Indigenous and campesino communities in Cuenca, Ecuador met with Canadian ambassador Craig Kowalik yesterday. They delivered a clear message: NO Canada-Ecuador Free Trade Agreement, and NO to Canadian mining in the Kimsakocha páramo.

“Karen Hamilton, director of the human rights watchdog Above Ground, said Canadian companies should cease doing business with ICE, which she said has displayed ‘obvious signs of human rights abuses.’ ” @thestar.com www.thestar.com/business/mor...

“It raises really, really serious concerns that a [Canadian] company doing business with ICE is going to be enabling abuses, and is going to be conducting operations that facilitate those abuses continuing." - Aidan Gilchrist-Blackwood from our counterpart, @cnca-rcrce.bsky.social

Over a dozen Canadian companies have done business with ICE amid ongoing reports of serious human rights abuse, reports @thestar.com's Estella Ren. Gaps in Canadian law enable abuses like this and make it very difficult to hold our companies accountable. www.thestar.com/business/mor...

Article | Depuis son élection, Mark Carney a multiplié les rencontres avec le monde des affaires et adopté des lois favorisant le secteur privé. L'examen des relations qu’il a pu nouer au fil de sa carrière, notamment dans le secteur financier, permet d'expliquer en partie ces choix.
