What’s even more difficult to fathom is that a handful of these mining companies are Canadian. Also surprising is that Canadian citizens greatly benefit from investments in these companies — perhaps in ways they haven’t considered.

    According to Canadian human rights activist Grahame Russell, this is only one example of “global economic order” at work.
