Key paragraph-"The point of these jailings, McKay argues, is a two-fold political
message. One, to the mining companies – the mineral wealth of the north
is open to access and the government will clear any indigenous
resistance out of the way. These include giants like the De Beers
diamond company, which is operating in the north around the James Bay.
Two, to the indigenous – that any resistance against the latest bonanza
of extraction and destruction will be met with criminalization and
brutal penalties. McKay also suggests that these mining companies might
be looking, not for platinum or uranium, but for a government payoff
"if the Ontario government effectively pays it to go away. If this
occurs, then it will be Ontario taxpayers who end up being mined for
millions. not uranium or platinum deposits."But for Ontario's Mining Act, we wouldn't be in this quagmire.Ontario
pays.
