Edgy, I agree fully with the road. This to me is a given. But until the EA is approved this is a road to nowhere, just as it has always been; no offense to the FN. The FN are well aware why this road is being built, and they know what it means socially and economically, their just playing games. Clearly the governments are waiting for something, and to me it is one of two things, or both, since it would appear we have a surplus of money to spend come 2015 and a new trading/investing partner; China. 1) No one will move on the Ring if it is going to be an ecological disaster, especially the FN. 2) Between the Conservatives and the Liberals neither one will move until a situation presents itself where moving forward with funding for the ROF clearly puts one party ahead of the other in the voting poles. I probably missed some other factors here but I think we can both agree on one thing and that is that many FN people have already embraced what could be a brand new future for generations to come, the problem is their past generations are still holding onto a great deal of resentment and mistrust, which keeps them from moving forward because their too busy trying to get even.
