Canada is a prolific mining country, hosting many of the world's top mining corporations. Some of its extraction is local - for example, Saskatchewan is the world's largest producer of potash, a critical agricultural nutrient. Much of the extraction is abroad. Naturally, this means that Canada has cut a bloody, but often ignored, path through the global periphery, extracting minerals and causing environmental degradation.

A notable recent example is that of the Cobre Panama copper mine, which is owned by First Quantum Minerals, one of the largest mining companies in Canada. The company earned $10 billion in revenue in 2022, of which the Cobre Panama mine generated $1 billion. Protests in Panama about this mine have gone on for over a decade, urging for a greater share of the profits, protection of indigenous people, and stronger environmental protections. Canada has maintained a stoney silence (pun somewhat intended) on these movements.

On October 20th, the president of Panama, Cortizo, renewed the company's mining concession for 20 years, after a halt in production since the end of 2022 due to negotiations and reform. Everybody hated this. In October, protestors took to the streets in sufficient numbers that Cortizo was forced to halt new mining approvals, and announced a public referendum on whether the contract with First Quantum should be repealed. This was immediately cut down, but the government decided to invalidate the new concession anyway in late November, calling it unconstitutional, and closing down the mine.

First Quantum Minerals has lost about half its market value since October. Various international banks have said that Panama could lose its investment-grade credit rating next year due to the income hit - the mine generated 5% of its GDP. The international arbitration process which First Quantum has initiated against Panama could last years.

The book Canada in the World: Settler Capitalism and the Colonial Imagination handles Canada's role as an imperialist, anti-indigenous, extractive state throughout its history, and is on our geopolitical reading list.

While he is a reactionary and surrounds himself with likeminded people, his daily update videos are relatively brainworm-free and good if you don't want to follow Russian telegram channels to get news. He also co-hosts The Duran, which is more explicitly conservative, racist, sexist, transphobic, anti-communist, etc when guests are invited on, but is just about tolerable when it's just the two of them if you want a little more analysis.

Danish police has arrested three individuals who has been charged with planning what authorities call a "terrorist action". According to information in the media the arrestees have connections to organised crime as well as to pro-Palestinian charities and protests. The police is not telling any specifics about the alleged plans but claims to exercise "increased vigilance" around Jewish localities. Recently Danish secret police has intervened to cancel a pro-zionist rally in Copenhagen as well as a channukah event at the Copenhagen city hall.

The "prime minister's" office of the zionist entity has made a press release claiming that the alleged "terrorist action" is connected to Hamas. Danish authorities has not made any such claims.

US Homeland Security staff accuse leadership of turning ‘blind eye’ to Gaza

God I don't want to mock them since they're doing the right thing and all but c'mon. Even the little Eichmanns at DHS can't stomach what Israel and the US is doing anymore. The imperial bureaucracy is getting soft folks, Cheney must be furious

“I’ve been very dedicated to the federal government,” one anonymous DHS official said. “I’ve served in different capacities. I very much believed in our mission. And then, after October 7, I feel like there has just been a drastic shift in this expectation of what we’re supposed to do when there’s a humanitarian crisis and what we’re actually doing when there’s politics involved, and that has a very, very scary, chilling impact.”

“There have been a lot of serious systemic and programmatic obstacles driven purely by politics"

Inaction has levied a steep toll on employees’ mental health, one described how colleagues with family in Gaza had received no support from DHS leadership as they tried to bring their relatives to safety.

A senior staff member who has spent more than a decade working for the federal government described having nightmares of losing his own children. He wakes up “with the knowledge that we’re not actually doing all that we can to provide programmes and relief for the Palestinians”.

“It’s definitely distressing and dispiriting to feel like, for political considerations, we’re not addressing [the conflict] in the same way that we would other previous, recent humanitarian crises, for instance, like Ukraine.”

Venezuela and Guyana to Continue Talks on the Essequibo

The Venezuelan president has repeatedly advocated dialogue for the resolution of the historic dispute.

A meeting between the President of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, and his Guyanese counterpart, Irfaan Ali, concluded this Thursday at 16:00 local time in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Both presidents expressed their willingness to continue the dialogue to solve the conflict over the Essequibo territory.

After concluding the high-level meeting, both leaders stood up and shook hands, sealing the willingness of both nations to continue the dialogue to resolve the dispute peacefully.

The Venezuelan Minister of Communication, Freddy Ñáñez, said through the social network X that the occasion demonstrated that the only way to resolve the territorial dispute is through dialogue, with understanding and respect, free of interventionist interventions, prioritizing the welfare of the region.

The meeting took place in Kingstown, the capital of the Caribbean island promoted by the president of Brazil, Lula da Silva, the Community of Caribbean States (Caricom) and the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC).

The meeting was attended by the Prime Ministers of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Ralph Gonsalves, Dominica, Roosevelt Skerrit, and Trinidad and Tobago, Keith Rowley.

For its part, the Venezuelan delegation is made up of Vice President Delcy Rodríguez, Foreign Minister Yván Gil, Minister of Communication and Information, Freddy Ñáñez, among other officials.

