As I mentioned before. When I just visited El Choco, I saw what was great corruption occurring concerning the mining industry.
The government has forbid any person not approved by the government to mine for gold. All the local boats/dredges were shut down.
The boats operating were Canadian. The locals were panning for gold old fashion style. I have other fotos of them digging the river bed and filling dump trucks and sneaking off the sift the dirt out of site of authorities!

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."

This has been going on for years, and like your aunt, not that many Colombians really know that it's going on . . .

I think the Colombian journalist Hollman Morris has done some reports on this, if you want to search Youtube.

Canadian mining companies are some of the sleaziest on the planet-absolutely no scruples they are the lowest of the low.

Apart from the Chinese that is, and the Russians.

fish, i guess it's because they're stark naked and everyone knows what they're about. the maple (fig) leaf makes them think that they're respectable.
