Un bon article de Patrick Butler sur certains des enjeux des villes de Labrador City et Wabush devant l'expansion annoncée de l'activité minière (mines de fer).
Plus de mines = plus de travailleurs = plus de logements = plus d'électricité (et ça bloque).
Ce qui se joue entre autres : maintenir et développer les communautés présentes, sans miser seulement sur le fly-in fly-out.
Pourquoi évoquer LabCity et Wabush ici ? J'y ai travaillé en 2021-2022 - non dans l'activité minière, mais à l'Association francophone du Labrador. Une découverte de l'intérieur du Nord canadien, de la réalité de l'activité minière fondamentale pour l'économie du pays, d'une province anglophone, d'une communauté francophone minoritaire... et d'un hiver qui s'étend de fin octobre à mai.
