RE:RE: First Nations in key natural gas region can halt developmeBottom line political risk is off the charts and any development will be subject to FN Mafia stake. Of course all the multinationals knew this among many other political risks were a serious threat that's why they all left tens of BNs investments behind for $0.02 on the dollar. Better to deal in Africa, LatAM, Asia where you can emply your own milita LOL.

The entire province of BC is ~945,000 square kilometers so how can one FN in the very NE corner of the province be almost the size of the entire province itself? The 840,000 square kilometers number is out of context and is for ALL Treaty 8 FNs but the BRFN is only 1 out of 39 of the members of Treaty 8. There is some truth that there will be an impact to future approvals processes but, in the end, I think it just gives FNs more leverage to negotiate royalty deals with producers.
