On Canada's reputation in Latin America due to Canadian mining corps, here's a cartoon that has made the rounds recently.
"Probably Germany, Switzerland, and Canada are so green because they put their environment destroying projects in countries like Mexico."

This is one of many instances of Canadian mining companies doing horrendous things in Latin America.
This time it's Brazil Potash Corp, based in Toronto.
Canada has a very bad reputation in Latin America as a result of these types of violations.

#TOpoli the incumbent who was the #TTC chair sucked. There were so many TTC breakdowns that broke down the city. Line 3 derailment. Track slow downs. Service untimely & irregular that people drove, adding to congestion.
TTC is so inaccessible for disabled passengers. Much worse when TTC breaks down
