I agree with the other guy, this sounds sus. Steel, copper? I think we got that. Lithium too. Sure some small battery stuff we may need Africa, South America.

In October 1940, Canada instituted a copper export ban that applied to the United States, except under certain conditions, like U.S. entities fulfilling munitions contracts for Allied countries.

Lol because Canada was at war and the US was not. The US didn't enter the war until Dec 1941. But this article wants to bitch about us (Canada) not sending our resources to neutral countries while we were at war? Lolol.
