I do find it telling that the only operating lithium mine in Canada is essentially owned and operated by a subsidiary of the Chinese government.

lmao of course it is

What, China doing questionable thing, given the green light by the government you say.

I would feel much better if Canada's resources were controlled by American companies. We would be able to help them benefit while also ensuring a strong raw material source for our country.

So would every Canadian. I mean, ideally they would be Canadian companies, but let's be realistic. I think every Canadian would rather work with the USA than China on this one.

Well we are helping convert their politicians over to our side, so it won't be too long before we are able to take control of those resources.

I just bought some stock in Recharge Resources. Pretty sure they’re Canadian. They seem to have a couple of projects in Canada and one in Argentina.

Let's not pretend that Canadian owned mining companies are not shady as fuck as well

Wait until you find out who has the fresh water and who wants the fresh water. Turns out lots of the US is pretty dry...

That's a weird thing to say... but the largest stakeholder in Sayona is an American company.

I think your info might be out of date. That mine changed hands a few times. Currently owned by Sayona. An Australian corp whose biggest investors are American.

Mining companies in general are complete assholes. Here in the US they like to creatively bankrupt the mining company and hide the money in related entities so the state gets stuck cleaning up the environmental damage on the taxpayers dime

"I would feel much better if Canada's resources were controlled by American companies. We would be able to help them benefit while also ensuring a strong raw material source for our country."

Is it because of Harper's FIPA deal?

Not rare, my country barely owns anything in it including the media.

From the article

> Canada is starting to take steps to limit China’s influence within the domestic supply chain. Earlier this month, Champagne said Canada will limit the involvement of foreign-owned state companies in the critical mineral sector, and a week later ordered three Chinese companies to sell their interests in small Canadian firms.

So it seems that won't be true for much longer

Muh narrative

It’s in the article?

As someone else pointed out though, it has since changed hands and is now owned by an Australian group.

So why are you not editing/removing your wrong comment up?

Hey, look, everyone! It's two ill-informed people talking to each other. What other outdated and stupid thing will they say next? Stay tuned to find out!

Because I let people down vote instead and add comments below. If I just remove it, context is lost.

Your comment is doing nothing but spreading something untrue.

You can update your comment too - it's as simple as "EDIT: This is no longer true. See comment below."

Weird thing to double down on.

Trudeau will fuck this up , don’t count on it
