So why did the Canadian government ramp up their support for an unelected government that was showing themselves to be increasingly more repressive and undemocratic? Maria Cueva of the Quebec-Peru Solidarity Committee provided North Star with an explanation:

“Currently, [Canada] has mining companies that operate there, and the government also sells arms to Peru. That’s the point of interest, because we have lots and lots of minerals. That’s why they continued their support. And Pedro Castillo’s government didn’t want to renew the contracts. With Dina Boluarte, they have been renewed. That’s it. And the people don’t want the mines because they contaminate the whole environment, their territory.”

    Do you believe YOU’RE the only one entitled to spew ridiculous hyperbole? Have you ever suggested Hamas terrorists should surrender for prosecution? If not, you can’t be taken seriously.
