I sure hope you are right rj ...
I am one of those who is making noise in regards to the FN on the Noront board. Don't get me wrong I am not against the FN's participating in the Ring. I believe if they learned the responsibility of some ownership is good. But on tax payers dollars. I don't think so. I work very hard and study and do my own DD I don't get paid by the governments to do it.
I understand that they need to change their way of life to be able to prosper. But work for it. Work with those that are willing to invest in your backyard. Create jobs that their youth can get educated to perform within their communities. Working in your hometown is a priviledge in itself. Being able to keep your culture and practice it in your homeland is fantastic. There will be benefit after benefit for the FN.
I just believe that some of the chiefs are causing issues to obstruct development. I would love to see chromite developed asap too. I have bet my money on it. Mathematically the North South route is the economical route for chromite. The FN need to yell at government for infrustructure not fight the private companies trying to it done.
One question however I thought Bob Rae was Matawas man to get it done on their behalf? Did they fire him? Where is he in all this?
just my opinion
