Give him a break:
He needs to be shown where actually the N/S railway will go because it is about to be next to his back yard. ( Otherwise it will go to James Bay.)
He also has to be told that the railway is prosperity.
With NOT & KWG working as partners things are bound to move more quickly and he has to sign on the dotted line for him to get the benefits.

Finally he has to be told not to expect a pie from the sky. To Get real for a change.
