🇨🇦 Ottawa wants critical minerals, just not mines

The absurdity writes itself: provinces are begging Ottawa to expand a mining tax credit because the same federal class that lectures Canadians about batteries, EVs and the green transition has made actually extracting the minerals a bureaucratic hostage situation. As reported, provincial ministers want the mineral exploration tax credit broadened to cover mine development, not just exploration. Translation: Canada has rocks, demand and strategic need, but Trudeau-era policy still treats domestic production like a guilty secret.

This is what globalist governance looks like in practice: surrender resource power, then pretend subsidies can patch over sabotage. Ottawa loves talking about supply chains while kneecapping the one country that should control its own. Provinces understand the obvious point the federal capital never does: sovereignty is not a DEI panel and it is not another climate sermon. It is permits, investment, roads, refining and getting Canadian minerals out of Canadian ground before Washington or Beijing decides our industrial future for us.
