Thanks miskealp.
I already know I'm not the person to be writing this letter, but hopefully if I get it started, the real brains out there can tweak it until it's ready for all of us to cut & paste and then mail.
It's just such a damn disgrace, and when you think of why Canada doesn't have nickel majors anymore...they've been sold to other countries who simply swoop into to take over the targets that our banks have hamstrung for them. They're served up on a platter to the rest of the world. But Harper gets bent about losing the Canadarm as a source of national pride?
It's gotta change.
