James Bay Cree Nation Responds to Licensing Decision of the CanadianNuclear Safety Commission

James Bay Cree Nation Responds to Licensing Decision of the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission

"On October 17, 2012 the CNSC announced that it would issue a licence to Strateco Resources Inc. to proceed with an advanced exploration project at the Matoush uranium ore body site, located near the Cree community of Mistissini. Strateco Resources Inc.'s project at Matoush is the most advanced proposed uranium project to date in Eeyou Istchee, and also in Quebec."

words of wisdom 10-07-2012

I have been pondering over this saying that my late-grandfather RL use to say about listening and I hope I have translated this correctly: "How can you expect the children to listen when they have drank from the milk of a cow [since infancy] rather than from the breast milk of their own mother? It is only when the cow says 'listen', then, they will listen to the cow rather their mother's attempt to get their attention, without any hesitation."
