DoLittle, you have shaken the Canadian flag wonderfully. I felt my heart stirring within me and was ready to go to the nearest recruiting office and sign up immediately.

Unfortunately our Canadian governments have sold us out long ago. Mulroney's so-called free trade fiasco and Harper standing by while Inco disappeared come to mind.

I don't think the RoF is the place to draw the line in the sand. The only objection I have to Cliffs takeover bid is that they are still offering peanuts for FWR.

When NOT goes on the auction block I want it to go to the highest bidder period. That includes the Swiss, Brazilians, Chinese AND THE AMERICANS if they have the best bid.

I really don't know how to undo the damage caused to our economy by successive Canadian governments (particularly Conservative) but the RoF is not the place to start turning things around. JMHO.
