I think this two mining companies should be bared from buying in Argentina, did we learn anything from what Canadian mining companies did to natice Canadians and their waters and forest ? what a joke, let them in a slap them both with a 80% tax fee.

no retard likes the true, and #2 you are not an exemption, I bid anythig you are white and could careless what Canadian did to natives and their drinking waters, I think with an 80% tax fee we can fix whatever pollution they create, democrzy is wonderfull, english companies in islas Malvinas and Canadian corporations should be meassured with the same stick, and be forced to pay tax fees that fix the damages they create to the environment.

Please tell me what Canadians did to natives and what they did to their drinking water. I do not mean what YOU THINK they did, but what back-up facts that you have. Also, are not native Canadians also Canadians?

“english companies in islas Malvinas and Canadian corporations should be meassured with the same stick, and be forced to pay tax”

You can't force companys in the falklands to pay you 80% tax. Get a grip on reality.

yes we can #5 land theft doesn't protect pirats from being sued or charged or fined or expropiated or their country pinalized for breaking laws, in Argentina we can do anything we want, and if we have to go to every british company expropiate their assets like we did in 2001 with the supermarkets, I doubt there is anything UK can do to protect their citizens in Argentina from the riots. give it time when we are ready I'll let you know, taxing 80% from a Canadian firm is much like taxing britards, same diference.
