Ok,I went and had a listen.
They didn't know what the polulation of Fort St.James actually was, or how many were unemployed.
Nothing new that people didn't already know,and kind of felt a lot like a union meeting bashing the company.
Same old anti-government rhetoric.
Mainly talked about what a bunch of liars the government was and how bad they will screw us over and sell off our resources.
We already know that.
