      Yeah seriously. NOW they think we need market regulation, when TOTALLY EVIL COMMIE YELLOW AND RED COUNTRY decides to get into the market. True blooded local Canadian companies can get as shitty as they want and that’s A-OK!

    Meanwhile much of Africa’s minerals are “owned” and extracted by Canadian companies. IIRC there’s also some sort of due diligence process Canadian regulators do when a foreign investor buys a significant portion of a company.

    That couldn’t possibly be problematic though, African nations sold those mineral rights of their own accord and the people want to work in horrific conditions for little or no pay. /s
