My understanding is that all the bauxite used to produce aluminum in Canada is imported. The article you linked to is confusing -- they talk about "mining" but they are clearly talking about the manufacture of aluminum
You are correct, it's all imported. If I could retract that earlier post I would.
That link, and many others, obfuscate this fact about the bauxite. I though by referencing multiple sources, which I typically do, I would have found the truth of the matter. I don't know why they 'lie' about this? Perhaps it's Green Washing, they don't want the public to think about how much oil is spent getting the ore there. I imagine that takes the shine off the "Green Hydro" aluminium produced. We're talking about Rio Tinto here, they are Satan's Spawn, a global strip mining octopus.
