The controversy that is the Dasiqox Tribal Park, could be viewed in many different ways. Personally I respect the fact that the First Nations People are attempting to preserve these biologically diverse lands, but I definitely question the motives. If these lands were so very important to them, why did it take this long to claim them? The Williams Lake area is unquestionably an amazing destination and demolition of such a beautiful place would be a tough pill to swallow; however, the estimated 1.1 billion dollar project should also provide a strong argument to the government.  Although already given full approval, Taseko Mines Ltd. was forced to halt their operations in the wake of what happened. To me, this seems like an abuse of power.

The spontaneity of this Tribal Park proves just how difficult it can be to manage a company. Things can change ever so fast, and all one can really do is plan for the worst. By evaluating external threats in the building of the business plan, companies can attempt to make arrangements to avoid disasters like this. In this case Taseko Mines Ltd. would have had to look into Political and Social threats to their operation. However it is easier said than done, and even with large scale projects like this, threats can easily fly under the radar.
