I am from vanouver,canada and i wanted to say that i supports the gov. of El Salvador in the case against Pacific Rim mining co.I hope that the gov. of El Salvador gets support from other countries in central and south america on this case.Canada got mining companys all over the world and it is the same problem everywhere.These canadian mining companys make huge profits in third world countries.The money is of no benefit to the working class in canada.I wouldn’t want money got on the backs of the working class in other countries.These criminals like Pacific Rim needs to be brought to justice.The canadian gov. is complicit in this criminal act by Pacific Rim against the gov. of El Salvador.
