    Any Nicaraguan who thinks that the cash flow from this canal will just flow to the people need to wake up and wake up fast. It will benefit the Oligarchs, not the people and that's a damn shame.

    It is difficult to believe that the country is so poor when many people are not thin in fact they are obese.

    Nicaragua is so poor that they were asked by the government to eat Iguanas during the last drought that hit the country. Any economic project will always have environmental impact. If one is against the canal because of "environmental destruction", I have a word for you; POVERTY. Nicaragua is not the affluent US, Canada or Western Europe, this is the 2nd poorest in Latin America and they cut woods to burn for cooking and pollute the freshwater lake by dumping their personal waste over there. Saw it with my very own eyes and smelled it with my very own nose. If you have another plan to uplift the nation please act now before the poverty induced environmental destruction will wiped out the fish and the trees.

      first of all.. eating iguanas might sound terrible to us, but in parts of nicaragua this is very much normal, even when there is no drought. and do you really think that any of the money thats made from this canal will go to the people of nicaragua? just look at the situation in nicaragua right now.. ortega, once a socialist, has now become a corrupt dictator who does not care one bit about the people in his country. this canal will greatly benefit china and very few influencial nicaraguenses, but that's about it. no farmer will profit, no worker will find a better job, the poverty in nicaragua won't be ended by this canal. don't be fooled here. and while you are right that many of the nicaraguan people pollute the lake and harm the environment, that harm does still not compare to the destruction the canal would bring. the lake nicaragua is the biggest source of fresh water in central america. the canal would pollute the water with saltwater. that kind of pollution is irreversible and affects the whole lake including the ecosystem in and around it.
      also, I highly doubt that 50,000 nicaragüenses will be part of the construction of the canal. a canal this big is not going to be built with shovels or the help of horses. but where do you find 50,000 nicaraguan workers that have the skill set to work with huge diggers or to assist in the development of the construction plans? of course this huge company is going to bring their own workers, they don't want to spend any time or money on training local workers. and while it may be true that some people might find a new job due to the expanding of tourism and international trades, that still won't help the country's overall situation. a few thousand people might find new or better jobs to provide for themselves and a few thousand people will lose their land, their homes and the jobs they had to provide for themselves, due to the relocation that has been enforced on them. if anything, it's just going to balance itself out again.
      and if the government doesn't take the money they make from this canal to invest in the school system, the health care or the local infrastructure, nothing about the poverty in nicaragua will change in the long run. to fight poverty people need a better education, they need a working health care system and welfare. none of those things will be achieved just because a very small percentage of nicaragüenses finds a job that pays a little bit better than the one they had before. the nicaraguan government won't use the money for the public needs. ortega and a few others will put the money into their very own pockets. and by the way - the law specifically made for the canal says that for the next ten years, nicaragua will receive an estimated 10 million USD per year for the canal. no politician can honestly believe that an amount this little will make a change in a country as poor as nicaragua. this whole thing is a scam and everybody knows it. the profiteers just don't want to publicly admit it. I lived in nicaragua for a year and I have seen the problems they have. 10 million USD a year of which only a fraction will actually get to the people will not have a valuable impact.

      After the "La Pinata" following the end of the first Sandinista rule I think we can be confident that they will take a "bite" from the new canal.
      The Chinese, of course, will enjoy most of the benefits.
      I think in the long run that we Americans will benefit from this new canal. We will have an easier time shipping items from our East Coast to our West Coast.
      Lake Nicaragua? Would be a shame if it were contaminated by sea water. Especially if the salt water gets into the Nicaraguan aquifers.
      As they say in China, "Time will tell".

    2017 and nothing is happening and if it does there will be an ecological disaster because Lake Nicaragua is too shallow. From what I have read the Chinese company doesn't have the money.

    This project may find more difficulty being profitable than expected. Not only has the Panama Canal been modernized, widened and deepened to handle more and larger ships, but if climate change is to be believed there will be less Arctic sea ice each year as well. The Northwest Passage is a shorter route than Panama between Western Europe and East Asia. If it becomes ice free year round it would be the most efficient shipping route for a large quantity of global shipping. You cannot make money charging transit fees if the ships go elsewhere and do not queue up at the entrance to your canal.

    The poorest country in South America when offered a helping hand resists it instead of negotiating a favorable deal. It is the US intention all along. When the Three Gorges Dam was constructed millions inhabitants, farmers had to give up their homes and farms as well as historicalsite to higher ground. The western city, Chongqing, was a backward town at the far end of the dam project . Now it has become the most modern, eco friendly metropolis in wester China. In a grossly underdeveloped country NIMBY should not play a major stumbling roadblock to national progress.

    Para visualizar el futuro del canal de nicaragua es incierto para el pueblo de nicaragua para los empresariso es obtener los recursos de la inversión a costa de la explotación del pueblo de nicaragua no creo que les pagen los mejores sueldos que se pagan en el canal de panama, les pagara un salario mucho menor y la construcción del canal si va provocar desastres . daños ecológicos al ecosistema y biodiversidad, dela flora y fauna en general y eso no se recupera con todo el oro del mundo y nicaragua no esta preparada para proteger sus ecosistemas, al gobierno de nicaragua solo le interesa el dinero y su bienestar de los que gobiernan el país.

    What happens in Nicaragua is the affair of the Nicaraguan people.
    We Americans have done quite enough down there. I was peripherally involved in the Contra wars. Today I would have kept hands off of Nicaragua. Young people are allowed to be stupid, not older men.

    Coming from a Nicaraguan, the investigative report is true to our nation's reality. I invite any person with real interest on this subject, to read the online versions of the the three major online Nicaraguan newspapers, La Prensa, El Nuevo Diario and Confidencial, they all agree with what this report explains.

    this video is so bias they even made up what the old fisherman said. They did not translated what he said they made it up; wath what he says and what they translate he said. They did not even go to the right place; the man tells them they inaugurated the canal works at a different site. I guess they did not have access to the right spot, so they made one up.
