Canada should follow the lead of the Heads of Government of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) who spoke out in October expressing ‘unequivocal support’ for sovereignty, territorial integrity and maintaining the Caribbean region as a Zone of Peace.

Canadian organizations with decades of experience and partnerships in the Americas sent a letter to @anitaoakvilleeast.bsky.social, @manindersidhu.bsky.social, Minister McGuinty urging them to protect the rule of law, sovereignty and security in Latin America and the Caribbean. bit.ly/3K03kv9

'Canada' will not respect the Xinka people's veto, not whatsoever, but they certainly should—as they should respect sovereign Indigenous peoples' veto on 'major projects' that build this stolen, illegitimate nation.

Canadian mining companies have gone under the radar for too long here. Some pretty significant abuses have happened in S.America.
