I've read this thread with interest, my viewpoints have been expressed various times.

I don't like a cherry-picker discussion but this statement really caught my attention, in that it referred to doing homework and stated a falsehood.

Zinc is by no means Canada's largest export. Granted, until recently Canada was the world's largest producer of zinc. China now produces significantly more zinc than Canada, and Australia is pretty much on par.
