No, you make it sound that way. I said some is worthy of preservation and probably will be in my estimation. The areal extent of known mineral deposits is trivial relative to the region and there is clearly room for both.

Parks are one way that environmental, First Nation and community concerns are mollified during negotiation of permits for resource projects.

The runoff and salmon issue, particularly with Alaska is likely separate. I don't have particular downstream concerns, but I'm not an Alaska voter. I wonder how important a mine in NW BC would be to the Federal government if the US bundles the issue in the IJC? Alaska gets nothing from SC except the perception of pollution. Sound familiar? Keystone XL for example?
