The Canadian embassy in Ecuador must recognize the widescale criminalization of rights defenders at the hands of Canadian mining in Ecuador and its responsibility to promote the protection of rights defenders. No FTA with investor protections over rights protection! @miningwatch.bsky.social
The people of Cuba face a dire humanitarian crisis that has worsened in the wake of U.S. President Donald Trump’s threats to impose tariffs on any nation that exports oil to Cuba. Tell Anita Anand @anitaoakvilleeast.bsky.social and your MP to act now! => bit.ly/4sdvEum
Fronteras Comunes se une a organizaciones hondureñas e internacionales para denunciar el regreso a un sistema que prioriza los intereses corporativos sobre la soberanía nacional, los derechos colectivos, el interés público, el medio ambiente y el pueblo hondureño.
Common Frontiers joins Honduran and international organizations to denounce the return to a system that prioritizes corporate interests over national sovereignty, collective rights, the public interest, the environment, and the Honduran people.
NEW: On the heels of U.S. intervention in Honduran elections, IPS joins Honduran partners and international allies to denounce a return to a system meant to maximize protections for investors to the detriment of the Honduran people. #StopISDS
Statement:

"Canada..is formally opposed to the decades-long U.S. blockade" of Cuba. Put that opposition into practice! @mark-carney.bsky.social must act in concert with regional allies to defy the US blockade on Cuba, ship Canadian oil! Great work @policyalternatives.ca

A crystal clear demonstration that Canadian Aris Mining is negatively impacting the water in the Santurban Paramo in Colombia. And yet another example of the critically important work of water and environmental defenders!
@mark-carney.bsky.social: you have been told by Indigenous communities and organizations in Ecuador: The Canada-Ecuador FTA will absolutely harm Ecuador's communities and the environment. Please listen! This could be your moment to actually create a 'new world order' - not just spin empty rhetoric.
Remember, PM Carney has promised to impose a massive expansion of "critical minerals" mining for armaments manufacturing/profiteering in order to fulfil his commitment to NATO's astonishing new 5%-of-GDP arms spending targets. But he can't afford to fund housing, health care, or education.
As a member of the Americas Policy Group, we join @apgopa.bsky.social and @commonfrontiers.bsky.social in urging Canada to oppose U.S. threats to rights, sovereignty and peace in #Venezuela and the Americas. www.apg-gopa.com/statementsle...
Carrizalillo community members demand @EquinoxGoldCorp meet them half-way, pay them fairly for occupying their land or properly close the Los Filos mine. They urge @claudiasheinbaum.bsky.social to ensure the 🇨🇦 company respect the law. bit.ly/4sOSeLb
We joined our allies across the hemisphere in repudiating the Trump administration's interference in Honduras, Venezuela and its threats to the hemisphere. Canada must not remain silent!
Two coalitions comprising over two dozen civil society orgs just sent this letter to @mark-carney.bsky.social urging him to condemn the unlawful, lethal, U.S. military attack in Venezuela and take immediate steps to ensure peace and security in the region. tinyurl.com/2u79mues
While leaders across the Americas have condemned U.S. aggression against Venezuela, Canada has failed to even mention the attack. Violations of the UN Charter and international law must be unequivocally condemned. @apgopa.bsky.social @wbwcanada.bsky.social tinyurl.com/rxkc4jwb
Please consider sending this letter to the Canadian government in response to U.S. aggression in Latin America - via @commonfrontiers.bsky.social.

Incredible show of support by faith-based organizations AROUND THE WORLD for the important work of Salvadorans fighting to protect clean water and the environment.
Governments must be able to make decisions that protect the environment without fear that they will be sued by Canadian mining companies. Ecuadorians have been loud and clear that they stand by their country's constitutional protection against international arbitration.
A key Bill tabled tomorrow aims to close dangerous gaps in Canada’s arms export laws that allow Canadian-made weapons parts to be shipped through the U.S. to Gaza, Latin America, Caribbean, and beyond. 📢Read this new report and take action! @wbwcanada.bsky.social armsembargonow.ca/nomoreloopholes
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.
We urge Canada to suspend Operation CARIBBE and its Memorandum of Understanding with the U.S. to avoid any risk of Canadian intelligence being used in unlawful, lethal attacks.
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
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.

Respect people's rights over corporate rights! As Ecuadorians head into a November 16 referendum on constitutional protections, Canada must stop promoting investor protections that threaten human rights. shorturl.at/qdBM1 @miningwatch.bsky.social @policyalternatives.ca @lughiotto.bsky.social
Corporate rights are being prioritized in the Canada-Ecuador Free Trade Agreement. Read this brief on how these rights are promoted by Canadian mining companies and how they violate the Ecuadorian constitution. Another brilliant @lughiotto.bsky.social paper!
"Motivations of the current president are under particular scrutiny because his family...has significant investments in multiple mining operations at a time Canada and the South American country are moving to finalize a Free Trade Agreement."
The Canada-Ecuador FTA which was negotiated largely behind closed doors will open the flood gates to more Canadian mining in Ecuador, despite clear, wide-scale opposition and deep concern for the negative impacts on water and the environment by the Canadian companies already operating there.
