Strategic Miner, that commentary is dividing the parties even more by making not one single proposal how to solve the "self-established" problem between Miners and Natives and Southern-Northerners and Far Northerners.

It´s the same old complaining that things are not working as they should without proposing a solution or at least a starting point to a solution.

"Almost everyone in the mining industry is blaming First Nations for holding up progress."

But that´s fact. The RoF development is massively slowed down for years because of the First Nation Issues. And without the Miners, the Far Northerners would still be "a 19th-century fur colony" for the next centuries to come. It´s too easy, in my opinion, to blame others (the Miners) for all the problems and at the same time complain about one´s own "underdeveloped" situation. Have I heard any "constructive" approach over the last couple of years ? NO ! Just complaining, blockading, unsatisfied although supported.

"If our underdog champions, the Aboriginal communities of the Far North, win the battle, then we all win. If they lose, the evil global trading system will control the North until the next ice age."

That´s a pathetic and hypocritical attempt to put the First Nations in a position as if they could solve (bad) global financial control mechanisms. Good against evil ? Fight economic power with socialism ? One for all and all for one ? Daydreamers !
