Conference in Edmonton : Corporate Canada’s Effect on the Congo

Conference in Edmonton : Corporate Canada’s Effect on the Congo IN

Think Canada always acts as a benevolent force internationally? Think again.

Hundreds of thousands of people have died in horrendous circumstances in the DR Congo as our consumer demand for cell phones fuels it’s bloody extractive sector – a sector in which Canadian mining corporations are the major players and benefactors. Join independent journalist, Keith Harmon Snow, who has spent his career filming and investigating western influence in central Africa. In his dynamic, fast-paced presentation, learnwhy and how our corporations are making record profits even as the Congo remains in the middle of the worst humanitarian crisis since WWII.

Afterwards, we will discuss solutions to this crisis and how Canada can reverse the detrimental affect of its mining industry on the DRC.

REINVENTONS

LE CONGO

Informer. Inspirer. Impacter.

Notre travail consiste à :
Développer un laboratoire d’idées sur le passé, présent et futur du Congo-Kinshasa.

Proposer un lieu unique de décryptage, de discussion et de diffusion des réalités et perspectives du Congo-Kinshasa.

Aiguiser l’esprit critique et vulgariser les informations sur les enjeux du Congo, à travers une variété de supports et de contenus (analyses, entretiens, vidéos, verbatims, campagnes, livres, journal).