Previously, Maduro and Alí held separate meetings with representatives of Caricom and Celac, who have acted as mediators, with the aim of guaranteeing peace in the region.

The Venezuelan president has repeatedly advocated dialogue for the resolution of the historic dispute. Maduro maintains that the only way to resolve the dispute is based on the Geneva Agreement.

Last December 3, the Venezuelan people voted overwhelmingly in support of a consultative referendum in defense of the Essequibo territory, which Caracas claims as part of its historical territorial heritage.

"It can barely be described as living conditions anymore," aid official says of situation in Gaza hospital

There are barely “living conditions” for the people of the Gaza Strip, the emergency coordinator of operations for Doctors Without Borders, also known as Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), said Tuesday.

“Living conditions…I mean it can barely be described as living conditions anymore. People are displaced once, twice, sometimes more. They just don’t know where to go anymore,” Marie-Aure Perreaut, who is based in the Al-Aqsa hospital in Deir al-Balah in central Gaza, told CNN’s Isa Soares in an interview.

People sheltering in hospitals in Gaza are living in “horrendous conditions” without access to health care, she said. While Gazans traveled to hospitals in search of safety, Perreaut said, they know that “this is just not the case.” She described a lack of food and water, cold temperatures, overcrowding, and widespread diseases in hospitals, saying that the situation is “very, very tough.”

Many people are suffering from respiratory tract infections, diarrhea, and skin diseases such as scabies, she said. "All of these are clear illustrations of the extremely tough and precarious living conditions,” Perreaut said, adding that, since health care centers were ordered to evacuate, people “just don’t have access to health care anymore.”

Half of the patients that MSF was treating were children under the age of five, she said.

“All those children are still living in those conditions, facing multiple evacuation orders in the south, and now, just do not have access to health care on top of it," Perreaut said. Several hospitals in northern Gaza have ceased operations in recent weeks, saying they received orders from the Israeli military to evacuate. The Israeli military disputes issuing such an order.

Fuel shortages have forced several hospitals in Gaza to close, while others have shut down due to airstrike damage, the World Health Organization has reported. The Israeli military says it only carries out operations in and around hospitals where they are being used by Hamas and other armed groups.

Discussing the Palestine issue in Taiwan is just as exhausting as it is in the US. There's support for Palestine and just as much for Israel. Not as vicious as what I've seen coming out of the US but comparing Hamas to Al-Qaeda comes up all the time. The Jewish community in Taipei as well as the Palestinian community are doing a lot of local events to raise money for charity and awareness.

Bullrich clamps down on protest rights with new anti-picket protocol

spoiler

Security minister delivers press conference outlining government’s harsh approach to protests cutting traffic; Outlining host of measures, including severe punishments she warns "there will be consequences" for those attempting to seize control of the street.

Security Minister Patricia Bullrich has presented a new hard-line anti-picket protocol assuring that the President Javier Milei’s government will make it stick. “Law enforcement is not a halfway house – you either do or you don’t,” declared the 67-year-old at a press conference at the Security Ministry’s headquarters in Recoleta, Buenos Aires. Bullrich, seen as a “hawk” with a firm hand, detailed the new procedures for security forces when faced with disturbances of the public order. “The aim of this protocol is to enforce the law and as the President says, 'Those who disturb the peace will pay for it,'” began Bullrich, adding: "On the other hand, looking after those who look after us by establishing in the protocol protection for the actions of the federal security forces.”

The minister made known "the protocol for maintaining public order" in the face of traffic cuts, detailing the sanctions for the groups making such demonstrations. "Organisations who destroy will have to pay for the damage, overturning the garantista [soft] protocol of [earlier minister] Nilda Garré," she said at the end of her announcements, citing former president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner’s former security minister. Garré served from 2010 to 2013 and since her time in office, two governments have served full terms in office. Bullrich herself previously served as security minister between 2015 and 2019. She did not explain why the protocol was not changed earlier, not least during her period leading the portfolio.

Social leaders speak out

Following Tuesday’s announcements of emergency measures by Economy Minister Luis Caputo, several leaders of high-profile social organisations or picket groups had affirmed that they would stage street demonstrations. "The forces will employ the minimum force necessary, which will be upgraded in proportion to the resistance," assured Bullrich at the start of the press conference. In that context she said that the four security forces, [the Border Guard, the Coast Guard, the Airport Police and the Federal Police] together with Penitentiary Service personnel would be the ones to intervene in cases of flagrant breaches of the law.

She further revealed that federal forces would be acting in federal zones with the objective of freeing up traffic completely, adding that vehicles participating in pickets and not complying with certain norms (which the minister did not detail) would be confiscated. Polo Obrero leader Eduardo Belliboni told Perfil that he had been expecting such announcements but warned: "What is certain is that the right to demonstrate cannot be overturned by a protocol or a decree, it is a constitutional right," adding: "Either they declare a state of siege, which also has to go through Congress or they undertake a constitutional reform."

