Mining with Jesus
Now there’s a match made in heaven! The “followers of Jesus” at World Vision and the worshipers of Mammon at Barrick Gold, together bringing “development” Canadian style to the benighted indigenous communities of Peru.
That’s a pilot project referenced by Canada’s International Cooperation Minister Julian Fantino in his speech to the Economic Club of Toronto on Friday.
The Harper gang wants to get more bang for the buck out of it’s foreign aid budget. Specifically, more bang for Canadian corporations out of taxpayers bucks, and what the hell, if you can get away with calling it “foreign aid” so much the better!
Alas, not everyone is impressed with Barrick’s humanitarian initiatives in Peru. In fact, people have died resisting Barrick’s development plans.
Shame on Fantino and the rest of the Harper gang for trying to fob off such egregious bullshit as foreign aid, and shame on the good folks at CIDA for playing along with it.
