Sharbot Lake
I was in Ottawa over the weekend, and a friend I was visiting told me about the situation going on around Sharbot Lake. Ultimately a battle between a uranium mining company and the local residents who depend on the lake for their livelihood, significantly including at least two Native tribes. It was the first I'd heard of it, and I've been trying to find more information since. So far the best I've found is a couple of posts by 900ft Jesus, (Part I, and Part II), which explains the situation pretty well.
It is something I'll be keeping an eye on, but I'm rather surprised that as near as I can tell, none of the national news organizations are bothering to cover the stand-off.
