Yankees go home Leave mine alone — -MLA THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT shouldn’t agree to an international review of a planned mine in the far northwestern part of the province, says Skeena NDP MLA Helmut Giesbrecht. In a letter to foreign affairs minister .. Lloyd Axworthy, Giesbrecht said Canada should deny the request by the Alaskan government to have the International Joint Commission review the Tulsequah Chief copper and gold mine project, - The planned mine is the Taku River states whether it is on Pacific salmon or _ watershed which flows into U.S. territory .- a8 it exits into the Pacific Ocean. It has been given an all-around approval by the provincial government, subject to permitting. - But the Americans are worried about the effects of acid rock drainage on Taku sal- mon stocks. They’ve been joined by Canadian en- vironmental and native groups. “Canada should defend our right to make our own use decisions and outside in- terference is unacceptable,’’? wrote Gies- brecht to Axworthy. He said 400 construction jobs and 200 mine jobs are at risk. “British Columbia has been unable to get fair deals with the bordering American softwood lumber exports and the gencral perception is that our federal government is too weak when it comes to dealing with the US,,”’ Giesbrecht continued. He added that any new investment can’t be lost given the impacts the downturn in the Pacific Rim economy is having on B.C, The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, September 30, 1998 - A9 Helmut Giesbrecht New channels flood airwaves * CABLE TELEVISION watchers will enjoy a limited free viewing period of new channels beginning tomorrow.
