Canada and Ecuador are expected to sign a Free Trade Agreement in the coming days—but Ecuadorians say they were shut out of the process. The deal puts investor protections ahead of democracy, human rights, and the environment. 🧵 For background on why people say NO: bit.ly/4yzlN6e

We need a different kind of trade. Trade that puts people before profits. That upholds Indigenous rights, protects human rights and the environment, and supports a just energy transition that benefits workers and communities—not corporations. That's the trade we're fighting for. 🧵

Leading civil society voices from across Canada are calling on the federal government to halt its proposed free trade agreement with Ecuador, which poses a serious risk to Indigenous rights, human rights, and the environment. @mark-carney.bsky.social It is time to change course now!

The Canadian embassy in Ecuador must recognize the widescale criminalization of rights defenders at the hands of Canadian mining in Ecuador and its responsibility to promote the protection of rights defenders. No FTA with investor protections over rights protection! @miningwatch.bsky.social

The people of Cuba face a dire humanitarian crisis that has worsened in the wake of U.S. President Donald Trump’s threats to impose tariffs on any nation that exports oil to Cuba. Tell Anita Anand @anitaoakvilleeast.bsky.social and your MP to act now! => bit.ly/4sdvEum

Cuba needs fuel for electricity, hospitals, water and sanitation, public transportation, food production and distribution. Canadian coalitions urge @mark-carney.bsky.social and @anitaoakvilleeast.bsky.social to denounce U.S. measures that threaten access to food, meds, fuel bit.ly/4stgbGX

A key Bill tabled tomorrow aims to close dangerous gaps in Canada’s arms export laws that allow Canadian-made weapons parts to be shipped through the U.S. to Gaza, Latin America, Caribbean, and beyond. 📢Read this new report and take action! @wbwcanada.bsky.social armsembargonow.ca/nomoreloopholes

Canada should follow the lead of the Heads of Government of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) who spoke out in October expressing ‘unequivocal support’ for sovereignty, territorial integrity and maintaining the Caribbean region as a Zone of Peace.

We urge Canada to suspend Operation CARIBBE and its Memorandum of Understanding with the U.S. to avoid any risk of Canadian intelligence being used in unlawful, lethal attacks.

Respect people's rights over corporate rights! As Ecuadorians head into a November 16 referendum on constitutional protections, Canada must stop promoting investor protections that threaten human rights. shorturl.at/qdBM1 @miningwatch.bsky.social @policyalternatives.ca @lughiotto.bsky.social
