Thats right Dancer.

A very good idea to begin putting pressure on all officials for the trickle down effect. Not just for the "Canadiana" but also for the economics of the whole deal. Cliffs is looking for aggregate but they'll never get enough. A road like they want will take constant crews for upkeep hence more aggregate. There just isn't enough.
Our "leaders" must be made aware of these things. You will notice I did not capitalize leaders.
How will we get our nickel out? How will the other plays get their chromite out? Wait in line? Cliffs will need IMHO 100 trucks a day for 15 or twenty years. Them alone not to mention everyone else.
Cliffs is an American company. They'll get Government funds for a road, will not be able to upkeep it so will hand it off to we tax payers. I know how they operate. We just stop this poison before it spreads.
Can you imagine what that traffic would do to a road? I use the term "carpet bombing" and that is not an exaggeration.
Rail is the only way and we all should start pumping these facts as loud as we can. Work as hard as we can for a good pay off. Besides there will be a service road with little traffic for the Northern communites to utilize and in the future branch off from. It will enable them to acquire better food, health care and living accomodations. We will also open the North up to tourism which will bring in big bucks and create even more work.
I could go on and on guys but I know you all get the picture. I've dealt with just about every one of you at one time or another. You people are all very savvy and have my respect. Even those of you who may consider me a bitter taste.
Agoracom has got together before. We tried to save Dick Nemis phoning all of the share holders etc.. We are good at this kind of thing. Our future and our childrens future is at stake.
The U.S. is getting pushed back on the world stage. Lets push them back some more. Its time for us.
As usual I've got a lot to say..:) sorry about that guys but I'm pumped.