"State of Siege" (Estado de Sitio) is basically an state of emergency with an "exception regime", it is considered equal or almost equal to being in a state of war. This allows the Armed Forces to act against riots or manifestations, constitutional guarantees are suspended. It was invoked in December of 2001 by the then-president De La Rua and soon after his government was done for, the police did kill about 30 or so people during the riots, but the Army did not intervene. The name "State of Siege" is kinda weird, it must be some leftover law from the Spanish colonial period or something, gotta check.

The announcements:

The four federal forces and the Federal Penitentiary Service will intervene against roadblocks and pickets, whether partial or total. "The law is not half fulfilled. It is fulfilled or it is not fulfilled and we will."

"The forces may intervene in accordance with the extant procedural codes or in the case of flagrant crimes."

"It is very important to understand that the federal forces will act in federal zones with the provincial forces obliged to act in their areas of jurisdiction, working jointly."

"We are not going to take into account alternative traffic routes being provided. This means that if a main road is cut, that main road will be freed up."

"Action will be pursued until traffic is totally freed, employing the minimum force necessary, which will be upgraded in proportion to the resistance."

This last point is interesting, because pigs are known to infiltrate in protests and stir shit up.

"The authors, accomplices and instigators of this type of crime will be identified, as will vehicles and their registered drivers. All administrative infractions will be registered, proceeding to confiscate all vehicles not heeding traffic norms and whose drivers do not have the documentation they should."

"The data of the authors, accomplices or partícipants will be remitted to the corresponding authorities and to the Inspección General de Justicia to see if those blocking roads have a social plan."

"In the case of the participation of children and adolescents, the authorities competent for their protection will be notified, proceeding to sanction those who take children to demonstrations when they should be in school."

"The costs of the security operations will be invoiced to the organisations or individuals responsible. The state will not be paying for the use of security forces, the organisations or persons responsible will have to pay."

"The Immigration Department will be informed of any foreign participants."

"A register of the organisations who participate in these protests and those who systematically act as spokespersons for this type of demonstrations will be made."


They are preparing to fight the streets while they still can. These measures will lead them to nowhere but their own destruction. It is almost a guaranteed that soon the average argentinian will not be able to put food in their table or feed their children, and when hungry families roam the dark streets asking for food, what will they do? Send the Army? They don't seem to remember the last time this was tried the president had to leave Casa Rosada by helicopter...

I have this feeling that this government will not complete it's four year mandate, not like this. And I think they know this too, the situation is already unsustainable and in four days there will be the first demonstration against the austerity measures. With this in mind, I think they're going to rush as many austerity measures as they possibly can before it will be finally over, for example, just yesterday they nationalized some private debts, now the Central Bank owes an extra 30,000 million dollars, this is still very shady and more information is required. But at some point, if they don't do anything, the situation will be completely out of their control. Remember: french peasants (some very religious folks) beheaded their own King, he who had a DIVINE MANDATE upon them, because they couldn't get bread. Do they think the average argentinian will stop because some pigs are in their way?

Israel drops leaflets in southern Lebanon

The Israeli army has warned residents of southern Lebanon not to help Hezbollah.

“Early Friday morning, a drone dropped leaflets over the village that landed between the houses,” a resident of Kfarshuba told AFP on the condition of anonymity due to safety concerns.

Another resident said leaflets were dropped twice after the wind blew many from the initial batch away.

“To the residents of south Lebanon, we inform you that the terrorist Hezbollah is infiltrating into your homes and your lands,” read a copy of a leaflet seen by the news agency.

“You must stop this terrorism for your own security,” the text added, warning the population that assisting Hezbollah would expose them “to danger”.

Since October 7, Israel and Hezbollah have been engaged in nearly daily cross-border exchanges of fire.

Could the historic case of a trans sex worker end Malawi’s anti-LGBTIQ law?

Imprisoned in December 2021, Gonani, a 29-year-old Malawian trans woman, is currently serving an eight-year sentence at Chichiri men’s prison in Blantyre City for two counts of “false pretence” – for presenting as a woman – and one count of “unnatural offence” – both crimes under the country’s colonial era penal law.

In February 2022, with the help of Nyasa rainbow Alliance (NRA), a Malawian LGBTIQ organisation, Gonani filed an appeal in the High Court to challenge the constitutionality of Section 153 of this law pertaining to “unnatural offences”, a British colonial legal term for sodomy or homosexual sex.

...

This is the first time the “unnatural offence” law – Malawi’s only anti-homosexuality legislation – has been legally challenged on its constitutionality, making Gonani’s case a significant one in the fight for LGBTIQ rights.

Unlike other countries such as Ghana, Uganda and Kenya, there haven’t been efforts by the Malawian parliament to introduce new anti-gay laws, though a group of Malawian MPs did visit the Ugandan parliament in July where they praised its Anti-Homosexuality law passed this year.

Speaking to openDemocracy, Ousman Kennedy, a lawyer with NRA, said the organisation’s support for Gonani’s case was driven by the belief that: “[A] law that criminalises same sex relations between two consenting adults in private serves no useful purpose other than fueling the harassment and discrimination of LGBTI persons in Malawi.”

George Hopkins Kachimanga, executive director of the LGBTIQ-focused Social Justice Foundation, told openDemocracy homosexuality being criminalised in Malawi has made queer advocacy difficult.
