Canadian mining industry sure is, look it up! They also have very evil names, it's so on the nose.

I'm replying to myself I know but I had to post my two favorite name of canadian mining corporation which are currently destroying the global south:

Conquistador Mines Ltd

Da Capo Resources (today Vista Gold Corporation)

On. The. Nose.

Also this : The Corporate Accountability of Mining, Oil and Gas Corporations in Developing Countries Act, also known as Bill C-300, was defeated in a vote of 140 to 134 in the House of Commons of Canada in October 2010.[56] The Summary of the bill states:

The purpose of this enactment is to promote environmental best practices and to ensure the protection and promotion of international human rights standards in respect of the mining, oil or gas activities of Canadian corporations in developing countries. It also gives the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Minister of International Trade the responsibility to issue guidelines that articulate corporate accountability standards for mining, oil or gas activities and it requires the Ministers to submit an annual report to both Houses of Parliament on the provisions and operation of this Act."[57]

I know Canada is not in any way a social democracy but it's close enough and would still do this if it became one.
