I am with you on this one Fatman. I think thief is too kind a word.

ARU management has to be tactful and prudent in the negotiations. They have to be car full of what they say.

As investors we do not. When someone is stealing or proposing to steal your property the proper response is anger. If they think they can get away with it and Canadians will just accept it then they will think we are a bunch of pansy's and that they can take more and we will still invest. I think we should let the Ecuadorian government know that that is not the case.

If this were taking place in Canada or the US would you have the same response or would you be angry and in a mood to fight back?
