In the spring of 2025, a heavy cloud rolled in. A 50% tariff was tossed onto Canadian aluminium, with the folks down south thinking it would force our hand. They figured we’d fold, that we’d be stuck, and that their factories would be the only ones standing. But here’s the thing about Canadians: we’re resilient, we’re smart, and we don’t sit around waiting for the weather to change. We just get to work.

Here’s the thing: the world is changing fast, and energy is the new currency. Canada has the goods—the lithium, the graphite, the stuff that makes the modern world tick. We’ve got it in our soil, under our feet. But instead of just letting it sit there, we’re now moving it into the hands of our friends.
