How Canada's Mining Industry is Destroying the Planet
written by Press Release
Path of Destruction: Canadian Mining Companies Around the World
by Asad Ismi and Kristin Schwartz
Asad Ismi and Kristin Schwartz host a three-part documentary about the global devastation spread by Canadian mining companies. 
 
 
 
Canada is the world's leading mining nation. Sixty percent of all public mining companies are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange. About half of all mining capital is raised in Canada. Many Canadian mining companies have become notorious for damaging communities and the environment and fueling wars and repression all over the world.
 
The Canadian government has refused to hold these corporations accountable leading to international criticism of Canada.
 

Just as European settlers created Canada by stealing and plundering native land, its mining companies today continue these practices at home and abroad. This colonialism and neocolonialism is what Canada is all about.
