When we think about decolonial strategies we should look to and amplify existing global struggles. Comment from the audience points out that cases such as these already demonstrate “brutally” what “decolonial” looks like in practice.

One of the book’s main arguments: Violating human rights, using oppression and acting with corruption and impunity are how companies operate in Guatemala. These are Canadian issues taking place in Guatemala and need to be addressed in Canada as such.

This talk is underscored by the ugly reality of “transnational plunder” - the Canadian government and Canadian companies' ongoing profiteering from their relationships to the genocidal Guatemalan state.
