RE:RE:Ottawa to Spend 400 Million.... lets be really really really clear about this latest wild pump, this is 400 million for all of the north, Yukon, NWT and Nunavut, the pumperdumperdoodledooers can get excited when they can show the board that 175, or almost half of this, is earmarked for Chidliak, pathetic as this is an easy 20/30 banger..
