Canada's international mining companies are some of the worst assholes ever. They've bought out our lawmakers to the point that foreign nations have zero recourse when we've polluted their land and water.

Agreed. It reminds me of a headline I read in the last 48 hours about UK chemicals - pesticides, I think - that are banned for use in the UK, but UK companies manufacture them domestically and export them.

Both corporate-mediated colonialism. Like traditional colonialism, except profits never enter the public purse of the colonizing country, instead going purely to corporations.

It's really sinister. What a boring, cruel timeline.
