"Perhaps NOT et al will be allowed the all season road placement of their choice and CLF the rail direction of theirs......mmmm not likely. Perhaps CLF choice of placement has to do with where they think their furnace is going."
Think of the upfront logistics, Sum. An all season road following existing trails and having First nation support from the start, OR selecting a route of your choice, that bypasses any benefit to those First Nations,and trying to get it throught the environmental process, when you would like to begin construction of your facility in an expedicious manner.
On another topic, you are portraying KWG and CLF as being on cooperative terms and both working together in a common manner. The last I heard on the subject, they were at each others throat.
