That riding, and anything downstream in the old man watershed. Before the last election, mining exploration was stopped and assurances were given that the water supply wouldn't be put in jeopardy.

Jump to last week, when the resources minister says that the grassy project will be grandfathered in and proceed. Rural people are old school, and a combination of endangering their livelihood as well as straight up lying to get elected, isn't sitting well.
