    The ring of fire is mining, which is required for EV, which is the “green” industry of the future they are always talking about. We build lithium batteries for EV and renewable usage; which displaces oil usage, which removes smog, and hopefully should be more efficient in the long term.

    Indigenous have their hands out for free cash as they always do, and that kills this industry like it does everything else in Canada. Hence why we are second to last in per capita GDP growth in the entire OECD. How poor do we need to be before some cynicism kicks in and we stop cosplaying, this is peoples livelihoods we’re wrecking.

      We can build mines for EVs without disrespecting indigenous rights and ignoring environmental concerns that future generations will pay the price for.
