"An attempt to revalue the gold reserve to today's value has met resistance for different reasons. For example, Canada is against the idea of revaluing the reserve, as it may be a prelude to selling the gold on the open market and therefore depressing its price."

On the one hand, Canada, by selling almost it's entire gold holdings (to the U.S. likely) at lower prices, has shown it has no faith in gold.

On the other hand, Canada says it's concerned for it's mining industry if the gold price decreases. What a contradiction.

Why in the world didn't Canada support it's mining industry by at least holding, if not building, it's gold reserves instead of building it's U.S. dollar reserves.
