I agree with Teutracker, furthermore, Venezuela cannot screw with Canada.

“under the Agreement between the Government of Canada and the Government of Venezuela for the Promotion and Protection of Investments (the "Treaty").”

KRY has got to much clout; there will be hell to pay between our governments if the permit is not granted, more so if the Russians are favored.

The Russians will not get Las Cristinas

It won’t take 6 months to resolve either.

Don’t forget who’s in the batting cage:

Mr. Fung has been close to " The Right Honourable" Paul Martin since they were room-mates at the University of Toronto, St. Michael's College. Paul Martin is godfather to Robert Fung Jr.,

Jean Chrétien was a business partner.

Li Ka-Shing, Hong Kong tycoon, one of the world's richest men: Fung mentored his son, Richard Li, at Gordon Capital.

KRY is not alone...........
