    They are called rare Earth elements, but they don’t really rare. They are just not well distributed.

    For example magnesite is a rare earth element, yet it’s so abundantly available it’s often sold as a cheap toy.

      Canada is too regulated to anything.

    Does that mean China will buy everything and only hire foreign workers.
