Why is Canada pushing Guyana, an impoverished nation of 800,000 people, into conflict with Venezuela while helping multinational corporations grab its oil?
Recently, Canadian officials criticized Venezuela’s position regarding its territorial dispute with Guyana, which sits on the northeastern tip of South America. Soon after the United States put out a statement on the long-running border conflict between the two nations, the High Commission of Canada to Guyana declared “Venezuela’s recent claim that it has sovereignty over the area adjacent to Guyana’s coast is concerning. The decision is in the hands of the International Court of Justice and this judicial process must be respected.”
