ANGUS: The African Parrots

Charlie Angus / The Resistance - June 14, 2026

EXCERPT: "Pete Saille spent a number of years as a hired gun on international mining developments – the work took him around the world. , , ,

Pete still loves to talk mining. He wants to know what I’ve seen of the big expansion going on at the Kidd Deep mine project in Timmins, Ontario.“They’re taking the shaft below 10,000 feet,” he says wistfully.

It’s clear he still longs to be back in the heart of the action.

“Sure, I miss it when I get together with the boys,” he then pauses and pats his damaged pelvis. “But all those young bucks... I couldn’t compete against them anymore.”

“Ah, hon,” says Glenda affectionately. “You could dance circles around them.”

She then nudges Pete to take me out to the garage and show me his favourite toy – a hot rod, black sports car.

The car is kept carefully protected from the long, hard winters. Come summer, Pete will take it for a spin along the highway into town. A sports car and African parrots – leftover booty from the days when he was a king of underground."
