@CANADALAND @JesseBrown we need to talk about Canadian coverage of the unfolding situation in Colombia. These are not violent protests, this is a government that turned it's military force against civil society, against people.This isn't about a tax! #PoliceViolence #SOSColombia
Canada and Colombia have a trade agreement that disproportionately favours Canada worth hundreds of millions of dollars annually. Canada exports armed vehicles that are running into crowds and shooting projectiles in Colombian streets #SOSColombiaDDH
Canadian media is happy to say "Canadian Colombian singer @LidoPimienta" when she's winning the @PolarisPrize or "Canadian Colombian singer @Jessiereyez" when she's winning @TheJUNOAwards but remains nearly silent when they are killing our families and friends.
Why doesn't any Canadian news network have a foreign correspondent covering latin america? Canada benefits from canadians ignorance on the hemisphere. 33% of mining in Latin America is by #CanadianMining companies many linked to human rights abuses. #canadianmedia
Colombia was the hottest new place to go vacation in Latin america. These cities are not war zones. The military has descended into all mayor cities across the country. #ColombiaEnAlertaRoja
