Canada didn't. It'd be a primary reason for the US to go stupid and try invading us, we're a much closer source of rare earths.

Australia is the only other major exporter, apart from China, at 15% of global supply. I have never heard of Canada producing significant quantites?

Lot of discovery going on but not a lot of production yet but is estimated to be done of the largest reserves globally. The fact the minerals are here gives these idiots one more reason tokeep pushing this 51st rhetoric.
