@RiseUpJC @bruceanderson “Seize” to exist? Is illiteracy part of our heritage? We clearly need more immigrants to improve the gene pool

[Pierre Gratton @GrattonPierre]

@RiseUpJC @bruceanderson In what world are English, French, Irish and Scottish not immigrants?

[Pierre Gratton @GrattonPierre]

@bruceanderson Bruce is right. Canada has been built by immigrants. The politics of immigration in recent years, setting aside the intolerance that hides behind some of it, has not served Canada well in recent years. Mining needs people, lots of people. Immigration would help.

Congratulations to @MarkJCarney on last night’s by-election wins. A majority government will bring important stability to Canada at a critical time in our country’s history. Lots to do. #criticalminerals #trade #arcticsecurity

[Pierre Gratton @GrattonPierre]

If this happens, Canada can kiss its critical minerals strategy goodbye and Quebec will be to blame. Devastating blow. ⁦@timhodgsonmt⁩ ⁦@melaniejoly⁩

Enjoyed an interview with #FutureMineralsForum TV on critical minerals, Canadian #mining and #politics. Should air next week

[Pierre Gratton @GrattonPierre]

Pleased to join Laurel Broten @InvestInCAN and Todd Winterhalt @ExportDevCanada at the #FutureMineralsForum to talk about critical minerals and #mining in Canada

This is great to see. More BHP in Canada is good news for Canada. BHP puts Anglo in ��rearview mirror’ as CEO eyes Canada copper https://t.co/Fhv9iHVTbg

The progress being made on regulatory efficiency since @MarkJCarney became PM is the most I have seen in 25 years in the #mining world. This announcement only tells half the story. https://t.co/Fup4TEuOb4

It has taken too long, but this is a very welcome development. Cooperation on IA/EAs has been missing since 2012, except in BC. Ottawa reaches agreements with Ontario, Manitoba to streamline reviews for major projects - The Globe and Mail https://t.co/GOb8GslvbC

[Pierre Gratton @GrattonPierre]

A pretty sensible take on the options for supporting #criticalminerals development. Ottawa shouldn’t stake a direct claim on critical minerals - The Globe and Mail https://t.co/jUiCp8l5X9

[Pierre Gratton @GrattonPierre]

Fair enough, but if you want more refining, you need more production. It’s declining production that has shut smelters over the past 20 years. Canada's finance minister says critical minerals refining is the 'name of the game' | CBC News https://t.co/DHHLupeLeS

@timhodgsonmt @bruceanderson Canada’s gold story. We can and do build mines here. https://t.co/92etlpxp3C

[Pierre Gratton @GrattonPierre]

Nice to see #mining top of the list of things giving Canadians confidence in their future.

[Pierre Gratton @GrattonPierre]

Oh, and amending the CTM-ITC eligibility threshold for critical minerals to ensure copper is included would also help a lot. So would following through on the Liberals #platform commitments for #mining.

[Pierre Gratton @GrattonPierre]

Tough editorial today. Forget the MPO, the government should start finding ways to communicate the more mundane but meaningful improvements we’re starting to see in permitting in the past 6 months. @MarkJCarney @timhodgsonmt https://t.co/B6SBmbO6l0

[Pierre Gratton @GrattonPierre]

This is the stuff that matters. The majority of mining projects will never be on the MPO list, but if timelines improve as they now seem to be doing, they’ll be a lot more investment coming to Canada in critical minerals, gold and other minerals commodities.
