Description: Imperial Canada Inc. : Legal Haven of Choice for the World's Mining Industries, Paperback by Deneault, Alain; Sacher, William; Browne, Catherine (CON); Denis, Mathieu (CON); Ducharme, Patrick (CON), ISBN 0889226350, ISBN-13 9780889226357, Brand New, Free P&P in the UK The answer lies in our colonial past and the fact that, rather than turning away from the imperial ambitions of its mother country, Canada has actively embraced, appropriated, and perpetuated them. The nation that began with the British North America Act of 1867, two years later, took possession of Rupert's Land-the land draining into Hudson Bay-and the North-Western Territory from the Hudson's Bay Company, three million hectares of resources, and set about its nation-building enterprise of extending its Dominion from Sea to Sea. This Canadian imperial heritage continues to offer the worldwide extractive sector a customized trading environment that supports speculation, enables capital flows to finance questionable projects abroad, provides government subsidies, and, most especially, offers a politicized legal haven from litigation. Traditionally rooted in Canadian law, the right to reputation effectively supersedes freedom of expression and the public's right to information. Hence, Canadian "bodies corporate" (Canadian-based corporations) can sue for "libel" any and all persons or legal entities that quote documents or generate analyses of their corporate practices that they do not approve of. Even foreign academics have become hesitant about presenting their work in Canada for fear of prosecution. The authors of Imperial Canada Inc. meticulously research two factors that contribute to the answer to this question: first, the history of the Toronto Stock Exchange as a place of speculation; and second, the free-mining principles that are the basis of QuTbec's mining code. The result is a call to action for critical thinkers who are increasingly concerned about the practices of Canadian-based mining companies at home and abroad.
