(AB canucks, this is a joke. Please don't get mad at me. If you still do, I apologize.)
Washington and Oregon at least are part of the West Coast, and I don't know how much Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, and the Dakotas would complain. Outside of urban areas the country seems to be pretty red regardless of where you go, and those states are definitely not known for being very urban.
If Canada got rid of FPTP, proportional representation and ranked voting across all its provinces (Texas and Florida would become provinces) and federation (get rid of the monarchy), Florida and Texas would be much less of an issue.
For sure. That said PR isn't a panacea. It solves a legitimate issue but it doesn't solve the orthogonal and serious problem of democracy's tendency to represent large capital.
Is Canada that big on charities? I know theyâre well known as being pleasant and kind, but are they so pleasant and kind that theyâd accept a catastrophically bankrupt welfare country as their own?
For sure. If the US goes the length of annexing Canada or part thereof without the consent of most Canadians, then there's little point conceding electoral power to the undoubtedly indignant population.
We need a government with the balls to nationalize this shit, and charge for every single gram that's being extracted. And do the same with every other natural resource, including oil.
Great! Letâs sell this off to multinationals ASAP so we can accelerate pillaging the land without consultation, outsource the jobs and ensure the fewest Canadians benefit from the windfall.

Ah! Someone who's familiar with Alberta oil & gas extraction.
This isnât gold. The value comes from the extraction part. Thatâs the really expensive and dirty part. Itâs like salt in the ocean: insanely abundant but prohibitively expensive to extract.
It's funny cause it's true. Trump wants to invade Greenland and Canada; it's not just because he's a piece of shit dictator. He's after resources for his cronies.
I know there's been lots of headlines in the past like OMG there's not enough lithium! It's never been true.
It's one of the most abundant elements out there, it's everywhere. It was always more about what reserves we knew about, but when what we knew about wasn't going to be enough, people go looking, and it's abundant.
Also the more uses there are for it, the more profitable it is to extract from these methods and the better we get at it, the cheaper it is to extract, which further opens up even more options.
I don't actually remember any articles that claimed there were lithium shortages in that there isn't enough on the planet, but rather that China is the only country with a working supply chain.
Then it's all over the world in other areas in higher concentrations like in brines (the easiest way for us to get it) or clays, and there's over 200 billion tons of it in the ocean. Granted the ocean stuff would take some figuring out how to get, but it's a ridiculous amount.
Whenever we go looking for it, we keep finding vast reserves of it.
Edit: for the sea water stuff, capturing it as a side product of desalination or a next step in desalination might be a starting way to begin extracting it without massively increasing costs as some of the costs will already be part of desalination, which could help bring desalination costs down via another revenue stream.
Wow, that's a better abundance than I thought - I guess it really concentrates here - although still not that impressive. The major natural source of it and it's friends beryllium and boron is literally the nature particle accelerators out there in the cosmos, and the collisions they create, for example in our upper atmosphere.
The rest goes under "things other than abundance", which I did mention. Bismuth is a cheap element because it concentrates itself in veins and has limited applications, despite being comparably rare to silver. At the other end titanium is more common than all forms of carbon put together but is an absolute PITA to concentrate into metal and then manufacture into products.
Lithium is quite rare. Essentially all the lithium that exists was created at the big bang, and since then the total supply has been diminishing with each generation of stars - they fuse lithium into heavier elements.
A key reason why Canada ships its oil, lumber, and minerals elsewhere for processing is because there is a human cost to processing these things that moat people don't want to pay.
Also, where clean processing is possible it makes processed materials cost-prohibitive when you can just buy the stuff from jurisdictions where health and environmental laws are lax or non-existent and you can process however you like.
Well, tax the dirty processors and eliminate them from the supply chain, you might suggest! That's not easier either, see eliminating forced labour from the supply chain as an example.
I'm not saying nothing should or could be done about Canada's extraction-only economy, just that it isn't as easy it may appear at first glance.
Well, we've figured it on things like canola (crush for oil), peas (fractionation plants), lumber (sawmills) and cattle (packing plants). Those have pretty much been in spite of ourselves, not because, as they've flourished when we've had trade wars with the US/China (or BSE as the case may be).
We just need a nice crippling tariff on raw lithium and we'll invest in making batteries. Maybe an export tariff for anything that heads to the US, and funnel that to startup some competition to CATL. The amount of human labor a LFP plant uses is pretty minimal. It would give us all those high-tech retraining positions I keep hearing about we're going to get any day now.
The federal and Ontario governments have said repeatedly that they want to build a lithium battery industry. I worry we are arriving too late now that Sodium Ion is upon us but I am probably being too pessimistic.
None of that depends on this deposit specifically though. Canada already has lots of Lithium reserves. Much of it is in the same district as this. Of course this could end up being the biggest and truly be âthe anchorâ I suppose.
Who tf is downvoting? Is sarcasm that hard to figure out? Use your context clues, this Lemmy, without a single MAGAt in sight to be saying this in earnest. đ
Thanks. Honestly I was just excited to nerd out about geology, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised this website I've never seen before does clickbait.

Please, I would like to see chain-of-custody third party samples before jumping to conclusions.
Other than Canadian investors and mining as a general theme, I cannot think of a single reason to link the two stories.
Also, BreX never claimed âinexhaustibleâ anything and was certainly not âthe last timeâ for anything either.
Canada has more mining companies and mining investment than any country in the world. These kinds of discoveries are common-place. There have been many, many discoveries and success stories in the decades since BreX.
And this is just another Lithium deposit. Not the biggest in the world and probably not even the biggest in the James Bay district.
I hope this doesn't ruin peoples lifes. And if it affects anyone in Canada, I hope their revisit those laws on environmental pollution. There's a reason why all the mining companies are in that country. Ecocide in third world countries is driven by that "blind spot" in their laws and I'm certain the majority of canadians don't have the least idea of their complicity.
