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.. |
If the government is smart, it'll come up with some kind of plan to incentivize people to get voluntarily vaxed, and a minimally impairing system to nudge those who remain reluctant into either getting vaxed or being excluded from high-risk environments. @draymaker @CanadianPolling @338Canada sad. Good luck with that: the "decent ones" are the leftover Red Tories that the current CPC voter base (and daresay the caucus) won't touch with a 10 foot pole. Pro-tip for the CPC: have a decent leadership candidate in mind before you purge your current stooge. Federal Polling: "Holding people down and vaccinating them against their will is a rights violation; turning unvaccinated people away from a gym or a movie theatre during a pandemic is not." @uOttawa University Research Chair in Health Law Policy & Ethics @ColleenFlood2 on vaccine passports https://t.co/0a7YF8wxCr Around the world variants are surging & unvaccinated people are dying (and sometimes the vaccinated). We need our govts to support vaccine passports before we hit a 4th wave & more crushing impact on public health & the economy. https://t.co/vEKd9CcVGo via @torontostar |
Did you see this, Scott?
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.
D’yah think? 😉
