The majority of cANADIANS think that the government will do the right thing, but the

government can't, the cANADIAN government was created through theft (land treaties)

sign this piece of paper or else! and still we have the QUEEN on our currency! What if Hitlers kids were on the EURO? For the canadian government to do something proper it would be like asking someone to commit suicide.

[coro1s]

[DolcePiano]

Guatemala nunca se independizo de los espanholes, "Si manana tu suelo sagrado lo amenaza invacion extrangera, libre al viento tu etc...". Que mentira, el gobierno deberia de proteger a sus ciudadanos y no traicionarlos.

One Day GuateMaya will be free of spanish opression! And a Real shout of freedom will be heard!

Libertad 15 de Septiembre 1821! what a vile and despicable lie! Guatemala never gained independence from spanish imperialism!

[martimoremieb]

[dzeaz323]

can someone send me this song or something pleaze, thanks!

[rightsaction]

It's Asilo 38 from Colombia.. the song is "Vencer o Morir"

[taylorklie]

I want Guatemala to know that we civilians had and still have little understanding of the problem, but we will do our best to help evict this heartless company from your land. With the help of Steven and others willing to make a difference, the company will hopefully soon be forced to change their ways or shut down.

[taylorklie]

I would like to say, as a Canadian, that I am deeply ashamed in what our government and what this company is doing. In my own defense, I had no idea that any of this was happening until Steven Schnoor came to my school and presented this video in class - I am deeply hurt by what this horrible company is doing to the world and also deeply hurt by the government not taking action against it.

[sacba]

its sad watching my own ppl eat shit and some other countries coming to take poor ppl lands...it makes me wanna cry just watching my ppl defendless...fuk canada and its rich gay ass government

[sacba]

i was born in the USA with pleasure to have most of the things i have when in guate they dont have houses...i love USA with my heart..both my parents are 4rm guate and i hate seeing countries with money take awsy land from my ppl..fuk the canadians..instead of USA fighting in iraq...why dont they help america in the needs..ppl thank GOD that U live in countries like USA..

[skibumanne]

Wow, you need to do more research about your country. Canada can't even begin to compare to the rights abuses by the USA. Not sure where your comparison fits into commenting about this video. The USA is the world's biggest supporter of the private capitalist structure that supports the kinds of activities in this video. I think the best strategy is to support international legal bodies to take action against illegal actions by private companies from any country.

[Roxy1578]

It's a VERY frustating and VERY SAD situation for this people because 'they have no one to help them out'.see this Bullshit its painful because da goverment is that one to blame for by allowing this canadian company taking away their land/property. They should re-consider what is worth in the long run, Other country taking adavantage, should they work/care 4 the soil/mines? the goverment itself talked about other countries selling their people and they are doing it in.Shame on them

[avargass70]

Me fui antes de saludarte la tade que estabas en Oxnard, Ca. Gracias por tus esfuersos en informar al mundo de los hechos criminales de esta compania multinacional. I wish you the best in your endeavors.

[Lodestone1968]

[riodezhe]

Derechos umanos para quién no? Gracias por este documento, me lo llevo a uno de mis blogs.

[chykeeys]

Me pregunto donde esta la acción del Procurador de los Derechos Humanos y todos los grupos que son de defensa de los derechos humanos, grupos y asociaciones que son pro-campesino, debieran iniciar las acciones judicial correspondientes, para que estas personas puedan recuperar sus tierras en aplicación a lo estipulado en el Convenio 169.
