HOOV and SN, Glorieux in particular. Thanks for your superb comments and updates.

Lar, we learned a lot from your meeting with Wes, I expect that he was greatly impressed with your knowledge and questions.

Speaking of NOT being on the TSX ,which has been discussed here often...I may be wrong, but I've heard that the main reason that NOT held back on applying to the TSX is that, if listed on the TSX ,shareholders are entitled to vote on any mergers or buyouts. Not being listed meant that NOT shareholders did not have to be given the right to vote on the Freewest buyout.

Even though we are all anxious for real news, I agree that it's smart to wait until the blockade is over. It will then have a far greater impact.

Again, deep thanks to all Canadians for those fabulous Olympics!
