Michael Moore: Why I support the people of Thompson

Thompson is a single industry nickle mining town. I've been there several times. The place is cold and grimy. Being a six to seven hour drive North of the City of Winnipeg with not much in between, it's hell and gone from nowhere. It's a typical "company town".

I don't know much about Val-Inco, the company, but I do know that mining towns eventually have to face extinction 'cause the ore simply runs out. It may be Thompson's time to go. Shit happens. Michael Moore just made it worse.
