the upcoming election. Thankfully, Canadians recognize crap in any form and finally booted him to the curb. However, we’re stuck with his #ToxicLegacy. Harper, the face of rising fascism in the world.
@danbrotherston @LeslieMaggie @vickietorious @AlisonCreekside And #postmedia does no pushback just parrots #PoilievreLies. #FourthEstateFilth has taken root on Canadian soil Txs to Harper whose #ToxicLegacy lives on.
@prairiecentrist That was before Harper. His vile presence poisoned our land and his #ToxicLegacy lives on through #postmedia aka #FourthEstateFilth.
@captaindick12 Harper was so desperate to win the elexn, he sold out our country to American interests. We booted him to the curb but his #ToxicLegacy remains.
@barbinpei And we’re still living with his #ToxicLegacy

@coolxenu Harper’s #ToxicLegacy lives on.
@coolxenu Harper never forgave us for booting him to the curb. He’ll do anything to remain power, any way he can. The Harper #ToxicLegacy. #Postmedia oh look, belly lint.
@cykoore Harper hasn’t finished with his #ToxicLegacy. He never forgave that we booted him to the curb. He began with #Postmedia but if he has his way, he and #PPForPM are far from done.
