Australian Mining Billionaire Sues Canada for $2 Billion

Gina Rinehart’s Northback demands feds pay for finding the Grassy Mountain project too toxic to proceed.

Quote:
Kyla Tienhaara, a Queen’s University professor who studies the impact of investor-state dispute settlements, called Northback’s CPTPP claim “outrageous.”

She termed “preposterous” an investor-state dispute settlement mechanism that “allows for companies to claim compensation for speculative lost future profits rather than just their sunk costs (what they spent, for example, on mining exploration).”
I HATE GINA RINEHART;

I've always had a dream
I'd like to meet Gina
I'd punch her in the face
Yeah that would make me laugh

I'd like to kick her in the teeth
And then I'd take a picture of it
In lovely Ektachrome
And then I'd give it to Danielle
