As a conflict fueled by climate change, the international arms trade and a Libyan civil war enters its fifth year, Canada's Back™ and as many as 250 members of the Canadian military will see action in the northwest African nation of Mali by late summer. But is there a connection between seemingly selfless international peacekeeping involvement and Canadian gold mining investment? On this episode, Jamie Kneen of MiningWatch Canada and host Andre Goulet explore Canada's out-sized role in the international mining industry and examine the myths and contradictions of Canadian peacekeeping.
Plus: how Bill C-69, the Liberal government's attempt at federal environmental review process reform, fails to deliver on promises of respect for Indigenous rights, evidence-based decision-making and combating climate change.
