Canadian Government Plays Russian Roulette With U.S. River

I caught this beautiful bull trout in the North Fork of the Flathead in Canada last July. The water was so clear I could spot trout finning in almost every single pool. These big bulls run all the way up from Flathead Lake to spawn in shallow feeder creeks in the river's headwaters.

thank you for the stunning photo essay on the north fork of the flathead river. ten of us will be rafting here this august north of polebridge. an extraordinary and totally unacceptable travesty that greed, ignorance, and crass immoral power can potentially destroy a pristine, irreplacable ecosys-tem. and the rest of us can do nothing? i think not! pathetic politically that the british columbia gov't. can be bribed and bought off by the likes of cline + japan and germany; & china doesn't need the coal!

Here's a question I bet you never thought you'd have to ask. Should a Canadian mining company with German and Japanese financial backing be allowed to pollute one of our finest trout streams so that it can ship low-quality coal to China?

The powers-that-be in British Columbia are on the verge of allowing a huge mining operation in the headwaters of the North Fork of the Flathead River, despite strong objections from the State of Montana and despite the fact that the U.S./Canadian Boundary Waters Treaty prohibits the pollution of streams or rivers that flow across our common border with Canada.
