Australian company to buy Arctic Canadian Diamond Company's assetsAn Australian company is set to buy all of Arctic Canadian Diamond Company Ltd.'s assets, including the Ekati diamond mine in the Northwest Territories. Makes me nervous. We had an Australian (still maybe do) who wants to rip up Eastern Slopes of the Rockies to dig coal At what benefit to ABns who rely on the water quality coming fr that area? Or the scars that will be there for yonks. Wld prefer Cdn resources developed for Cdns. Natural resources should only be owned by full Canadian owed companies Does Canada own anything anymore? I lived in a mining community and the folks trying to get in there were all Australian as well. Does anyone have any idea how much we buy local is made locally? I think some politicians sold us down the river. Does anyone know who that was?
