I disagree Mr. King. Your comment: >>Winer's posts show that if the "truth" (these quotes are very very important) be known the natives do not want any development. Therefore, if you (collectivly speaking) presume to be aproponent of the natives you want all development halted. Period.<< is too generalized, IMHO. I still write to several "aboriginals" who tell me they are still FOR the development of the mine. We may quibble, but neither of us speak for the natives of Labrador (nor can we presume what "they" want developed or halted). My points are that INCO needs to better manage its dealings with all of the people of Labrador. It's simple to "demonize" a people or a corporation when each side is not speaking. INCO has hired many of the Innu for its geophysical and drilling programs, I thought it was a corporate "faux pas" that INCO sent a non-Innu-eimun speaker to Davis Inlet--Mick Lowe's report rings of truth to me. It's the apparent "us vs. them" mentality which is so sad, I think more enlighteded INCO management would know how to treat the people of Labrador--I found that "we" mentality always worked in Labrador. You asked about other mining corporations. Homestake in the early '90's even got the Sierra Club to come out "in favor" of their McLaughlin gold mine in Napa County, California. Concerning EIS, trust me, the EIS needed even then for California is probably several (hundred?) times more difficult than Newfoundland's is now. Yup, one way Homestake did it was opening up a corporate field office in this "Yuppified" wine country and showing the locals how a major mine would affect the community. Maybe INCO needs to hire some X-Homestake types <grin>. Regards, T.
