    I hope our first nations puts up a blockade and fights this. Leave Jumbo alone, they snuck this in behind the backs of the people who have fought for years to keep this from happening. I will be advocating and voicing my NO to this project. Leave Jumbo alone.

      A comment or question back to you Lorlee in regards to your post; are you advocating that the two first nations should start fighting over this issue? There are two first nations perifally involved here, the Akiskanook and the Shushwap, The first in opposition and the second in approval.
      Are you saying they should go out on the streets and have a dust up because some other folks did not get things to go the way you wanted?
      We as a society know this was not in your words ” snuck in behind the backs of people”, it has been the most discussed topic of job creation in the last 22 years or longer.
