GLOBALIZATION GONE HORRIBLY WRONG
Nova Scotia Power (NSP) gets the best quality coal it 
can at the cheapest price on the international market. 
But there's an underside to the story. NSP gets that 
coal from the El Cerrejon Norte coal mine in northern 
Colombia, a notoriously dirty piece of business in that 
unfortunate country where it's hard to tell which is worse: 
the army and its paramilitary killers, the armed 
narco-traffickers, the rebel insurgents or the foreign 
corporations backed by the World Bank.
