“A triumphant day. A day of many tears”
End of the U.S./Canadian-backed Narco-regime in Honduras

Catherine Nolin and Grahame Russell both teach in the Geography Department at the University of Northern British Columbia in Prince George; she’s department chair and he’s an adjunct professor. [Since 1995, Grahame is director of Rights Action, a not-for-profit organization that supports land, environmental, human rights and justice defense struggles in Guatemala and Honduras, including most of the land and rights defenders profiled in TESTMONIO.]

“That the harms, evictions and violence caused by Canadian companies are occurring in Guatemala and elsewhere does not make these issues any less ‘Canadian’. Once defined as significantly ‘Canadian’ problems, it becomes clearer what needs to be done, and where.”
