Using our north for military flight training.
The Native people of Northern Quebec/Labrador Peninsula face a growing conflict over the use of their traditional homeland for military flight training. The low-level flight training that supports a recent revision of NATO contingency plans for war in Europe causes social disruption and physical destruction. Current and proposed training at Goose Bay, Labrador, raises serious environmental and human-rights questions. A host of medical and psychological problems can be expected to follow in populations subject to the disruption and damage caused by low-level flight programs in their area. It is not possible for individuals to develop "coping strategies" adequate to meet the stress caused by stressors of this type.
