Attawapiskat, the real story

Warning: the reason that politicians want Attawapiskat people to move. The mining companies want unencumbered access to Ring of fire.
... The Ontario and Canadian governments are taking advantage of the terrible state of the community in Attawapiskat. These governments need the revenue from the mineral potential of that geology. Mining company investors on Bay street, Toronto are loathe to give money to the First Nations.
... Governments dawdled on the file for a long time. Mining companies want free reign in that part of Ontario. As part of the legal aspect, the community of Attawapiskat would have to be the prime support site for any mining development. Money rules. Mining companies rule. Governments hold back funding.
