Think of how much the tar sands companies will be paying.... A Canadian court has ordered three tobacco companies to pay 15.5bn Canadian dollars (£8bn; $12bn) - the largest award for damages in the country's history. The plaintiffs were Quebec smokers who said the firms failed to warn them of health risks associated with smoking. Imperial Tobacco, Rothmans Benson & Hedges and JTI-MacDonald vowed to appeal against the decision. The class-action lawsuits were filed in 1998, but only recently went to trial. The firms argued that Canadians have had a "high awareness" of smoking health risks since the 1950s. = "The Founders’ Model of Welfare Actually Reduced Poverty" Slavery does that.
