"How the FN can call the ROF their backyard when the place can fit one half of Europe in it ?"
See? Like it or not, the FN calls the RoF their backyard, whatever the size, because... IT IS. Treaties! You may not like the treaties, you may not like the indians not paying taxes, you may not like potato pies, but it's there! IT'S THERE! If you ignore this fact, please stay away from the negociation table.
The first thing that one does before dealing with anyone is learning what the facts are . Not what you'd like the facts to be, or how you would have liked your predecessors to deal with it. Or how you would like the other party to think. But learning the facts. Recalling Inco (Vale) in NFLD with its Diamondfieds project?
I would give a 1:10 note to Cliffs canadian consultants! And a fraction of this note to the Ontario Government!
