"Supports" is stretching things way out of shape. "Ignores" or "does not attempt to prevent" might be accurate, depending on what's actually taking place in Peru (about which I have no idea, nor do most Canadians), but to what degree is it acceptable to interfere in another country's politics? Do they expect Canada to enact a trade embargo with Peru to get mining companies headquartered here to stop investing there? This is not stuff we do casually, nor should we.
I emailed them about the headline. This is their official response:
Hello Grant,

We would be pleased to hear information that contradicts the facts stated in this article's title and wouldn't hesitate to change it if it is proven incorrect. As it stands, we consider it to be correct.
Thank you.

I'd translate that as "We're too lazy to do any actual checking, so we're going to dump the responsibility on you in the hope that you'll go away."
Very maga-like behavior.
