...a difference between them. One has some basis, the other plain air.

Yes Luker, but you are dealing with human nature.

If the golden goose laid an egg on your neighbour's backyard and you found it, would you not want to hype the value of that egg. After all it is not just gold but a Golden Goose's Egg.

Besides that you would, excuse my presumption, at least I would hype up that she might lay on my back yard next time. And all the neighbours would say that their properties are more valuable due to possibility of it happening on their properties.

And so it goes with Matawa, they all want it even when Webequie is about the only one to have a reasonable expectation on revenue sharing. Most of the other communities would benefit any ways from the other aspects such as infrastructures and jobs.

But they All want more. Nothing wrong with wanting, we all do, but demanding has to be based on solid foundation.

I would only debate with Webequie, the remainder imo should be satisfied with infrastructures and jobs ( associated with jobs is training for those jobs ).

But of course I do not have constituents to please. politicians do & Do.
