No, Hutch - it's the fact that our glorious leaders are putting all their faith in paper.
And somebody else's paper, at that.

So they 'made a gain' of 19mil; fin.gc.ca

... or such they call it. They could have 'made' the same gain just by marking it to market. Anyway, line it up against the foreign currency debt of 458mil and it doesn't look so hot.
Or against 'Official Government Operations' [rofl] at 140mil.

Think what an influence they could have on mining by reversing this stupid policy and starting to build real reserves again. This country was two years ago well on the way to being the planetary centre of mining finance. Like we need some Newparadigmer Paperpeople running the bank.

Twenty years ago we had more than an ounce per capita. Now it's less than one tenth of an ounce. No wonder we call it a loonie.

They're sick, I tell you. Sick - and we can't vote them out, they're bureaucrats.
