The Geneva suggestions…
Add Canada to the list of countries not to mess with.
I love how most of the comments in this thread completely ignore the context of the post, and instead are "Canada bad!" posts that seem to delight in bringing up every horrible thing the country ever did.
Yep, not a single mention of anything having to do with the Geneva Conventions.
No there was one, literally one comment chain.

The rest is mostly Americans screaming about Canada to make themselves feel better about themselves.
The mask is slipping...
The report indicates that new investments by Canadian mining companies in Tigray have increased as the region has been plunged into a major humanitarian crisis from military attacks by the Ethiopian and Eritrean government, whom the United Nations has accused of deliberately “starving Tigrayans.”
The U.N has warned that hundreds of thousands of people in Tigray face starvation, as the Ethiopian military—backed by Eritrean troops and militia from Ethiopia’s Amhara region—have raped women and children, committed massacres, burned crops, and blocked aid to the region as they conduct a lop-sided military offensive against the Tigray People
Yes this is definitely all of Canada doing this, not a corporation.
Do you say things like this when a company from your home country invests in a troubled region? Is it their government and peoples that you hold at fault? Or is this a problem with capitalism, and you have some motive to disparage Canada as a whole for the actions of a few rich assholes that the average Canadian would gladly have arrested for these actions?
What is your motive here, exactly?

These are valid criticisms but you approached this conversation in the worst way possible. If you are trying to get people on your side, this aint it dude.
