"I would assume a little respect and courtesy for First Nations from our board would be a good idea, as that would probably help any causes especially if one tends to make money from this ROF investment. " Noront has been as kind and respectful to the FN's as is possible for the past 6 years, in fact others have refered to Noront as an example of how to deal with the FN. So what have they got for all their kindness? It reminds me of the adult son who lives with and sponges off his parents. Sure being nice to him may make him like you but it won't necessarily get you what you want. Maybe it is time to bring out the stick?
