Eight riot police and one activist were injured during a protest in northern Greece against a Canadian gold mining project. The Vancouver-based company, Eldorado Gold, has faced opposition to the mine since its approval by the Greek government in 2011. Eldorado Gold is responsible for multiple gold mining projects in Greece, which locals say have already impacted their forests, land, water, and democratic process. In Ottawa this month, executives from Eldorado Gold joined an audience to hear delegates from Greece speak about the impacts of the mine. Attendees were reminded that any Canadian citizen with a Social Insurance Number is automatically invested in Eldorado Gold through the Canadian Pension Plan.
