LETER BY JOHN FEFCHAK
"In the months since Sio Silica was denied an environmental license to mine silica sand from southeastern Manitoba, the company has quietly regrouped, rebranded and begun laying the groundwork to reapply for provincial approval — starting with a push to win the support of Broken head Ojibway Nation."
The hanging sword of Damocles is upon us.
If a serious situation hangs by a thread, it means that even a change can decide what will happen and that a bad result such as death, failure, etc. is likely:
The phrase is now commonly used to describe a looming danger or precarious situation.
Has the stench of political scandal surrounding Sio Silica’s controversial quartz silica mine and processing plant doomed the project?
Remarkably, it still remains a live issue; even though it was rejected by the Kinew government in Feb. of 2024.
Even at the risk of contaminating the water aquifers for hundreds of thousand of people/ and creating massive sink holes, it is apparent that some officials are more interested and motivated in the 8000 ghost jobs that may be created in this catastrophic undertaking.
When will clearer minds prevail, to prevent this Armageddon from taking place? This is not an act of preserving and sustaining our water for the people of Manitoba.
Preserving our water sources is one of the most significant challenges facing the people of Manitoba, Canada and the world.
