This article applies a critical political economy of health (CPEH) theoretical-analytic framework to the context of Canadian mining in Latin America and the Caribbean, elucidating how a variety of political, economic and social mechanisms operate at multiple levels. Based upon a guided selection of on-the-ground examples, our CPEH analysis demonstrates how the activities of Canadian mining companies, supported by Canadian tax and financial incentives and foreign policy, are linked to adverse health consequences via a series of health-harming pathways. After critically reviewing how the principal extractive governance approaches fail to address health harms, we propose alternative ways of connecting progressive health research and mining resistance.
