OTTAWA – Free trade critics say a $250-million damage suit being pursued as a result of Quebec’s moratorium on fracking is proof Canada needs to be careful in negotiating trade pacts around the world.
The Council of Canadians, the Sierra Club and Quebec-based Eau secours say the suit by Lone Pine Resources Inc. (TSX:LPR) shows that trade deals that include investor protection clauses are a bad idea because they can prevent governments from passing laws to protect the environment.
Our cool, collected and oh so casual PM is receiving legal advice, re the pony tail issue. Hmmm … the plot is thickening.
Are NZ Government exposing us taxpayers to this? during TPPA?

I like this man he has balls.
We need someone like this man and others to mount cases against the tyranny of what we see coming out of government today.
