Piikani conservation leader Trevor Bastien launches legal action to assert First Nation treaty and constitutional rights to a safe, healthful fishery in the Crowsnest River system
Excellent! Then we can really dive into the science of selenium! And how despite many attempts, a province wide water quality system has never been established. It's been attempted, but it keeps getting shut down.
We will at last be able to assess not only Crowsnest Lake, but Island Lake above it (mysteriously ignored by Cooke), and many other lakes and rivers on the Eastern Slopes. We will be able to determine what is background Se, and what is man-made.
But not only that, for once we'll see water quality data for the agriculture areas, the removal of water from traditional lands of the Piikani by the Oldman Reservoir and the Lethbridge Northern Irrigation District.
We will see the massive amount of chemicals poured onto our lands, once pristine grasslands, now covered in fences and monoculture. Fertilizers, weed killers, cow manure.
We might finally see all industries being held to the same standards as we expect from mines.
So happy to see this and I definitely support this. I hope you drag the federal government into this as we all know smith will just dismiss this. This is why she wants to control who gets appointed as judges

Bring it on.

If a company as Teck couldn't do it, no one else will be able to. This is a complete smokescreen by the mining companies and provincial governments.
Yes! Let them prove their "new" approaches to prevent selenium poisoning by rehabilitating something first.
