The collapse of the Mount Polley tailings dam in 2014 was one of the worst mining disasters in Canada. The dam failure sent hundreds of tonnes of toxic materials, including arsenic, lead, copper and nickel, into Quesnel Lake. More than a decade later, Imperial Metals Corp has been charged in BC Supreme Court with 15 violations of the federal Fisheries Act. We speak with Jamie Kneen, Canada program co-lead for Mining Watch Canada.

This week, Eleanor Goldfield digs into mining - past and present. First, author and organizer Mitch Troutman discusses his latest book, The Bootleg Coal Rebellion: The Pennsylvania Miners who Seized an Industry. Mitch shares the importance of remembering and sharing a radical past, as he puts it: nothing was ever inevitable and that history is taught best when it gives us agency in the present. He also explains the role of media in uplifting the miner's struggle, something more difficult to recognize in today's media landscape. Next, Eleanor talks with Jamie Kneen from Mining Watch to discuss the fallacy of green growth vis a vis lithium - a metal that many are saddling with utopian hopes for the future while the reality screams of neocolonialist extraction in line with other precious metals in a global capitalist market. Kneen highlights the importance of scale in discussing a livable future as well as the dirty fallout from lithium mining.

Without having consulted the Mi'kmaq people who have used the lands over centuries, a mammoth gold mine is being developed in the Valentine Lake area of central Newfoundland. Jamie Kneen, the Communications and Outreach Coordinator for MiningWatch Canada, discusses the potential environmental risks the development could have on the surrounding ecosystems. Of particular concern is the potential impact to the watershed of central and northeastern Newfoundland due to the use of an ore processing technique called "heap leaching"—a low-cost but controversial process because of its role in mine accidents elsewhere.

As a conflict fueled by climate change, the international arms trade and a Libyan civil war enters its fifth year, Canada's Back™ and as many as 250 members of the Canadian military will see action in the northwest African nation of Mali by late summer. But is there a connection between seemingly selfless international peacekeeping involvement and Canadian gold mining investment? On this episode, Jamie Kneen of MiningWatch Canada and host Andre Goulet explore Canada's out-sized role in the international mining industry and examine the myths and contradictions of Canadian peacekeeping. Plus: how Bill C-69, the Liberal government's attempt at federal environmental review process reform, fails to deliver on promises of respect for Indigenous rights, evidence-based decision-making and combating climate change. This conversation was recorded on May 16th, 2018.
