I agree with the railroad funding, politics is mute because they are all idiots.

If the rail went through comunities or at least near them, maybe, but the route is strictly a mining railline spur. Same for the North south all season road on that route. I can see some support for a road going to Martens Falls to hekp out them but there is only one route that will work for the most people in the area AND the mines. East/West and that is it. The support from government will be more of a gurentee loans to build with some % given as Fed/provincial grant to the FNs to own this road.
