our mining companies are out of control.

so, this is much called for, as a preliminary step. i've argued in the past that we should be using the rome convention to prosecute human rights abuses...and there are stories of villages being burned down, mass rape, just horrific behaviour....

as this is tied into the country's image, and the prime minister is greatly concerned about this, it's difficult to tell if this is serious or not. you'd assume it isn't, a priori, but it's actually in a priority zone for the pmo. at least the government is recognizing that there is a serious problem with how canadian mining businesses, especially, are conducting themselves overseas.
