The Sisson Mine shakedown: The myth of a mine to save New Brunswick
The story of the Sisson Mine development starts dramatically. As it
unfolds it includes promises of riches and jobs, the backstory of a
longstanding myth, demonstrations of government incompetence and lax
regulatory oversight, and fierce resistance by Indigenous and settler
community allies. The story ending is not yet complete but promises to
be spectacular: a possible shakedown by mining corporations for hundreds
of millions of taxpayer dollars.
