They did get a bit political from time to time, but who doesn't in this crazy mixed up world?

What was his name? Adel Hummer? Something like that?

aren't there multiple monuments for  victims of communism still floating around canadahell they're still building this thing in ottawa (article from 2021, photo from this august)  quote:A controversial monument being built in Ottawa to honour victims of communist regimes has received donations in honour of known fascists and Nazi collaborators, according to a list posted online by the organization spearheading the project. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/victims-communism-memorial-fascists-1.6112809 and wikipedia: quote:Ludwik Klimkowski, chair of Tribute to Liberty stated that questions about who will be commemorated "are premature" since both Tribute to Liberty and the Department of Canadian Heritage are still reviewing the final list of names which will be included on the memorial. He did not confirm that the money to commemorate Nazi collaborators was refused and returned, saying it would be "premature to comment".

In 1996, Sutton Resources buried 50 protesting miners alive in Bulyahulu, Tanzania using bulldozers. They are now a subsidiary of Barrick Gold. I thought I read about the Supreme Court of Canada banning a book on the topic from publication, but I can't find a source for that now.

Chamale posted:I thought I read about the Supreme Court of Canada banning a book on the topic from publication, but I can't find a source for that now. yeah it was Deneault's Noir Canada Following the publication of Noir Canada, mining company Barrick Gold sent Écosociété a threatening letter regarding alleged inaccuracies in the book's description of evictions at the Bulyanhulu Gold Mine in Tanzania in 1996. The book's launch was postponed as a result, but the publisher managed to distribute 1,700 copies. Barrick filed a $6-million lawsuit against the authors and the publisher for libel.[5] The lawsuit has been considered by some to be a strategic lawsuit against public participation (SLAPP). On 12 August 2011 the Quebec Superior Court ruled that "Barrick seems to be trying to intimidate authors", that the suit was "seemingly abusive",[6] and that Barrick must pay the authors and publisher $143,000 to prepare their defense. On 18 October 2011 Barrick, the authors, and the publisher reached an out-of-court settlement that included a payment to Barrick and ceasing publication of the book.[7] Deneault told news media that the authors had agreed to the settlement in order to bring an end to the legal proceedings, so that they could "return to having our discussions back in the public sphere, instead of the courtroom".[7] In May 2008 a coalition of Quebec organizations formed to push for anti-SLAPP legislation. The Barrick suit against Écosociété (which joined the coalition) helped bring awareness to the cause.[8] On 4 June 2009 Quebec adopted an anti-SLAPP bill called "An Act to amend the Code of Civil Procedure to prevent improper use of the courts and promote freedom of expression and citizen participation in public debate".[9] In June 2008 another mining company, Banro Corporation, sued the authors and publisher for allegedly defamatory content in Noir Canada, for $5 million. The prosecution took place in Ontario courts, despite the fact that fewer than 100 copies of the book were distributed in the province. The publisher appealed to the Supreme Court to repatriate the suit to Quebec, partly because of its newly adopted anti-SLAPP legislation, but was denied.[10][11] In 2013, the proceedings ended with an out-of-court settlement that involved Écosociété paying compensation to Banro.[10] In February 2010 Barrick Gold sent a letter threatening legal action to everyone involved in the book Imperial Canada Inc.: Legal Haven of Choice for the World's Mining Industries, an English translation of a book by Deneault and William Sacher, also about the Canadian mining industry.[12]

crepeface posted:what's the response been from the general Canadian literati? is the d&d canpol thread furiously trying to dismiss it as Russian propaganda? the D&D canpol thread shares more posters with this thread than it does with any other D&D thread. the only reason there's two threads is because there's people going "eww i won't post in [D&D/cspam]" sometimes with "because [that guy i dislike] posts in the other one" it's 90% the same discussions with the same tone involving the same people e: actually that's not quite true. there's also a dedicated housing/economy canpol D&D thread which is again, 90% of the same people and the same tone. so i guess the D&D canpol regular thread shares posters with that one the most, THEN this thread.

Once again, they will throw everything on these handful of individuals because it gives them the opportunity to lecture the public and completely miss the real mechanism going on just outside focus. Which I know you know, but it bears saying once again.
