I am strongly against…

I am strongly against granting a permit Blue Triton to extract water for 10 years. Water is what sustains life, it should not be privatized.

First Nations in Ontario have the right to sovereignty over their lands. Furthermore, the history of natural resource extraction in this province and across Canada and Turtle Island is closely tied to damaging the environment and creating devastating health consequences for indigenous peoples.

The Haudenosaunee Confederacy Council issued a cease-and-desist order two years ago to stop Nestlé from taking the water. In an attempt to avoid this problem, Nestlé has re-branded as Blue Triton. By requesting the permit and making plans to continue taking water, BlueTriton is ignoring Indigenous sovereignty.
