And then...

Here we are.

A couple of points about Kuzma.

Donald Trump can say, and nobody will know what he really means about Kuzma,

until one of two things happened.

The United States issued a six-month notice to say that they are bailing out of Kuzma.

They can do that, and that's the end of it, except that those six months, I would predict, will be really hard and rocky in the United States, because at that point, a notice like that from the administration would gel mines in the too-silent areas

business constituency that wants Kuzma to continue, but that is not saying anything.

The other option, and that's why there's no clarity on that statement, the other option is the deadline comes, there's no notice issued, and then we are going, there's no, this isn't like Cinderella, no one's going to turn into a pumpkin on July 1st.

It just means that it moves Kuzma in yearly reviews for a decade, which is way beyond, even in our best imagination, the Trump tenure and the consequences of all that uncertainty.

But as for the ambassador's comments,

I had a bit of sympathy for him this week, trying to paint something that seems to say black into something white.

But his notion that Canada should get in sales mode, that's exactly what Mark Carney did when he went to New York in that speech, which was to open up other horizons on aluminum, on critical minerals.

The word Kuzma wasn't in there.

It was here are all those things we could still be doing and that you are better off doing.

But I don't believe there's a singularity of you in the administration over the future of Kuzma.

And that's why increasingly we're getting conflicting signals.

But as you know, in that administration, the last word belongs to Kuzma.

guess who, who may or may not decide that he's done with it because that's the more exciting thing to do that day.

I knew you would do that.
