Canada: Family Farm Expropriated for Gold Mine

Canada: Family Farm Expropriated for Gold Mine

July 11th, 2012

Via: Chronicle Herald:

Last week, Natural Resources Minister Charlie Parker made a clear choice about the kind of business Nova Scotia really supports. Rather than defend the rights and interests of a Nova Scotian family business, he sided instead with DDV Gold, a subsidiary of Australian company Atlantic Gold, granting the mining company vesting orders and thus ownership of 14 parcels of land in Moose River Gold Mines.

Some of that belongs — or rather belonged — to the Higgins family that had refused to sell any land, pointing out that they run a successful and sustainable business (providing five full-time jobs and 25 seasonal ones) producing Christmas trees on land that has been in the family for generations.

    Like every other form of justice, “property rights” takes 2 forms: one for our corporate overlords, and one for the rest of us.
