The #NWT follows a consensus model of #governance BUT a cabinet and a group of so-called independent MLAs undermine the effectiveness of the legislative assembly where everyone is suppose to cooperate and collaborate in governance. #nwtpoli

Diamond #mines in the #NWT are likely to follow the history of gold mines, leaving the public on the hook for costly clean-up. It is past time to make #mining companies pay. https://cabinradio.ca/290619/news/politics/what-do-ekatis-financial-troubles-mean-for-environmental-cleanup/

What this article doesn't acknowledge is that Thatcherite #MarkCarney does not value society and community. The North is screwed with this CEO-PM. https://cabinradio.ca/289706/news/yellowknife/canadas-sovereignty-and-security-depend-on-strong-communities/
#Mining companies taking resources from #SubArctic and #Arctic regions in #Canada are #corporateWelfare bums who don't pay their bills, expect public bailouts and leave #toxic messes behind. When will #nwtpoli and #cdnpoli finally stop these abuses? https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/ekati-diamond-mine-files-creditor-protection-9.7186245

Ekati Diamond Mine’s parent company has filed for creditor protection. It says global events caused the gem’s prices to fall by more than 70 per cent within a year. The filings put at risk hundreds of jobs and millions of dollars in promised payments to Indigenous communities.
Seriously?? So this #mining company wants public dollars and avoidance of #environmental laws (aka a #CarneyCons fast tracked project) to supply the US Dept of War!!! #FFS https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/fortune-minerals-defence-supply-chains-9.7185286
