Ciffs are terrified of this combination. Why? Because it will force them to pay fair value. Cutthroats do not like fair value. They prefer Gestapo methods such as "starve them out" or "beat them up" or "divide and conquer". Anything but pay for the resource.
It's a shame. To top all this off, later on if Cliffs wins it will be another case of evil winning over good. And then, the deals and breaks they will get or receive from the Ontario Government will be very visible during our taxation time. In other words, they will steal the massive resource and then steal from the tax payers. The benefits they will reap will more than pay for a Government road into the area IMHO.
Frank is really trying to get fair value. I hope things work out. It's not over til the fat lady sings.
Lou I read your post on NOT forum. Plenty of room in Thunder Bay. I am in Chennai India...:) It was funny though.
Regards and good luck to all.
