Just my progressive opinion of course..…but there aren’t many instances, if any, of companies actually adhering to voluntary standards for preserving the environment, or polluting, and so on. Regulation is needed to force adherence. To think otherwise is either pie in the sky, or because you think that it’s not fair to force companies to make less profit in order to be good environmental and social corporate citizens – a definite conservative/libertarian trait, NOT a liberal trait. 2 comments to Just my progressive opinion of course.. |
"30% of Ontarians say they would vote for the OLP ...26% say they would vote for the PCs ...NDP at 23%. Looking at results... after the latest announcements by the Ford government, the Liberal lead expands to 7 points with the Liberals at 32% and the PCs trailing at 25%" #Onpoli Almost everyone likely to vote in the next election is watching Doug Ford now, and most donāt like what they see. @InnovativeRG had a survey in field Friday. Just under 400 before and just over 400 after. Pretty dramatic results. #COVID19Ontario #onpoli https://t.co/rnxcMADvPG Preparing for his 1000$/fee sales-pitch fundraiser on Zoom.

Corporate Social Responsibility: Movements and Footprints of Canadian Mining and Exploration Firms in the Developing World
Commissioned by the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) in 2009
“Canadian companies have been the most significant group involved in unfortunate incidents in the developing world. Canadian companies have played a much more major role than their peers from Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States. Canadian companies are more likely to be engaged in community conflict, environmental and unethical behaviour.”
The report notes that the majority of the Canadian mining companies involved in such violations already have CSR policies in place.
