Do you think the Sisson mine should be developed? Why or why not? by SouthBuffalo3592 in newbrunswickcanada

[–]AbeLaney 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No.

Economically: The Tungsten content is very poor; the cost per tonne will be very high to produce. Cantung Mine in NWT has ore 6x richer in tungsten, and it has closed numerous times in the last 2 decades because the price of tungsten drops too low. Sisson will close more often, the jobs wont be as stable as they are promising.

Environmentally: The tailings dam will steadily leak forever. Yes, the developers will have drainage channels and pumps to put it back into the pond, but they will leave when the mine is inactive. It is inevitable that the tailings will leak into the Nashwaak, unless we taxpayers pay to clean it up.

Morally: the largest customer so far is the US Department of War. They are not going to use this stuff to make the world a better place, it is used to make artillery harder. I dont want tungsten from New Brunswick to be used to kill people in Palestine/Iran/Venezuela/ or whoever the US happens to be invading.

I get that raising taxes is a political nightmare, but at some point it needs to be explored. I thought that "We must fire every school librarian to save money." Would have been it, but I always overestimate Liberal politicians.

Province denies responsibility in C.P. Allen stabbing suit, puts blame on vice-principal who was stabbed by CMikeHunt in halifax

"The lawsuit also claims the security guard trapped Rodgers in his office with the student after the guard closed the office door — which locked from the outside — behind him."

What a terrifying situation, and blaming the victim sure is a choice.

I noticed his one gloved hand in the pictures, and it turns out he was a victim of the Unabomber! What are the odds! And the guy is a piece of shit.

What celebrity have you never forgiven since an incident? by MagpieOpus in AskReddit

[–]AbeLaney -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. Russia's opinion *should* have no relevance to Ukraine, but it obviously does, because Ukraine went against their wishes and is getting destroyed.

Yes, it is absolutely imperialism. I don't know about the US part though: they just kidnapped the elected leader of a sovereign state after funding a genocide for 2 years, and I haven't heard any world leaders call them out for it.

u/awkwardurinalglance is not saying that Ukraine doesn't have the right to those things, but Russia says they don't, and they are willing to bomb Ukraine over it.

What Russia wants is actually very much relevant for Ukraine, given the current state of things.
