I watched it.
My impression from it is that a road up there was much harder to construct than one to the Ring would be.
Next, how come a road is built there but not to the Ring? Tuktoyaktuk with about 900 members has more influence with the federal government than sevetal communities of Mattawa? Wake up Ottawa. Tuk is hoping for tourists but the Ring has assured profitable mining, hence no comparison as to the return on investment benefits to the politicians in Ottawa.
Last, concerns about easier drug and alcohol importation are considered more serious by some then the benefits of having everyting costing much less due to a road. False login if anyone asks me.
