So why did the Canadian government ramp up their support for an unelected government that was showing themselves to be increasingly more repressive and undemocratic? Maria Cueva of the Quebec-Peru Solidarity Committee provided North Star with an explanation:
“Currently, [Canada] has mining companies that operate there, and the government also sells arms to Peru. That’s the point of interest, because we have lots and lots of minerals. That’s why they continued their support. And Pedro Castillo’s government didn’t want to renew the contracts. With Dina Boluarte, they have been renewed. That’s it. And the people don’t want the mines because they contaminate the whole environment, their territory.”
What a preposterous statement. Off the top of my head: Canada is currently failing to stop the export of lethal equipment to Israel, clearly supporting human rights abuses in Occupied Palestine in that case
Your men trump and putin are losing.
Ugh, what a dumb, lazy comment. I’ve identified myself as being opposed to colonial genocide, and you think I back Trump and Putin?! That doesn’t even make sense. Is that an “everyone who disagrees with me is a bot or paid foreign actor” take, or a transplant of the “it’s verboten to criticize the Dems over the inaction in Gaza” take from US politics?
Do you believe YOU’RE the only one entitled to spew ridiculous hyperbole? Have you ever suggested Hamas terrorists should surrender for prosecution? If not, you can’t be taken seriously.
