BlueTriton could be even…

BlueTriton could be even more dangerous than Nestlé. It has just applied for a 10-year renewal of Nestlé’s permit to take water out of Ontario for bottling. And because BlueTriton isn’t a household name yet, this “new Nestlé” is betting that there won’t be any public resistance to securing its permit.

Together we must show BlueTriton that we are not going to just roll over and let it drain our water for its profit. If enough Ontarians like you speak out before the Environmental Registry of Ontario’s consultation closes on June 22nd, we can end this water grab once and for all.

The Haudenosaunee Confederacy Council issued a cease-and-desist order two years ago to stop Nestlé from taking the water. By requesting the permit and making plans to continue the water grab, BlueTriton is ignoring Indigenous sovereignty. Just like Nestlé did.

So while dozens of First Nations communities across Canada have not had access to safe drinking water for at least a year, BlueTriton is pumping clean water from Indigenous lands and bottling it for profit.

BlueTriton is betting that the increasing scarcity of clean water will make its investors rich. It’s clear that the corporation values profits over people. And that is why this “new Nestlé” must be stopped.
