"...Cliffs had now been allowed to sample aggregate along the proposed road route. He said it was “most untoward” of ministers to act in such an inconsistent way."

I've always thought that the provincial gov't would side with CLF. It's been Canadian history to sell out to big brother to the south. They smell a fast easy flow of money from Clf so they won't invest in Canada but look to someone else to buy us. It's just my opinion.
