You are so right about this economic downturn being a blessing in disguise.
As I mentioned on the FWR forum, Thunder Bay is hosting the NWOPA Symposium and Actlabs is hosting a free dinner. I have my invitation but am in Toronto! Hopefully, a few of my friends will attend and clue me in. I really wanted to be there to talk to the guys at Actlabs. Would have been very interesting.
I recall Mac's words to us and I believe him. I concurr that NOT will want a good price as well.
What gets me is that this forum could be or could have been a real force regarding the road issue. A road would give the E1 pod fair market value in a New York minute. This is a lot of cash. This is why I can't understand why the company did not have the foresight to utilize us or mobilize us to push for the road. Snug and the rest of us have done what we could.
I spoke with NN after you did. I just had to go and see what his attitude was. he suggested to me that the road issue is beyond the politicians. In other words at the next stage to the real power.
I still can't figure out what or who he was referring to. Would it be lobbyists?
And a big OH for your statement about Sudbury companies being more global. Of course! I think local so expect everyone to..:)
