The U.P. basically has honorary Canadian status anyway, so maybe this isn't so far-fetched.

There’s nothing “green” about a serious risk of polluting the largest mass of fresh water on Earth by building a copper sulfide mine right on the shore.

This is a lousy place for a copper sulfide mine - historically close to the largest body of fresh water in the world, & next to one of the biggest old-growth forests in the country.

Guys, this petition is going around to stop a devastating copper sulfide mine, on the pristine shores of Lake Superior, & right next door to one of last last old-growth forests in the country:

#LakeSuperior and the pristine wilderness in #ThePorkies are worth a lot more than whatever short-term economic gains that might be made from the proposed #CopperwoodMine project.

Copperwood’s ore grade is only 1.5%, meaning that nearly 99% of mined material will be heavy-metal laden waste rock stored on-site. Toxins of concern include mercury, arsenic, selenium, and lead. The dam would be tilted toward Lake Superior, which represents 10% of the world’s surface freshwater.

The #CopperwoodMine would be about a half mile to the left from this spot on the suspension bridge near the mouth of the Presque Isle River, & would be the closest Copper Sulfide mine to #LakeSuperior in history.

Does this look like a good place for a mine to he built next to? If not, please take the time to sign the petition at https://www.change.org/p/protect-the-porkies-cancel-the-copperwood-mine

The proposed mine would reroute Gypsy Creek and be permitted to dump half a million gallons of wastewater per day into Namebinag Creek; both creeks empty directly into Lake Superior.
