Please deny BlueTriton's…

Please deny BlueTriton's permit to continue to drain millions of liters daily of drinking water near Grand River. Please take this action in recognition of the rights of the nearby indigenous community who does not have adequate drinking water; and in recognition that private companies should be limited in their exploitation of our natural resources for profit while being one of the major contributors of plastic pollution globally. Nestlé is extracting precious water on expired permits for next to nothing. Nestlé pays the province of Ontario $503.71 (US$390.38) per million litres. It surely costs more than that to collect and process the waste created by Nestle. And, they pay the Six Nations nothing.

According to the Canadian constitution, the federal government has a “duty to accommodate and consult” First Nations and to make sure other parties do the same when extracting any natural resource, including water, from indigenous land.
