Indigenous Harm Reduction
SHUTDOWN PDAC - No Mining in our Future.

We need to oppose everything this PDAC gathering represents for our world and for the people. We need to feed people, house people not fund war.

Mark Carney has effectively linked national development to resource extraction and building Canada’s military. A banker who knows the immense profit and wealth made by resource extraction and weapons manufacturing.
4/
The 2025 budget poured billions of taxpayer dollars into war manufacturing and committed to fast tracking destructive projects and mines on Indigenous lands.

A photo of the PDAC conference announcement on the conference center's outdoor screen: "PDAC March 1-4 2026 The world's premier mineral exploration & Mining Convention" The word "premier" has been crossed out in red and the words "most vile", also in red, have been edited into the photo.
Canadian mining industries around the world extract minerals for the war machine and use militarism to suppress resistance to those mines.
All major weapons systems used to kill people in Gaza, to bomb Venezuela and Iran rely on mining carried out by companies attending this conference.

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 river
Another 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.
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/
2 people hold a banner on a city street, with many police officers in the background. The banner is colourful and says "Mining is not the future. The future is - decolonized- relational - life giving."
Thank you so much to everyone who joined us yesterday to disrupt PDAC and imagine a future beyond mining!
It felt powerful to join together in solidarity with communities across Turtle Island and around the world who are rejecting the violence of mining.

🚨 6000+ emails already sent! Join us in demanding that Mark Carney & Anita Anand retract their support for illegal US-Israeli attacks on Iran and impose sanctions on Israel. It just takes 2 seconds: www.cjpme.org/carney_iran
As Foreign Minister, Anita has allowed the flow of arms to Israel to continue through the U.S. Loophole - an export route that bypasses regulations allowing Canadian-made weapons to end up in Israel as they commit genocide in Gaza.
It’s time to end that: armsembargonow.ca/nomoreloopho...
MP Anita Anand must now condemn the U.S./Israeli air campaign, say the strikes are illegal and take steps to ensure there is no more escalation - enforce accountability and meaningful human-rights.
Days after the illegal U.S. bombing of Iran, peace advocates visit the Foreign Affairs minister’s constituency office to condemn her support for the murder of over 100 children in Iran aged 7-12 and over 700 civilians in the region.
At @PDAC2026 today, @fordnation was asked:
“Grassy Narrows is still being poisoned. Will you compensate Grassy Narrows for the ongoing mercury crisis?”
Ford ignored the question.
Grassy Narrows is still waiting for justice.

TORONTO EMERGENCY PROTEST:
It is horrifying and deeply shameful that Carney and Anand have chosen to stand with Trump and Netanyahu as they launch large-scale missile attacks on Iran. Instead of supporting the US and Israel’s blatant acts of war, Canada can and must act to advance diplomacy, de-escalation, and peace.

🚨URGENT: We denounce Carney and Anand’s horrific choice to endorse Trump and Netanyahu’s missile attacks across Iran. Instead of supporting the US and Israel’s blatant acts of war, Canada can and must act to advance diplomacy, de-escalation, and peace.
