Firstly, it once again shows how Cliff's does business- as soon as they do not get their way, they say "I want to take my ball and go home". Very mature!
Secondly, we now know who is in Cliff's pocket...Marten Falls (IMHO).
Thirdly, both Marten Falls and Cliff's could get exactly what they want and more. Neither party has said they don't want a railroad, Cliffs just wants a free road-let other people (province of Ontario pay, and let's screw KWG out of any fees). Well, KWG is more than happy to share their railroad, and won't even charge a leg and an arm for it. Oh yeah, and both Cliffs and MF fail to recognize that not only did KWG secure the rights to the passage but they spent 10's of millions of dollars doing drilling and engineering work to make sure it is feasible....but I forgot that MF and Cliffs just want everything for free...too bad so sad.
