SHUTDOWN PDAC - No Mining in our Future. Canada’s mining industry is immensely tied to militarism. The foundation of Canada as we know it is colonization. Colonization is war backed with a military force used by the police and armed forces. 1/
Group photo of protesters showing off their their signs.  
Amongst some fo the signs:
- Orange "Every Child Matters" indigenous banner
- Hand-drawn sign of a bulldozer with the name FORD above, overlaid with a "forbidden" sign
- "Consult me first!" --Neskantaga Strong
- "Free Entry Mining: Illegal under Anishinaabe Law!"
- "Wyldo + Juno: Neskantaga Says Cease and Desist"
- "From Tigray to Turtle Island, Justice for All"
- "Sturgeon Forever" with a hand drawing of a sturgeon fish
A speaker is delivering a speech from the street.  Behind her, there are two hand-made banners:

- "Canadian Mini Kills, Destroys" with images of smoke stacks, along with warplanes dropping bombs on destroyed buildings
- "Mining is not the future; The Future is:"  
-- "Decolonized" with a painting of a verdant landscape
-- "Relational" with people of different cultures holding hands
-- "Life-giving" with fish in a riverAnother angle on the same speaker, this time showing Congolese flags, and a partially-visible banner that says: 
--Team Congo
--?? Years of genocide
-- Enough!A person from Neskantaga speakign to the protest, with the many of the same signs and people seen in the first pictures surrounding him.

Screenshot of the Toronto Star article head: "Canada must do more to bring an end to the unconscionable death and destruction in Gaza".  

Photo in the screenshot: "Palestinians carry sacks of flour taken from a humanitarian aid convoy en route to Gaza City, in the outskirts of Beit Lahiya, northern Gaza Strip, on Friday August 1."Screenshot of an excerpt of the article: "We can do that by immediately implementing a two-way arms embargo on all military equipment and components to Israel, including through third states. Despite Ottawa’s denials, there is increasing evidence that Canadian arms are still getting through to Israel. If true, that must stop."
