The map shows three areas of Lake Paul, where is the largest known reserves of phosphorus in Quebec. Source: Arianne Resources Inc.. Potash Corp., the Sagueneens have dodged ... this time!
On November 3, following fierce opposition from Saskatchewan and the opposition headquarters in Ottawa, Prime Minister Stephen Harper decided to block the attempted hostile takeover of global giant extraction and sale of potash by the Australian company BHP Bilton. It is not only the people of Saskatchewan who have dodged this 30-day deferred under this forced decision to padlock; Sagueneens too! Because it would continue to believe that we live on another planet to think that the reserve of phosphorus in Lake Paul (one of the 3 components of fertilizers), whose claims have been recovered by the company Arianne Resources Inc.. Are not in the eye of the Asian tiger who has embraced stock by subsidiaries interposed, to appropriate all that resource as vital and strategic.
For those who do not know, remember that the pool of phosphorus in Lake Paul is located approximately 40 km east of the central Chute-des-Passes and some 160 km from Saint-Ludger de-Milot. For now, the presumed potential coveted by Arianne Corp. totaled some 500 million tons (data Bernard Lapointe Arianne Corp.). At $ 400 per ton, as was already seen at the top of his form is far from the iron Duplessis, 3 cents per ton, however, has contributed greatly to the development of Quebec to the Revolution quiet. And for those who do not know what to do with this heritage, it suffices to say that phosphorus is in modern agriculture is that water in hydro-electricity and oil at Hummer. Without phosphorus (which account for one third of the fertilizer *), agriculture, as we know it today, is no longer valid. And I try not to speculate here on the power it grants bellicose countries like the United States and Russia, as the phosphorus is also essential in military use. After leaving
spun our hydro-eletric power for the benefit of the Hydro-Quebec and Rio-Tinto-Alcan who do not care us and our needs, after having abandoned all our aboriginal title and our royalty on the forest for the benefit of Abitibi-Bowater is put away their pockets leaving us wood chips to burn as a last resort; after blowing our copper, our diamonds and our gold for profit companies boursificotteuses; in this haunting story of depredation of natural resources, and the Saguenéens Jeannois will they let it slip for profiteers people, this strategic resource without posing awkward questions for those who govern us and selling off our resources?? Are we simply
crazy? Or just idiots? ...
To understand how, once again, our future is threatened with these proposed takeover of another natural resource that we have in abundance, I suggest you read the pamphlet Folliet Luke, "Nauru, the island devastated, "published in paperback (140 pages), published by La Découverte / Poche, Paris, 2009-2010. I say no more. As you make the effort. Give you two wee hours of reading, and understand how capitalist civilization has destroyed the richest country in the world. It is the small island of Nauru, a small Pacific Republic South, which in the 1970s, had a standard of living, per capita, surpassing that of the UAE and its neighbors enriched by the black gold, in these years of grace, the GDP exceeded U.S. $ 20 000 capita. Thirty years later, potash finally exhausted, the desolation on that island! Anything goes, the inhabitants flee, the ancient culture has exploded, and people who are awaiting death by feeding on agricultural products ... from elsewhere, for products that have been fattened with their potash ...
akakia
must read for those who failing die impoverished by the fault of governments, do not intend to die totally stupid ... * In the fertilizer known commercially as the "20-20-20, we find, by volume: 1 / 3 + potash third phosphorus + 1 / 3 of nitrogen.
