Hi cruniks. a winks as good as a nod to a blind sow.the nfld govt was not to blame for the churchill falls deal--it was nrgota=iated by brinco, a private corporation.Tobin is merely using the collective ownership prerogative as a hammer over the head of inco because he was elected by the people largely on this platform and the nfld people are solidly behind him.Hand must be pretty stupid if he thinks that the current nickel price should be the basis for a long term development deal for voiseys bay, afterall we have seen this ploy used in 1966 by hydroquebec.Inco apparently has the same racist views of newfoundlanders as you do and will find to their dismay that we have survived on this rock for 500 hundred years not because of stupidity but by sheer cohesive perserverance. BRAVO WELL SAID!!! the same racist attitude is evident in the current overbearing, culturally blind approach by the americans as they try to mould japanese economics into the american style.as for WINER,his train of insipid comments has no passengers;he is merely an idiot full of sound and fury signifying nothing. NO COMMENT!!! the Chief

cruniks you are barking up the wrong tree, but keep barking anyway because you are providing a valuable case in point. There are factors within this process that you have not even considered. As usual your tucowsian arguments are ineffectual and highly assumptive: Hand must be pretty stupid if . . . Inco apparently has the same racist views of newfoundlanders . . As I once pointed out to you, and I repeat, your argumentations about purely conceptual matters can only place the broadest constraints on issues concerning empirical fact (assuming that some version of the analytic/ synthetic distinction can be defended so as to make it meaningful to continue distinguishing between matters empirical and conceptual; roughly, then, a statement is analytic just in case its truth is determined solely by virtue of the meanings of the words used to express the statement). As I said before, when it is a matter of asking what is possible with regards the issues surrounding Voisey's Bay, my only properly analytical tools are logic and semantic analysis, which means that I am essentially restricted to asking whether the scenario's you suggest are meaningful and coherent, and hence logically possible. To proceed any further, I must draw on whatever I take to be synthetic or empirical truths, the production and assessment of which is hardly the exclusive province of your own unintelligent expressions, especially when it is a matter of the mining in Canada. As commentator, you possess no privileged critical capacity and are in no position to deliver a decisive judgement with regards to myself, Voisey's Bay, Labrador, Newfoundland, Canada, or much of anything else. Are you painfully aware of this? I imparted all of this to you once before!!
