More of something I heard about a while ago, but I really like Harper quiet deals with China, mainly the Canada-China Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Act, which allows Chinese governments to sue Canada if we do anything that hinders Chinese companies profits.

Chinese investors will have the right to challenge our laws with no recourse to Canadian courts

"If this treaty comes into effect, and there's any Chinese ownership whatsoever in assets related to this pipeline—minority ownership, ownership we generally don't know about—then Canada will be exposed to lawsuits under this treaty, because the BC government will be discriminating against a Chinese investor, which is prohibited by the treaty."

"It is true that Chinese investors can sue Canada for any actions by the federal government or the B.C. government (or legislature or courts) relating to Chinese assets connected to the [Enbridge] Northern Gateway pipeline," Van Harten said.

and the best part of it all is everything can be handled secretly in tribunals we will never hear about.



I wish this was more upfront in the news and that people knew about this, this deal with China is so utterly stupid and was debated in parliament for 1 hour....
