Canadian mining companies invade the global south

Volume 45, Issue 1: January/February 2011

Why are Canadian mining companies shifting their investments to the Global South? The reason is twofold. First, in Canada the easy to find ore has already been found so that new properties being developed are low-grade, high cost marginal projects. Second, besides giving diplomatic support, Canadian governments have introduced tax measures and the Export Development Corporation provides easy credit that together greatly facilitates the global expansion of Canadian mining. In this special issue CD explores Canada’s unsavory conduct as one of the world’s most powerful mining nations.
