Mining must snicker under the sheets at night about how much crap is directed at them vs oilpatch when mining is the true pig of the environment.
This is a BC disaster from a company run by people from BC whose profits go largely to BC and sanctioned by the BC government. We have enough actual crap in the province so don't be plopping your crap in our yard.
Edwards does not seem to appear on the board of directors of the company. Largely old white UBC grads.

Also, there is plenty to dislike Edwards over, such as being a meddling owner of the Flames or this disaster that he would have a lot more involvement in.

If you are going to pin a disaster on Edwards, get the right one. |
I was going to make this post, and saw it was already here.
1) No way Murray Edwards was involved in the decisions that led to this. He is involved at CNRL, but no way he has time for design decisions on a mine.
2) The conversation society should be having is what caused this, and what industry practices and government regulations can prevent it from happening again.
