Big expansion at Cemetation in North Bay

Cementation is expanding big time in North Bay. Large buildings going up in our industrial park. Could it be related to ring of fire???? Eagles Nest.??? Does any one out there know anything more. I would post pictures that I took but can't figure out how...

Natives vs Natives..... Takeover attempt..

I have no idea what to make of this....WHY NOW ???? Are the Cree after some of the action in the ring.>\??? What a mess...What the hell, lets blame Gravelle for this too. He should have acted more decisively years ago.





THUNDER BAY, ON: Nishnawbe Aski Nation (NAN) Grand Chief Alvin Fiddler, Mushkegowuk Council Grand Chief Jonathan Solomon and First Nation Chiefs in north-eastern Ontario today affirmed their unwavering resolve to protect and defend their homelands following the commencement of legal action by the Quebec-based Cree Nation of Eeyou Istchee claiming Aboriginal rights and title to lands in Ontario.


“Any effort by any government to undermine the Treaty, ancestral or territorial rights of NAN First Nations will be decisively fought at both the political and legal levels. I am confident that, on reflection, the legal action taken by the Grand Council of the Crees will be reconsidered and other solutions will be found for pursuing their issues with the governments of Canada and Ontario. In the meantime, we are united in our resolve to protect and assert our rightful authority and jurisdiction over our homelands,” said Grand Chief Alvin Fiddler.


On March 7, 2016 the Quebec Cree announced legal action in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice against the governments of Canada and Ontario seeking Aboriginal rights and title over approximately 48,000 square kilometres of land in the traditional territory of several First Nations that are members of Mushkegowuk and NAN, along the southwestern shore of James Bay and the Ontario-Quebec border.


“I am a little saddened by the action taken by our Cree cousins of Quebec, and we hope they will reconsider, so that we can continue to work together as we always have, but the reality is that of course the Mushkegowuk Cree, if pushed, will fully defend our homeland, including in the courts, although I’m hoping it doesn’t come to that,” said Mushkegowuk Council Grand Chief Jonathan Solomon.

Re: Sinking economy may lead to Trudeau ouster: O'Leary

I cannot believe that 13 of my fellow poster would approve anything O'leary says about politcs. Its like watching the now defunct Sun TV .


Kevin should stick to buying and selling financial instruments and leave poitics and the running of countries to people that under stand the problems faced by the majority of people in this world (read 99%).


The right wing business oriented Tory parties and the moral majority Republicans in the States have no clue of how to run a country.


Ronald Regan, Brian Mulroney and Thatcher are the reason why our economy is where it is today. Deregulation and greed is good attitude has no place in today's world.


If you have time. click on this You Tube video and have a listen. It's a speech given by Mario Cuomo back in 1992, at the Democratic convention. Everything he said and warned americans about has come to pass.
