The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday, Jan. 27, edition that miners, energy producers and other manufacturers are tapping the United States government for capital and clients while remaining proudly, if quietly, Canadian. The Globe's Andrew Willis writes that for example, Vancouver-based Lithium Americas saw its stock price soar last October when the U.S. Department of Energy took a 5-per-cent interest in the company, which is building a massive mine in Nevada. For all of President Donald Trump's threats to put Canada's economy in the penalty box, domestic companies are consistently scoring major U.S. contracts and investments. The simple lesson is that being essential to Americans allows chief executive officers to largely ignore the President's tantrums.
