On tour in Ontario, Pedro Landa of Caritas Tegucigalpa (a D and P partner) is speaking at parishes, schools and on campuses giving first hand accounts of the negative impact of mining in Honduras.About 85% of the mining companies in Honduras are Canadian. He doesn't want to blame the Canadian people. But he wants them to know that "the jewelry that they are wearing is the result of suffering of people and destruction of environment."
Last night at Trent U, tonight at the OECTA AGM to address shareholders in Goldcorps and next week with government officials in Ottawa, Pedro is a forceful and convincing advocate to regulate Canadian mining operations.
