First Mining Gold Corp (FFMGF)

[Implanting]

Yes, there's no doubt, the Springpole mine is in no uncertain terms a MUST HAPPEN for all parties concerned. That includes the Canadian Feds, Ontario, FN tribes, like Cat Lake, and of course FMG.

The Ontario gov may be pushing this thing harder than Keith and Dan are. I assume that most of the money that the FN people receive comes from the government and if the gov is broke, that's a big problem for them. They can forget about that road they need.

Let's face it Canada is broke, and IMO what our biggest concerns as shareholders may be once both Springpole and Duparquet are up and operational is nationalization of the mining in Canada a possibility? That discussion has been talked about here many times. My personal opinion is that it would be, especially with the Socialist regime they have running the country there now. It's hard to say how such a move by the government would effect the mining there, but it certainly wouldn't be positive.

TommyJ, you may have an opinion or further insight into that question, so please feel free to delve in with your thoughts.
