I strongly oppose this PTTW for the same reasons I opposed bottling by Nestlé Waters Canada.
First, water is a public good and should be held in public stewardship, not be for sale as a commodity. Second, water is taken without the consent of First Nations and despite a cease-and-desist order issued two years ago (June 7, 2019) by the Haudenosaunee Confederacy Council, the traditional leadership of Six Nations on the Grand, Nestlé/BlueTriton continue to ignore Indigenous sovereignty.

The bottling plant in Aberfoyle will continue to package water in single use plastic bottles -- millions of them every day – half of which result in litter or end up in a landfill. Single use plastic has a heavy carbon footprint in its life-cycle from production to distribution, and breaks down into microplastics, a growing threat to wildlife and human health.

In addition, Triton Waters entry into Ontario is part of a global trend of investors betting that the increasing scarcity of water (projected to worsen as climate crisis deepens) will make them rich.

WATER IS FOR LIFE - NOT FOR PROFIT!!
