I hope MiningWatch will help feed those families who’s breadwinner is now out of work as they sit in the coffee shops.

OTTAWA, ONTARIO, MONTREAL, QUEBEC and CERRO DE SAN PEDRO, MEXICO–(Marketwire – Nov. 19, 2009) – Mexican and Canadian organizations decried today’s violence in which workers from New Gold’s Cerro de San Pedro mine reportedly attacked three villagers whom they blamed for the mine’s closure, Armando Mendoza, Gabriel Nuniz, and Jaime Tedesco. “We understand that emotions are running high, but such violence cannot be tolerated, and we call on New Gold and its subsidiary Minera San Xavier to make this clear to their employees,” said MiningWatch Canada spokesperson Jamie Kneen.

Obviously the mining company is to blame.
