Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said if he becomes prime minister he will quickly issue permits to develop a Northern Ontario region rich in critical minerals known as the “Ring of Fire.”
“It would boost our economy with billions of dollars, allowing us to become less dependent on the Americans after we start selling those resources overseas, and it would turn dollars for dictators into paycheques for our people,” Poilievre said during a March 19 press conference in Sudbury, Ont.
