These shortages won't go on for too long before China will step out and buy a coal mining company to secure supply.

Not sure but I heard Kenney just sold some of Alberta's parks to either China or Australia coal mining company for strip mining so either they will mine there own or buy from Australia but will be cheap Canadian coal. Hope it is just rumor tho.

To rob a phrase.
When one man freezes its a tragedy.
A million a statistic.

The Chinese are capable of far more than we are able to comprehend.
I suggest Chuck be sent as emissary by Trudeau immediately.

..."A “coal rush” in the province (Alberta) could see at least six new or expanded open-pit coal mines built up and down the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains, mostly by Australian companies. Together, these projects could industrialize as much as 1,000 sq km of forests, waterways and grasslands."...

..."It (UPC) rescinded the 1976 coal mining policy without public consultation, after spending months wooing Australian coal companies. It also reduced the corporate tax rate from 10 to 8%, axed provincial parks in coal-rich areas, offered 1% royalties (Australia’s is a minimum of seven), and passed legislation to fast-track project approvals."...

Oh, I am so hurt! Makes me wonder what you think of Albertans who support the Kenney government plan for selling Alberta coal to Australian companies for one-seventh of the royalty that those same companies have to pay Australian residents for Australian coal, especially when that coal will be used to displace Australian coal (and related coal mining jobs) shipped to China.

DML dunno its murkey.

Guess we agree to disagree dml.

Theres also been some tweaks to foreign ownership laws in oz got passed through parliament a few weeks back dont know details no real interest but that irked china or chinese investors no end.

Now china has come out with vieled threats to our wool industry.

Thats one is gonna be interesting as we produce about 85 to 90% of worlds wool. There gonna get cold without woolen garmets but my balance wont like it either.

Off the record comments apparently by Chinese diplomats if PM retracts statements and WTO talks they may come to the table for discussions.

Standoff.

Quite a few farmers want our trade back at whatever cost.

Flip that around nithing to stopmthem from doing it again and again when suits them

[malleefarmer]

And the often used term “to protect chininese” industry or bussiness.

What they mean is protect chinese state run bussiness not much free enterprise there.

Another thing we did was to condem issues in hong kongva few months back or start of year was it.

They kicked all our reporters out of china.

We should all be happy thankful we live in Australia canada or any free country

[malleefarmer]

Oh and PS i dont really wish death and misery upon chinese people thats a bit nasty.

Just antsy here this morning.
