How Canada’s critical minerals push may spur hundreds of thousands of jobs

By Ari Rabinovitch –  Global News

Canada may have barely scratched the surface when it comes to mining critical minerals, and a new report suggests developing those resources could potentially create thousands of new jobs and help bolster the Canadian economy amid trade disruptions with the United States.

From electric vehicles to infrastructure and housing development, plus a new commitment by the federal government to increase defence spending to meet new NATO targets, demand for critical minerals is expected to continue to rise, and more job creation will likely be a part of that expansion.
