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.. |
“Baber was *defenestrated* from the Progressive Conservative caucus Friday morning ...” The twitter msg threads in some of these columns about Roman Baber being booted from the Ontario PC caucus is half amusing/half concerning (amusing for the conservative split, concerning about how Trumpian they sound with wanting to disregard Covid public health regs. #onpoli If you want to know how serious the UK variant of #COVID19 is, my friend caught it because a kid was running around the hallways in her building and she returned him to his parents just 2 floors up. Max 12 minutes together indoors. The 'lockdown' is not what is causing hospitals to backlog surgeries and cancer treatments. The virus - and the refusal of the government to act quickly and decisively back in October - is what is causing that damage. Anyone saying otherwise is a fool or liar. @iancapstick when he starts giving names to the stones/rocks around your house.. that's when I'd start getting concerned... |
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? 😉
