You could put Alaska and California in that much land mass... The enviro lunatics will be very mad... Because all of that land now belongs Nunavut Tunngavik Inc., and they can now profit off the land that they own... They are now open for business.

Somebody is going to make some serious money... The question is... After you become a millionaire... Do you really want to live in Nunavut?

They likely have billions and maybe even trillions of dollars in natural resources... Difficult to get to, but it’s there for the taking and the owners will decide... My guess is that the owners want some money.

“Difficult to get to”

I like Western history and I’m constantly amazed how quickly people have gotten into difficult to access places to build railroads, bridges, mines, and lumbering operations. We took an Alaskan cruise in July and rode the “White Pass & Yukon Route Railway” in Skagway. The story of the construction of that railroad was incredible and the speed in which it was built was astounding. Then all the heavy mining equipment headed to the Yukon had a much easier route.

Same with the silver mining district in Idaho and other mining districts throughout Montana, Nevada and California. People don’t realize how fast huge capital and enormous machinery was purchased, built (often in England), transported long distances to these remote mines and constructed on site.

It’s also amazing that skilled engineers, constructors, trades people, and laborers heard about the work and flooded into the areas.

When there’s big money to be made, people can really hustle.

It’s going to take more than a few beads, a bottle of gin and some colored glass to appease them this time... Some brand new skidoos and some nice Canada Goose parkas would be a good start... Add a couple of suitcases full of cash and then you’re talking.

Nunavut. Soon to be home to a million casinos. More than Las Vegas.

I see this as a good thing. Later down the road, Quebec may do the same thing. Then why not Alberta?

It is the newest investment scheme and they call these companies. They tried to here, but some got wind of this and encouraged State Attorney Generals to take it to the SEC and they made the stock exchanges remove NACs (National Asset Companies) from the exchanges. It is a clever way to steal the public lands from We The People and to control the assets like a commodity. But they will try again, rest assured of that.

Do the other provinces have the same treatment?

I don’t think it matters. The Canadian Truckers stood up to Justin Trudeau two years ago. So they’re capable of a movement like that again if they’re motivated enough and willing to risk arrests and having their banks cut off by the central government.

Quebec and Alberta are provinces of Canada, so legally speaking, I’m sure their status in Canada is different from this territory.

It’s probably analogous to how US possessions such as Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands have a different status, because they are not states.

True. But Quebec almost voted for independence. So there you go. So if there's some self-government in Nunavut, the French folks in Quebec may make a push for it. But I just looked up the demographics of Montreal. A lot of immigrants from Africa and the Middle East there. Pretty smart move by the Liberals. They will vote to maintain the status quo.

They’re too woke to even muster a rifle section now. Oh well. We all have bigger problems.

It’s already in law, provinces can separate and Alberta is getting mighty close.

“...and they can now profit off the land that they own... They are now open for business.”

As long as they BEHAVE in a way acceptable to the Canadian government in Ottawa. Otherwise, they’ll get the “Canadian Trucker Treatment”.
