I am totally against this proposal, it is disgusting that this proposal is even being considered.
I have listed a few reasons below why I feel this way.

1.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.

2.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.

3.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.

The needs and rights of people have to be put ahead of a corporation's profits.
