I find it strange that this news article you posted Ringer makes no mention of the Neskantaga First Nation, but somehow mentions other First Nation reserves much farther away from the East-West corridor Noront had originally intended; reserves in bold below. If I recall correctly, this is the corridor they are talking about using to connect to the Ring of Fire
Quote: "He said it would pass close to Cat Lake, Mishkeegogamang, Lac Seul, Webequie, Nibinamik, Eabamatoong, Saugeen and Slate Falls First Nations."
Am I missing something here. I don't recall any of these First Nations (in bold above) being closer to Noront's proposed East-West than Neskantaga would be. Why are they not included? I mean...Take for instance Cat Lake...They are over 119 km from Pickle Lake, which makes them even further from the East-West corridor. How are they considered close.

Someone has to elablorate more on what they are proposing for this EWRFC initiative, because so far its coming off half-baked.
