In these negotiations, the spotlight is on the Canadian mining industry. Canadian mining investments in Ecuador are valued at $1.8 billion, with Canadaâs trade commissioner noting that Canadian companies are âleading investorsâ in Ecuadorâs mining sector.
The trade commissioner also praises Ecuadorâs âmining-friendly legal framework.â
This is despite what MiningWatch Canada calls âserious human rights violations [that shed] light on the state of conflict over mining projects in peasant and Indigenous territoriesâ in Ecuador.
COFENIAE rejected the manual with a statement that explained:
âContinuing with its extractivist and neoliberal agenda, President Noboa turns our rights into a mere administrative procedure to facilitate the interests of the mining industry and speed up the approval process of mining concessions.â
Indigenous-led popular uprisings against Ecuadorâs neoliberal state have been frequent in recent years. Such uprisings occurred in 2019, 2020, and 2022, and in all cases, the Canadian government either remained silent about state repression of protestors or openly sided with the Ecuadorian right-wing.
Ecuador is currently embroiled in what Noboa has labelled an âinternal armed conflictâ between the state and armed gangs. These gangs began to thrive following the end of the left-wing Rafael Correa presidency, during which violent crime rates plummeted as a result of social investment and community-oriented security reform.
