As a citizen of Ontario, I believe that water resources should be managed by the province. I am opposed to granting extraction rights to BlueTriton and the privatization of our fresh water resources. In a time when drought and forest fires are so prevalent throughout North America, why would we give away our rights to fresh water? Nestlé and BlueTriton have shown little regard for the drought crisis of California and wish to continue extracting fresh water regardless of the environmental impact. Secondly I believe that the First Nations have the right to block such a proposal should they wish. Native people have been, and continue to be ignored when decisions such as this proposed water extraction project be allowed to happen. Fresh water too important to allow this kind of short sited profiteering.
