#FreeGrassy #GrassyNarrows
Canadian governments have poured $63M in subsidies into mineral exploration on Grassy Narrows territory, helping Kinross Gold push a project that threatens the Wabigoon River. Tax breaks for investors are undermining Indigenous rights and local waters while the province collects little in return.

Excellent article, with excellent comments from Nikki Skuce.
“Our critical minerals strategy is full of so many holes,” Skuce said. “It’s just being used as a tool to push for more mining, whether it’s for gold to sit in the basement of a bank or a rare earth element to be used in an F-35.”

The Trump administration recently bought stakes in two Vancouver mining companies and has shown interest in a project north of Prince George.
How the materials would be used is unclear — but it’s unlikely to be green energy.

NEW: When Kyrgyzstan seized a Canadian-run gold mine over toxic dumping and unpaid taxes, Ottawa dismissed the concerns as a "pretext" for nationalization. Newly obtained documents show Canada’s real priority: shielding corporate assets, not the environment.
