1. There's an expression "As fake as Canadian Diamonds"

don't be fooled!

2. But there are Canadian diamonds...

and they're better quality than the South African variety.

Don't be fooled; but be informed...

3. I've heard about this

I knew De Beers was looking into it (and now with the Russian lab-grown diamonds, they'll probably be looking into even more) but I hope the Canadian govt. tells them to fu*k themselves.

Oddly enough there is a pipe here in the US, in Arkansas.

4. The most recent news I read

(a few weeks ago in the Washington Post), was that a diamond mine was on property to be given to indigenous people of the Northwest Territory. I hope this resource serves them well...
