Das BC Court lehnt die Herausforderung der First Nations ab, um den Damm Level des Mount Polley Tailings zu erhöhen

Relevant: Due to the Indian Act governance system – Canadian law – the environmental standards companies and industry have to follow are lower around a reserve than they are around a municipality. Why? Because First Nations are under federal jurisidiction. However, under the normal Canadian system, if you have problem with water quality, for example, you sue your municipality first, then the province , then the feds. So the feds have the lowest standards. This is why industry can poison First Nations without being punished and why First Nations often have to resort to protests to create political action.
