Episode 2 of the new COMMONS series is about the town of Asbestos, Quebec, (now Val-des-Sources), and the sordid history of Canada's contribution to the global Asbestos trade. Great podcast with a fascinating contribution from @Historiamagoria! canadaland.com/podcast/mining…

Concerns are being raised that Canadian mining investments in war-torn Tigray may be influencing Ottawa's position on the war, with critics suggesting Canada may be softening its criticism of human-rights abuses. @cnca_rcrce @PeterFonsecaMP @HMcPhersonMP @Alduceppe @sbergeron

The Klondike Gold Rush was many things: a media conspiracy, a ponzi scheme, a land grab. But above all, it was a humanitarian disaster that stretched over much of the Pacific Northwest. canadaland.com/podcast/mining…
