    You guys might be interested in some of the stories around Louis Riel and his battles against the HBC/Canadian government. The town I grew up in wasn't a company town but it definitely started out as an HBC trading post and evolved past that due to its logistical positioning at the forking of a couple rivers.
    The mining and forestry industries continue to evolve both in labour and environmental standards. Canada is a leader in many aspects but there is always room for improvement.

    Something I've thought about for the near-future is somehow living in a more community-based way (similar to the company town).

    Now the idea of the "company town" definitely rubs me the wrong way because it's some big corporation wanting things a certain way, but I think a more community-based way of living might have some merits, I just wish it didn't feel impossible to me. It just seems like it would take so many people.
