Canada has 220,000 tonnes of Cobalt deposits.

Yeah, but a bird might die and Trudeau couldn't stand the shame. /s

It is not just Africa. The lithium mines in South America are pretty nasty too.

The late, great Phil Ochs had them nailed in his song, Love Me, I'm a Liberal.

Even a communist revolutionary like Ochs couldn't miss the reality about SJWs.

As he described them, "Ten degrees to the left of center in good times, ten degrees to the right of center if it affects them personally".

Uh, duh. The Chinese give zero fvcks about Human rights, but it doesn’t fit the narrative that The West is racist and evil, and just wants to go back to owning slaves.

So... No, you won’t hear about it.

This news was reported more than a year ago and nothing has been done.

Well at least the tree huggers can sleep better knowing there was no mine allowed on US soil because of the endangered speckled three striped mouse.
