The rights for mining are sold off, generating revenues for the Crown. Royalties are also paid for the right of mining, to the Crown We're not giving them away And the rights can be taken away by the Crown. Canadian gold production royalties are generally based on either a percentage of net revenue or a percentage of net profits, and vary by province. Some provinces have a flat rate, while others have a tiered system where the royalty rate increases with profitability,

And guess who supplies a big chunk of their much needed aluminium? And who put a 25% tariff on aluminum that the consumer pays for? In 2023, Canada's primary aluminum production was estimated at 3.3 million tonnes, making it the fourth-largest producer globally. This production is fueled by renewable hydroelectric power, giving Canadian aluminum a lower carbon footprint than many other producers. The majority of Canadian aluminum production (nearly 90%) is located in Quebec. Exports: A significant portion of Canadian aluminum is exported, primarily to the United States. Smelters: There are nine aluminum smelters in Canada, eight in Quebec and one in British Columbia.

All this talk and posturing about REE, rare earth elements by the politicians in Ukraine, Greenland etc is just nonsense Where are the geology reports? where are the surface rock samples? where are the drill cores with the percentages of elements present and of what variety? If you can build a mine within 10 years, after drilling thousands of cores to determine the structure you have fast tracked a mine. I am invested in the largest Ionic Clay rare earth discovery on earth, and its been 3 years of drilling and lab analisis to begin to map out the resource, and they've only mapped out 20% of their claim Samples of the rare earth have to be sent to the lab to find out what particular elements are present. And how easy they are to seperate. There are about 17 elements that fall under the heading of rare earths, some are extremely valuable others not. There are different baskets of material MERO and TERO which do they have? Now you have a rare earth discovery, you've managed to get a condensed product at the mine Next is the refining or separating the jumble of elements down to the one you need. China does 90% of the rare earth refining because it is a nasty environmental mess The us has one mine at Mountain Pass and it sends it to China for processing. This is all just flavour of the day political posturing

@Cameroni @Airalee If you knew something about mineral rights in Canada Who owns the majority of mineral rights in Canada? The Crown Mineral rights are registered in accordance with the Land Titles Act. See Land Titles – overview for the types of surface rights ownership and more information on land titles. The Crown owns 81 per cent of the mineral rights, representing approximately 53.7 million hectares of land.

I don't know why any country would bother, it's like lucy holding the football for Charlie Brown Canada and Mexico has a trade agreement called the USMCA, it replaced the original NAFTA agreement which was about 20 years old. The USMCA, short for the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, is a trade agreement between the United States, Mexico, and Canada that entered into force on July 1, 2020. It replaced the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). The USMCA aims to create a more balanced and reciprocal trade environment, supporting North American workers, farmers, ranchers, and businesses. Trump loved the agreement in 2020 https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/briefings-statements/remarks-president-trump-usmca-celebration-american-workers-warren-mi/ The USMCA is the fairest, most balanced, and beneficial trade agreement we have ever signed into law. It’s the best agreement we’ve ever made, and we have others coming. And, by the way, the China deal, two weeks ago, was just signed. And that’s going to bring $250 billion into our country. (Applause.) One after another. This year he voided the USMCA agreement bitcching about how unfair it was. You can't negotiate with a 5 yo or trump

not really, we're a vast country full of minerals Our reserves are in the ground n 2023, Canada's gold production reached 198 metric tons, a 2% increase from the previous year and 31% higher than in 2014. Canada is the fourth-largest gold producer in the world, with over 6% of global production in 2022. Gold production in Canada has seen a steady increase over the past decade, with some slight fluctuations in the years 2019, 2020, and 2022. Key Points: Production Trend: Steady increase over the past decade. Significant Provinces: Ontario and Quebec contribute the majority of Canadian gold production. 2023 Production: 198 metric tons. Global Rank: 4th largest producer.

I will follow established science and real doctors and not this guy Celery is fine but not a life saving intervention and as for the Spirit of Compassion 🦇💩🤪 And it's always one extreme to the other with you hard core anti vaccers, You have no idea of my views on the Covid vaccine or my use of them but just assume and try to belittle Thanks
