Are critical minerals over-hyped?

from Cost of Living

A lot of people are calling critical minerals a major opportunity for Canada, but we explain why their real benefit may be more strategic than economic. We ask why the price of toilet paper is so d@#m hard to figure out and talk to author David Thomas about his new biography of Prem Watsa — the richest, savviest Canadian you've never heard of who is behind one of Canada's most successful companies.
