Officials in #SouthDakota are pushing hard to build #Trump‘s proposed National Garden of American Heroes in the #BlackHills near #MountRushmore, but the effort has sparked a backlash from #Indigenous groups who see the area as #sacred.

A #mining company has offered to donate 40 acres (16 hectares) less than a mile from Mount Rushmore, where massive sculptures of 4 of the nation’s most prominent presidents are carved out of granite.

A conversation with #Alberta country singer and songwriter Corb Lund, who has found himself at the centre of the debate around Alberta’s #coal #policy - and the concern over coal #mining along the eastern slopes of the Rocky #Mountains. There was a pretty packed and raucous town hall meeting recently in #FortMacleod where the premier and three cabinet ministers heard an earful from worried and angry residents.

Doug Ford says he treats First Nations 'like gold' but they 'keep coming hat in hand'
Ontario Premier Doug Ford says he is willing to give First Nations what they want for their support in developing mines, but they cannot "keep coming hat in hand all the time to the government" for more money.

#Copper #Mining and Vehicle Electrification | IEF Report

"To meet ... trends, 115% more copper must be mined in the next 30 years than has been mined historically until now. To electrify the global vehicle fleet requires bringing into production 55% more new mines than would otherwise be needed. On the other hand, hybrid electric vehicle manufacture would require negligible extra copper mining." #geology

Is #MurrayWatt a mining executive? Certainly doesn’t appear to be an Environment Minister.
Between this and his quick approval of the North West Shelf, it certainly seems that way.
How about taking a sound moral stance and doing what’s right here for the environment and the people, instead of sucking up to your employers?
