New On Profits
yes it is hard to take profits from the North, thats why Hydro Quebec doesnt share any of the money they make from the James Bay project. Same reason none of the Oil in the Makenzie Delta is shared with the locals. Yup, no money to be made, right then about this Parrot Ive got for sale.
thanx,
bill

New Hey, you still don't get the point I'm making
the idea of a consumer supported economy up there doesn't work nearly as well; you have to make SO much more money just to cover your basic costs because they are many times higher than they are in nice temperate climes like we've got down here.

Oh, yeah... Hydro Quebec actually does share money from James Bay... just not enough, according to the Cree. Couldn't tell you about Mackenzie River Delta oil, though... prolly a back room deal from the Bad Old Days.

Fortunately, over the course of the last twenty years it's become pretty clear that the Bad Old Days are over; witness the very large chunk of ownership of diamond mining local tribes are getting up there. The big growth industry right now is diamond cutting; the Innu want to do the cutting because that's the step with the most value-add. The good part? They have enough ownership clout to make it happen once they get enough guys schooled in how it's done.

New point !=missed
even though it costs a boatload of cash to provide services up there, that boatload is less than the profits removed every day from that area by Canadian and multinational companies with Canadian Government blessing. Back wages are in order dont you think?
