[edit] Sentence from Policy Positions section

They have argued the position that uranium mines are bad because they causes pollution that renders caribou meat from nearby herds unsafe for one-year-old children to consume in large quantities.^[1]

I have removed this sentence as it really isn't a policy position, is poorly worded, and appears to be pushing a narrow POV... Johnfos (talk) 11:01, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

That's my difficulty. I can't find anything in the ref that doesn't push a narrow POV. So far as I can tell, it is completely devoid of any balance from the title on. Perhaps you can see what I can't? In the long version of the ref[1] the source document they drew from is cited as ref 100: Thomas P and Gates T (1999). "Radionuclides in the Lichen–Caribou–Human Food Chain near Uranium Mining Operations in Northern Saskatchewan, Canada". Environmental Health Perspectives 107: 527–537.  LeadSongDog (talk) 14:30, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

If there is some published criticism of the report or the Pembina Institute, we could certainly refer to that in the article. Johnfos (talk) 20:48, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps this or this or this (I'm sure we can chase out the original publications.)LeadSongDog (talk) 21:49, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
