Excellent article, with excellent comments from Nikki Skuce. “Our critical minerals strategy is full of so many holes,” Skuce said. “It’s just being used as a tool to push for more mining, whether it’s for gold to sit in the basement of a bank or a rare earth element to be used in an F-35.”

Xinka leaders are visiting Toronto next week. They have been fighting Canadian mining company Pan American Silver's attack on Indigenous self-determination Don't miss this event at York University on Thurs Sept 18!

Governments across Canada are rewriting the rules to fast-track projects and silence public input. Ecojustice is sounding the alarm on Bills 5, 15, and C-5 — three power grabs that put nature, democracy, and Indigenous rights at risk. #cdnpoli #Ecojustice

"With roughly 60 percent of the world’s mining companies headquartered in Canada, the federal government has long operated as an enabler of corporate power abroad, often at the expense of environmental stewardship and democratic decision-making in the Global South."

I recommend reading this report by Dr. Suliman Baldo @SulimanBaldo and Ahmed Soliman on gold and the war in Sudan. It demonstrates that most of the gold extracted from Sudan is ending up in the UAE, including gold mined in SAF controlled areas. www.chathamhouse.org/sites/defaul...

Help MISN support land defenders! We are looking for donations to our impacted community fund to support mining impacted communities globally.

"While the bill does acknowledge a duty to consult Indigenous peoples if their rights “may be adversely affected,” it does not define how that consultation must occur. There is no requirement to consult [...] unless impacts on rights are explicitly triggered."

NEW: After a historic Indigenous consultation process, the Xinka people of Guatemala have said NO to Vancouver-based Pan American Silver’s Escobal mine. Canada must respect their decision, not undermine it, writes @ubcic.bsky.social‬ President Grand Chief Stewart Phillip.

"The historical alliance between Canadian mining corporations and the Guatemalan government has allowed for systematic killing with impunity, promoting a culture of silence and community fracturing in El Estor. Mata Asencio is the first to be killed for resisting mining in neighbouring Livingston."

Canada tabled sweeping legislation today to increase border security, incl powers to cancel or suspend immigration docs immediately, and huge crack downs on asylum applications While Canadians can feel smug about their nationalism in this tarriff-trade war, it's a pretext for anti-migrant control.

Misael Mata Asencio, a defender of Maya Q'eqchi' territory in Guatemala, was killed on May 14, just days after he participated in a hike to look at exploratory mining drilling holes linked to a Canadian company focused on critical minerals: pbicanada.org/2025/05/20/m... #PBIaccompanies

Ecuador's new trade deal with Canada isn't just controversial—it's a conflict of interest. President Noboa's family has major stakes in Canadian mining while the FTA includes investor protections banned by Ecuador's constitution.

Expiry dates and reevaluation requirements are too rare and weak in impact assessment, but they even more important in the context of climate chaos. "The project was approved more than a decade ago. Hunters say a lot has changed since then." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
