Cameco's Saskatchewan Secrets Part 1

Cameco's Saskatchewan Secrets Part 1This is part one of a two-part Radioactive Show special, looking at the uranium mining industry in the north of the Canadian province, Saskatchewan. The industry is dominated by one company, Cameco, and it is omnipresent. The people of Saskatchewan have been dealing with Cameco for more than 30 years, and their story is a painful one of community divisions, illness, censorship and radioactive contamination of their lands and traditional food sources. Do these voices foreshadow the experience of the Kintyre Traditional Owners, who are challenging Cameco's plans to open Western Australia's first uranium mine?Guests:Candyce Paul, Committee for Future Generations, English River First Nation, Saskatchewan Marius Paul, Committee for Future Generations, English River First Nation, SaskatchewanJim Harding, author of “Canada's Deadly Secret”, retired Professor of Environmental Studies, Saskatchewan residentKirsten Scansen, Cree activist from La Ronge, SaskatchewanPhoto: Community pot-luck to share nuclear free strategies and stories in Beauval, Saskatchewan, Canada, May 2015.
