Exploration Company Pushes Back

‘Exploration Company Pushes
Back’
The race-based ‘parallel government’ structure that our courts
and aboriginal leadership are imposing on Canada has screwed
around yet another mining company, and they’re fighting back:
“Mineral exploration firm ‘Doubleview Capital Corp.’ is suing
Chad Norman Day, the president of the ‘Tahltan Central
Government’, and others for…unlawfully blocking the company’s
drilling and sampling work at its ‘Hat Property’, about 200
kilometres south of Atlin, B.C.
“Doubleview filed a notice of civil claim in BC Supreme Court
on September 8, naming Day and other unknown persons as
defendants who are…
“impeding exploration on the Hat Property”.
“The company claims it started drilling, core logging, cutting
and sampling work at the property, which has no road access,
“to determine if copper and gold exist in amounts sufficient
to support a mining operation.”
“On July 7, Doubleview claims Day and others arrived at the
property in a helicopter to shut down the work. The drilling
was being carried out by non-party ‘Tahltan Drilling Services
Ltd.’, and Day allegedly met with all Tahltan workers, who
stopped drilling after meeting with Day and other blockaders
calling themselves “Tahltan representative elders”.
“Day and two others… refused to leave the property
“until they were satisfied that drilling had ceased and
threatened they intend to continue to trespass if drilling
proceeds”, the claim states.
“From about July 7, 2015, to the present time, the defendants
by blockading and threatening future blockades have
interfered with plaintiff’s, and their contractors’ and
employees’, use and enjoyment of the Hat Property”.
“Doubleview further claims that the blockade was a means to
cause the British Columbia government to negotiate with the
Tahltan ‘First Nation’.
“The company seeks an injunction to restrain and prohibit
present and future blockades, and damages for trespass,
nuisance, inducing breach of contract, intentional
interference with economic interests, INTIMIDATION and
CONSPIRACY…”

“Farshad Shirvani,
Doubleview President and CEO, commented
“Doubleview was issued a five-year exploration and drilling
permit by the Ministry of Mines and Energy after meeting the
requirements for consultation with ‘First Nations’.
“We have dealt respectfully with the Tahltan ‘Nation’ ever
since we commenced first-ever drilling at the Hat in 2013.
Exploration in this district has been carried out for more
than half a century and ‘Tahltan Drilling Services’ has been
contracted for all of Doubleview’s drilling to date.
“Our aim is to resume drilling as quickly as possible…”

And
then,
of
course, there’s this:
“The Tahltans are not the only tribal group with claims to the
area. The Taku River Tlingit ‘First Nation’ has an extensive
land-use plan negotiated with the provincial government that
includes the Sheslay river and valley.
“That plan shows at least part of the area open to some
development. Taku Tlingit leaders could not be immediately
reached for comment.
“The British Columbia’s Ministry of Mines issued Doubleview an
exploration permit about three years ago. The agency says that
came after consulting with the Tahltan and Taku ‘First
Nations’.”

mining blockade, in 2013

And from earlier this year:
‘B.C. government buys coal licences to stop mining dispute’
“The B.C. government has devised a ‘unique’ solution to head
off conflict between a ‘First Nations’ community and the
developers of a proposed a coal mine, using its Crown
corporation ‘BC Rail’ to buy and hold coal licences during
talks with the Tahltan ‘Nation’ on managing the resource.
“The province is paying $18.3-million to buy 61 licences from
‘Fortune Minerals Ltd.’ and ‘POSCO Canada Ltd.’, in a region
dubbed the Sacred Headwaters in northwest British Columbia.
“The province essentially will hold the coal licences in
trust, while working with the Tahltan on a government-togovernment discussion of how to manage development in the
region.
“The companies will be able to buy back the assets at their
original price if they reach an agreement with the Tahltan in
the next 10 years…
{And if not, the taxpayers are out another 18 million,
courtesy of race based law.}
“Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett said the Tahltan
Nation now have a veto over development of those 61 coal
licences, which he described as a “beautiful” solution to an
otherwise inevitable conflict.
{What an idiot! Even the Supreme Court has said that ‘Consult
and Accommodate’ does NOT mean aboriginal bands have a veto
over resource projects…}
“Mr. Bennett defended the use of taxpayers’ dollars to reach
a resolution, saying he fully expected the companies would sue
the Crown if they could not open a mine and develop their coal
licences…
{So, we can now expect this ‘solution’ every time that
aboriginals veto a resource project? That’s not a ‘solution’…}

The
Tahltan
leadership seem to just love setting up blockades. From 2014:
“A group of Tahltan elders has set up a roadblock on Highway
51 between Dease Lake and Telegraph Creek in an attempt to
limit moose hunting in their territory.
“Anyone wishing to use the road is being asked to obtain
‘permission’ from the Tahltan Band Office.
“Those that don’t receive permission, particularly non-Tahltan
hunters {That’s overt discrimination – contrary to the
Canadian Human Rights Act}, may be stopped…”

And for those who think this is all because B.C. doesn’t have
treaties, think again. The same backwardness is going on in
treaty-covered Ontario:
‘Shakedown’ (Northern Superior Sues Ontario over ‘Consult and
Accommodate’)
