Dorado Launches in Canada: A Bold, Homegrown Alternative for Earners, Entrepreneurs, and Everyday Canadians
EDMONTON, AB, June 3, 2025 /CNW/ - Dorado, a proudly Canadian-owned and operated platform, is officially launching—offering individuals and businesses across the country a new way to earn by connecting consumers with essential services like mobility, internet, and energy. Built in Canada, for Canadians, Dorado delivers a smarter, simpler, and more transparent approach to referral-based income. In a climate of economic uncertainty and growing skepticism toward international models, Dorado offers a grounded, values-driven alternative. It's free to join, easy to understand, and built for people who want to earn on their own terms—without fine print, buy-ins, or vague compensation plans. "We built Dorado to flip the model," said Scott Simpson, Founder and CEO. "This isn't about selling overpriced products to your friends. It's about helping people and businesses earn money by referring services Canadians actually use—like Mobility, PureFibre internet, and energy—with more to come." Unlike traditional platforms that blur the line between hype and hustle, Dorado is refreshingly straightforward. Brand Ambassadors can get started at no cost, refer essential services, and earn real commissions—no inventory, no quotas, and no gotchas. As global markets shift—and as earners navigate changing regulations, cracked-down compensation plans, and rising costs—Dorado is doubling down on stability, transparency, and its Canadian foundation. Key Highlights: 100% Canadian conceptualized, owned, and operated Free to join—no kits, no fees, no monthly minimums Backed by established national partners, with more joining in 2025 Designed to help individuals and businesses earn through referrals Built with compliance, automation, and scale in mind Dorado is now open to early Brand Ambassadors across Canada, with opportunities for individuals and organizations to turn life moments—like moving, upgrading, or switching providers—into meaningful income. Dorado will host its inaugural opportunity event, Earn Smarter and Live Freer, on June 10. This virtual experience will introduce the platform to early adopters, Brand Ambassadors, and partners—highlighting how Canadians can earn, save, and grow through a smarter way to share essential services.

Panama launches maintenance work at contested mine
PANAMA CITY: Panama's government said Friday it would start maintenance work at a major mine forced to shut by protests, but insisted the project was not tantamount to the pit reopening. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Central America's biggest copper mine, the Canadian-owned Cobre Panama pit, closed in 2023 following weeks of crippling protests over its environmental impact. Maintenance will be carried out by a subsidiary of Canada's First Quantum Minerals "to prevent environmental damage" from materials stored at the mine, Trade and Industry Minister Julio Molto told a news conference. "This decision (...) does not imply the reactivation of the mine," Molto said. First Quantum Minerals said it would finance the work by exporting 121,000 tonnes of copper concentrate stored at the site since it closed down. Panama's President Jose Raul Mulino said last month that his government was working toward reopening the mine, without clarifying how he plans to tackle legal hurdles. The country's Supreme Court ruled in November 2023 that a contract allowing First Quantum Minerals to continue operating the site was unconstitutional. Environmentalist Raisa Banfield criticized Friday's announcement as the Canadian giant "can't manage the mine." She called for an external audit to "establish the definitive closure plan." Cobre Panama, which began operations in 2019, had produced about 300,000 tonnes of copper concentrate a year, representing 75 percent of the country's exports and about five percent of its national economic output. It employed around 37,000 workers directly and indirectly.
