Canada to look into companies investing in Burma

The House of Commons passed a motion last year which called for a ban on Canadian companies doing business in Burma. Canadian activist are supporting these developments. One of the best known Canadaian organization is Burma Watch International, though their website hasn't been updated in a while, It is my guess they are probably working behind the scenes. Some of the Canadian companies working in Burma are;

Air Canada CHC Helicopter Corporation East Asia Gold Corp Export Packers Company Ltd. Good Harvest Seafood Inc. Jet Gold Corp. Ivanhoe Mines Kayjet Promotions Leeward Capital Corp. Midland Foods (Winnipeg) Inc. Midland Seafoods Inc. Saan Tai Foong International Ltd. Taiga Consultants Ltd. TG World Energy Corp. Trimark Athletic Supplies Wah Loong Ltd.

For a full list of companies worldwide doing business in Burma, Global Unions keeps its list updated regularly.
