1. So, “they” are going to throw more money at useless wind projects by what, making sure indians don’t lose money they got for nothing, on useless investments that will produce nothing? What a great country. s/

   1. I second this comment.

2. I know a subcontractor that got screwed royally from one of those native bands for a couple months work they did on a bunch of homes on a reserve. The money that was supposedly allocated by the Gov’t for the work disappeared leaving nothing to pay the subs. I understand the Band was able to get their hands on the Gov’t money and had no intention to honor their obligations. THIS. Is what I expect will happen here. Just another swack of cash to drain off and leave some unfortunates holding their empty bag. No honor among thieves.

4. And you thought you had a sensible, conservative Premier.
