Canadian MINES under fire!

Tonight on CBC news we were told about (which probably most Canadians do not know, I for one) the Great Canadian Mining Industry.

Canada has more "mines" worldwide BY FAR than any other country. That's the first thing I did not know.

Then came the news that the Canadian mining industry pretty well has nobody to regulate it or see that it is doing things correctly and decently and within human care.
So some individual people over the last number of years in different countries came forward to say they were beaten or raped by "security guards" hired by the Canadian company to "mine" - which meant in some cases moving people off the land - who did not want to move off their land - hence beatings and rape.

Now this got to where one member of the Canadian Parliament drew up a "private members bill" - got a second reading before Parliament......THEN like a snow storm came the LOBBYISTS... by the thousands, lawyers, "important people" - you name it, they came to support the mining companies. Such a private members bill becoming law, would have detrimental effects on the mining companies, and.....well I'm sure most of you know what lobbyists are all about - protect who they want protected so they can continue to do business as usual.

The bill was narrowly defeated, but it was defeated.

So what does the Canadian Government do next? They appoint a gal (in this case a gal) to run an office on the matter of what may not be "just the right thing" for the mining companies to be doing or not doing. She is given $650,000 a year. Been doing it now for TWO years and only looked into two complaints. Why only two?  Well would you believe the mining companies have to be "willing" to participate, if they do not want in on the "investigating" of the claim of wrong doing, they can just walk out any time or not even be part of it from the word go, just not co-operate period!

YOU TALK ABOUT THE CRAZY, SILLY, AND STUPID, AND DISGUSTING THINGS A GOVERNMENT CAN CREATE....AN OFFICE THAT HAS NO TEETH OR IS JUST POWERLESS, AT THE COST OF $650,000 PER YEAR.

JUST ONE EXAMPLE OF WHY GOD IN HIS PROPHETIC WORD SAYS OUR LEADERS ARE ***MAD***
