Typo on that last part. Canada can buy mined gold if we have to.
with borrowed money?
you do not catch on very quickly do you?
Anyways, I just don't think gold is that important any longer. Oil, water and the American dollar are right now. Silver is probably more useful than gold.
the exact same logic applies to oil
any oil belongs to the oil companies
the federal govt would have to borrow in the bond market to obtain oil.... to sell to pay down debt ?????
do you not see the problem with your theory?
same with silver
water ??
the only real customer for Canadian water is the US
if the US wants water , they can pump as much as is needed from the great lakes and there is nothing we could to stop them
your natural response is to name a water treaty
my response is CUSMA
the federal govt does receive royalties on both gold and oil
but the federal govt has spent the last decade trying to shut down our resources industries
and now they are layering more carbon taxes on the resource sector
it takes private capital to get gold and oil/ gas out of the ground and it takes lots of private capital
private capital the liberal party of Canada is bound and determined to scare away
the liberal party of Canada put ideological globalists agenda ahead of the best interests of Canadians and borrowed what will become 3/4 of a trillion dollars in the name of Canadians
that is not just incompetence
