This past weekend - TNG Tribal Chair Joe Alphonse went after Taseko Mines over lack of an Impact Benefit Agreement with the Esdilagh (Alexandria) First Nation which is north of McLeese Lake - read that story here
Today - both Chief Alphonse and Brian Battison were both interviewed by CBC Daybreak Kamloops over this matter as well. Listen to the interviews here
I hope that both Taseko/Esdilagh (Alexandria) First Nation is able to reach an agreement soon, but I was personally disappointed with the tone of the interviews on CBC today. We need to work together and get away from this "us vs them" position...
