from the link:

“Noront designed a road and did an environmental assessment on a road that doesn’t connect to anybody, and it’s a fabric road that goes through wetland,” said Smeenk. “We went to the forestry guys and the First Nations and asked them where do you want a road and where can you build one. Our route is about one-third of the price and goes where the First Nations think it should go and where the forestry guys say they can build it.”

is this why the FN are so upset with Noront?
