Most People Don't Realize Mark Carney Just Said "No" To The US (The Monopsony Trap)

 

 

US Ambassador Pete Hoekstra wanted a "bigger deal" on critical minerals. He got a polite but firm "No" from Mark Carney. Why? Because Carney spotted the trap. 

 

Most people saw a diplomatic spat. We saw a calculated rejection of a "Monopsony"—a market rigged by a single buyer to drive down prices. By refusing to lock Canada's lithium and cobalt into an exclusive American supply chain, Carney isn't just protecting resources; he is preserving Canada's leverage in a resource-starved world.
