Can't agree more, very stupid decision from the Carney government!
There is significant UAE investment in Canadian fossil fuels and the PM is looking for more $$. As countries pull out of investment treaties—due to the liabilities they create for the climate transition—Canada is going the other direction on #ISDS. Stupid.

Vancouver-based Pan American Silver has been outright ignoring the Xinka People's decision to call for the definitive closure of its Escobal silver mine in Guatemala as the culimination of a seven-year long consultation process. It's time for the company to acknowledge and respect their clear "no"
Today, a group of citizens delivered a petition to mining company Pan American Silver's HQ in Vancouver, demanding the company respect the self-determination of the Xinka Indigenous people and close the Escobal mine in southeastern Guatemala.

This "no" is not negotiable. A Guatemalan court ordered the government to consult with the Xinka People over the future of Pan American Silver's Escobal mine. This May, the Xinka People said no to the reopening of the mine and called for it to be closed permanently.
