Canadian politics is treading some rough waters these days. But there are a few bright spots of consensus where all sides can agree. One of these is around economic reconciliation: the restoration of prosperity to Indigenous communities through creating space and opportunity in the Canadian economy.
Iranian president Ebrahim Raisi's 'life is at risk' after he was involved in a helicopter crash near the border with Azerbaijan.

At the time, the opening of a small rare earths mine in the Northwest Territories in 2021 was heralded as an important step in breaking China’s monopoly over this strategic commodity. Rare earths are used in everything from electric vehicles and cell phones to wind turbines and jet engines. China currently extracts more than 60 per cent of rare earth elements and processes as much as 90 per cent of global supply. The case of Vital Metals and the Nechalacho mine show just how far it’s willing to go to maintain a stranglehold on the rare earths market. What was once a hopeful story is now a cautionary tale.

Having faced the most powerful nation(s) on earth on multiple occasions in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries, we now find ourselves engulfed in unchecked tyranny within our own borders. And yet, we pretend it all works. It's just politics.
What is it we are waiting for? Certainly not a shoe. Here we are, waiting for the shoe to drop off.
