C.I.A. Is Linked to Trucker Strikes In Chile That Beset Allende 1973
WASHINGTON, Sept. 19 —The Central Intelligence Agency secretly financed striking labor unions and trade groups in Chile for more than 18 months before President Salvador Allende Gossens was overthrown, intelligence sources revealed today.
They said that the majority of more than $8‐million authorized for clandestine C.I.A. activities in Chile was used in 1972 and 1973 to provide strike benefits and other means of support for anti‐Allende strikers and workers...
Among those heavily subsidized, the sources said, were the organizers of a nationwide truck strike that lasted 26 days in the fall of 1972, seriously disrupting Chile's economy and provoking the first of a series of labor crises for President Allende.
Direct subsidies, the sources said, also were provided for a strike of middle‐class shopkeepers and a taxi strike among others, that disrupted the capital city of Santiago in the summer of 1973, shortly before Mr. Allende was over thrown by a military coup.

On September 11 in 1973 the democratically elected president of Chile, Salvador Allende,
was overthrown by DICTATOR General Augusto Pinochet. In the aftermath, 3,000
leftists were murdered, tens of thousands tortured and hundreds of thousands driven
from the country...
The Pierre Trudeau government was hostile to Allende’s elected government.
In 1964 Eduardo Frei defeated the openly Marxist Allende in presidential elections.
Worried about growing support for socialism, Ottawa gave $8.6 million to Frei’s Chile,
its first aid to a South American country. When Allende won the next election,
Canadian assistance disappeared. Export Development Canada (EDC) also refused to
finance Canadian exports to Chile, which contributed to a reduction in trade between
the two countries. This suspension of EDC credits led Chile’s Minister of Finance to
criticize Canada’s “banker’s attitude.” But suspending bilateral assistance and export
insurance was not enough. In 1972 Ottawa joined Washington in voting to cut off all
money from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to the Chilean government.
(When Allende was first elected, Western banks, including Canada’s, withdrew from Chile.)
From economic asphyxiation to diplomatic isolation, Ottawa’s policy towards Allende’s
Chile was clear. After he won office in 1970, Allende invited Pierre Trudeau to visit Santiago.
Ottawa refused “for fear of alienating rightist elements in Chile and elsewhere.”
Days after Pinochet ousted Allende, Andrew Ross, Canada’s ambassador to Chile, cabled
External Affairs:
“Reprisals and searches have created panic atmosphere affecting particularly
expatriates
including the riffraff of the Latin American Left to whom Allende gave asylum …
the country has been on a prolonged political binge under the elected Allende government
and the junta has assumed the probably thankless task of sobering Chile up.” (emphasis added)
Thousands were incarcerated, tortured and killed in “sobering Chile up.”
Within three weeks of the coup, Canada recognized Pinochet’s military junta. Ross stated: “I can see no useful purpose to withholding recognition unduly. Indeed, such action might even tend to delay Chile’s eventual return to the democratic process.” Pinochet stepped down 17 years later.
Diplomatic support for Pinochet led to economic assistance. Just after the coup Canada voted for a $22-million ($100 million in today’s money) Inter American Development Bank loan “rushed through the bank with embarrassing haste.” Ottawa immediately endorsed sending $95 million from the International Monetary Fund to Chile and supported renegotiating the country’s debt held by the Paris Club. After refusing to provide credits to the elected government, on October 2, 1973, EDC announced it was granting $5 million in credit to Chile’s central bank to purchase six Twin Otter aircraft from De Havilland, which could carry troops to and from short makeshift strips.
By 1978, Canadian support for the coup d’etat was significant. It included:....
...A 1976 Latin America Working Group Letter noted that “Canadian economic relations,
in the form of bank loans, investments and government supported financial assistance
have helped consolidate the Chilean dictatorship and, by granting it a mantle of
respectability and financial endorsation, have encouraged its continued violation of human rights.”...
