Let's all write friendly letters to the mines and energy minister of Ecuador, Department of Bribes, Corruption and Rabid Socialist Highjacking.

We should endeavour to explain to him gently that if shareholders don't see any profit in developing properties in Ecuador, then no mining company will put a dime into the country. And Ecuador will stay in the stone age.

Canada however in many ways is not much better. I don't know who is worse, liberals in Canada or communists in Ecuador. Is a 13% diamond royalty in Ontario and doubling oil-sands royalties in Alberta any worse than what Ecuador's mines minister is doing? I wonder. Is threatening to take Voisey Bay away from Inco, banning open pit heap leaching in Montana, weird mine regs in Wisconsin any worse than the shenanigans in Bolivia, narco-terrorists in Peru, and socialismo ransoms in Ecuador? It is perhaps much of the same. Maybe we should mine the sea-bed.

I like Quebec, Guyana, Suriname, Chile and Ghana. Stable.

Strangely not too many investors see it that way.
