Canada has the REE potential
Canada has the potential to be a large supplier of the highly-valuable rare-earth metals, and help reduce the worlds reliance on the Communist state. And while government intervention is generally not a good thing, this is a case where a significant government investment could kick-start a massive industry that is important not only economically, but from a national-defence perspective. Rare earths are a key part of many advanced defence systems, and making use of our own supply would make us less vulnerable. The rising tensions between China and much of the Western World is a great opportunity for Canada to develop a key strategic resource, create jobs, and boost our economy now, and for the long-term. https://www.spencerfernando.com/2019/05/28/with-communist-china-threatening-rare-earth-export-restrictions-canada-should-utilize-our-own-immense-potential-rare-earth-resources/
