I don't see all your posts, but I appreciate all that I do see. This planet is screwed. I want you to know that you are not alone in how you feel. Thank you for your efforts to expose the daily destruction of this beautiful planet we call home.

"As of Friday, 8 August 2014, a "slurry of toxic water and mud" continued to pour into the once pristine Quesnel Lake, the cleanest deep water lake in the world."

Should say "once" the cleanest deep water lake in the world.

Cleanup will cost billions, and won't be effective anyway. Maybe Canada can jail some of these assholes, but I know in the US it would never happen. Here the mining corp would just declare bankruptcy and walk away, later to reform under a new name. You know, just like "regular" people. WTF!
