Also, let& #39;s remember that Teck is not a company acting in good faith on any front; in BC it forced miners to work through #Covid19... https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-teck-resources-facing-calls-to-shut-down-coal-mines-in-british/">https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/... #bcpoli
