but it could have been bitter disappointment. Nunatsiavut assembly members voted for a three year ban on development of any uranium mining, exploration can still take place. So what's all the hoopla bullshit about.
A 8 to 7 vote means that the pressure got to about 5 members, I have to wonder was it pressure or other considerations.
A strong lobby of interests all outside the Nunatsiavut area was very vocal, this crowd and this incorrectly named bunch being just two. I heard nothing locally, not a promise or any arm twisting by mining companies, airlines, supply companies, not a hint of consultation of constituents by our members.
So lets hope that decisions on issues that effect the lives of people in the area stay with people in the area.
I understand that this uranium mining issue has world wide ramifications, but it is up to the people who control the land the mine will be on to make the final decision, so all those outside money hungry f---s should hold their tongues, after all Nunatsiavut residents don't go around shouting out what is best for Goose Bay, or any other place for that matter.
