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.. |
So let me get this straight: Ontario is planning to lift proof of vaccination requirements on January 17th, which means that anti-vaxxers can simply wait it out until January 17th and remain unvaccinated? @ottguy She's representing her riding. Lots of anti-vaxxers in Haldimand-Norfolk. A star Conservative MP suggests vaccines don’t reduce the risk of COVID. Never have Canadian children been used as shields for adults. Parents question vaccinating kids 5-12 without long-term data, a low risk of fatality, & cautions echoed around the world, when the treatment neither prevents transmitting or getting the virus. https://t.co/GwQWy7NRd1 Some religious groups in this area are refusing to take vaccines.. not surprised the average is higher here. 3.4% of COVID-19 tests performed in the Southwestern Public Health region last week were positive. This is nearly twice the provincial average. Covid-19 is all around us and we must continue to follow public health measures. @djkelly hope things work out for you and you get to represent your ward. |
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? 😉
