Washington buying stakes in Canadian mines creates national-security dilemma for Ottawa - as the U.S. secures access to Canada's rare minerals - and further erodes our sovereignty.

Will Mark Carney's liberals stop this blatant interference?

The Ontario & Canadian governments loaned Stellantis money in the past. Some of that debt was written off.

That debt should be reinstated & a lien placed on Stellantis’ assets in Canada. Seizure of assets for non-payment of debt!

Now, your question most likely pulls up 1,500 words of AI clickbait, and doesn’t answer anything.
