I think its not only the rich and powerfull resisting the flathead mine and parks. The rest of us working class people love the area for what it is. I dont know if youve noticed anti flathead parks and mine stickers, and besides how many poor people do you think would actually be able to work there due to various circumstances. The unfortunate part is that most of the poor are usually unskilled in the areas needed. I dont know too much about the mine proposal but it seems like the americans are putting up the fight, so how far would it be away from thier border? Really the bottom line is we cant always take everything for its resources, no matter how much money will be made because i know it wont be me making the millions off of the mine or any of the poor or average joe in the area.
