B.C. launches lawsuit against makers of 'forever chemicals' - The defendants are companies that have made perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl
The British Columbia government has filed a class-action lawsuit against manufacturers of so-called "forever chemicals" it says are involved in the widespread contamination of drinking water systems.

“The Province of British Columbia has taken the lead in Canada in prosecuting civil damages claims against corporations that cause widespread public harms to people in B.C., including in recent years against tobacco and opiate manufacturers.
Now that is a good government.
