APTN news never ceases to amaze me with truth. This is what true journalism is supposed to be. Hard investigative work by journalists not afraid to find truth. Well done.
Such a travesty in a land of beauty. If this occurred in the south there’d be so much attention given to the situation. Because the Yukon is so remote there’s little urgency placed on this incident. We must NEVER allow this to occur again. There must be accountability by the mining company and the Yukon Govt that is LASTING. All Yukoner’s need to stand fully united to ensure this never happens again.
If this was how oil and gas operations were operated there’d be absolute hell to pay, as there should be. Why does the mining industry get away with it? Because most people aren’t seeing it on mainstream media. Oil and gas is vilified while other industries that have a deplorable record are ignored.
You have no clue to the regulations mining is put under. And when an incident like this happens due to mine regulators letting things go the whole industry feels the impact. Try getting a basic gravel pit permit in bc
@@ChrisHaggar I know enough about surface land to know that if you follow the rules and operate responsibly you’re far more likely to not succeed. I’ve watched while known caribou gathering areas were wiped off the map by big mining companies while in other instances permits to pitch a tent were denied because somebody heard a rumour that a caribou was seen in the area once by somebody’s grandpa. Something about things like that smell funny but of course nobody can ever prove anything. There are those who can massage things through the system that should never be allowed and they seem quite expert at staying a whisper within the rules while others make sure to go above and beyond always. I’ve seen land taken out of the ALR that had previously been denied for a proposal to build a rodeo ground in unused scrub land, unsuitable for anything but grazing but then somebody else came along with a proposal that was absolutely anything BUT agricultural in nature and through some convenient business relationships approval was granted and now there are rail sidings and heavy industrial development there. The money and the executive team behind that mining company obviously knew how to get out of Dodge when the trouble started and managed to cut ties and leave the mess in the hands of the people of Yukon. In Alberta and probably other provinces the oil and gas companies have what’s set up to be a Licensee Liability Rating to calculate a value for how much money they need to have as a deposit with the government regulator in case of the failure to meet their cleanup obligations. Does mining have something similar, especially in Yukon? That would certainly help to prevent companies walking away like that.
@@AuntyKsTarot I’m not saying companies are not to blame but in all truth groups don’t care as long as the royalties are flowing and then when an incident happens it’s shame the industry rather than the people that looked away. Many times mines inspectors give orders and just leave it as is until the incident happens same with the other groups where royalties are paid look the other way until something happens then cry foul. I’ve been in the industry my whole life grew up in faro watched that whole mine life and boils down to regulators not doing there job and making sure companies do the right thing. I’ve done permits for quarries and the bond that has to be put in place is so small to the actual cost of reclaim. But hey I’m just a spectator watching the tears. Have u looked at the water samples it’s a whole lot of bs to what’s actually going on
That job site had more drugs and alcohol then safety regulations I'm a heavy equipment operator and know guys who worked there and they said all the safety infractions were not reported
Gold is the Circuitry of every electronic from Screens to phones to air pods, even the dashboard of most basic truck or car. Mindful consumption at the consumer level and increased public demand of higher and consistently enforced standards has shown benefits in reducing child &slave labour in Silica and Coco farming and reducing deforestation in the Palm Oil Industry. Change may seem impossible and ineffectual but it has happened and can continue to happen with diligence, perseverance and faith that what you are doing matters.
so, l am trying to understand this breach...we see this bulldozer down the slope half buried...and the operator speaks of how he was swept downhill by the breach...my question is...was the breach triggered by whatever the bulldozer and operator were doing at the time...? it needs to be fully explained...

Wow talk about ignorant. Do you have any idea how much damage oil and gas also do?

Keep sharing with people who will share.
Most disturbing is this isn't the first time this type of thing in this industry.

There hasn’t been a single mine in northern Canada to close successfully
