Wow thats an eye opener, our politicians should be ashamed of what they have turned a vibrant mining industry into. Canada has vast untapped Natural resourses, we should be should be first on this list, right up there with the open, progresive minded Fins.

If our leaders had any type of vision Canada would be the richest country in the world with the lowest taxes of any first world country, all Canadians would prosper.

We could invest in new technologies to extract our resources efficently, with zero impact to the enviroment. We have it all !!!!
