Carney Let China Buy Canada’s Critical Mining Companies! Smart Move?

Stephen LeDrew speaks with Dean Baxendale, CEO of Optimum Publishing and an expert in foreign affairs, about China’s growing influence over Canada’s critical minerals and economic sovereignty.As the world shifts toward green energy and advanced technology, control of certain minerals has become a strategic priority. But China already dominates the sector — controlling roughly 70% of global supply and nearly 90% of processing.Baxendale warns that Canada, despite having significant natural resources, is allowing foreign state-linked enterprises to extract raw materials while the real value — processing and manufacturing — occurs overseas.He also raises concerns about economic subversion, pricing manipulation, and how China uses resource control as leverage against global powers.With Mark Carney claiming that he is positioning Canada for global economic leadership, the question becomes whether Canada is protecting its resources — or giving them away.And with Donald Trump and the United States increasingly focused on supply chains and security, could Canada face pressure from its closest ally if it fails to act?
