Canadian mining companies better start behaving, thanks to Nevsun GlobeDebate

. According to Human Rights Watch, when the allegations first surfaced in 2013, “Nevsun did not acknowledge that Segen had used conscript labourers at Bisha, but neither did it rule out the possibility.” In a statement to The Globe and Mail from that time, Nevsun said: “The company expresses regret if certain employees of Segen were conscripts four years ago.” Meanwhile, the state-owned trucking company Transhorn Trucking,, was another example of why perhaps the partnership was a bad idea.

They argued that this treatment represented “a breach of customary international law," a set of legal norms more fully developed after the Second World War to try and mitigate the worst effects of human savagery. Critically, they insisted that customary international law was a part of Canadian law, and that the case should therefore be heard in Canadian courts.

Canadian companies require travelling employees to self-quarantine amid COVID-19Some Canadians planning overseas trips are being told by their employers to self-quarantine for weeks upon return in an effort to minimize the spread of a novel form of coronavirus. We really need to tell people what 'self-quarantine' means. And what they need to help them achieve it. And maybe, just maybe, have governments, cities, and towns, make the required services available to help them achieve it (product/produce deliveries, tests, etc...). 'Self-Quarantine'? We were skeptical about this phrase from the very beginning. If you can't get people to wipe down the gym equipment at the Y, how would you expect them to practice'Self Quarantine'?
