RE:Revenue sharing agreementI am a sucker for answering questions today
""Btw Mongolia finally figured it out with the Oyu Toigoi mine. We are a much more developed and smarter nation...... Why is it taking so long?
I am not so sure we are. the short answer - They knew what they wanted and they only had one government that wanted a biggr=er piece of the pie - THERE are THREE levels of government involved here. None of which has the financial means to contribute - It is a pride of lions sharing the rabbit. The hunter is on the sidelines hoping he is not noticed - he MIGHT get eaten himself.
Or have to give up at least an arm and a leg hoping to come out alive.
First Ontario is broke and that is AND they do not see the priority. They were willing to go it alone (without the Feds0 for a better old age pension. YET they NEED the Feds to get in on this or they can''t do it. Explain that to me? It is another way of TRYING to bring the Feds to a table to talk redistribution of these taxes amoung the three nations ( I am not claiming native nationhood - after treaties signed) BUT Wynn et el are allowing natives to treat themselves this way
This is a quagmire - a bit like the land underlying the Ring of fire - hope my investment does not sink out of sight from the greed of those who do not know how to share in the hunt
Ps I do have native blood through a Daigle in about 1784 who was ""chef de la maliceet''
so i know the past - I make decisions on what I see today in front of me Look Learn act positively to build not bleed your brothers - this is addressed to all involved
