Big Trout Lake First Nations Being Sued

Jack Mckay of the Big Trough Lake First Nations in Ontario, Canada, told the attendees at the Protecting Mother Earth Conference that his reserve has a large deposit of platinum on it. They also have many species of plants and wildlife that would be threatened by mining, as well as the humans in the area. As punishment for successfully stopping the "genocidal" mining companies, the are being sued under (I believe) FTAA guidelines. Check this out, you won't believe this, or, maybe you will. They are being sued by the mining corporation for...wait for it...$11.5 BILLION. That's correct, $11.5 BILLION! All for not allowing genocide to occur on their reservation by a mining company. It is the alleged amount of money the corporation says they could make from the rape and destruction of the Big Trout Lake First Nations Reserve. If they can't rape'm, they'll rob 'em. Like the reserve has that kind of money, but the Canadian government I'm sure would enjoy watching the destruction of this Native Nation.
