Water is Life.

Canadian fresh water should not be and should never have been for sale to foreign corporate interests.

Dozens of First Nations communities across Canada have not had access to safe drinking water and meanwhile BlueTriton is pumping clean water from Indigenous lands and bottling it for profit?

The Haudenosaunee Confederacy Council issued a cease-and-desist order two years ago to stop Nestlé from taking this water. By requesting a permit and making plans to continue removing this fresh water BlueTriton shows a continuation of disrespect for both Indigenous sovereignty and Canadian citizens who need to depend on this fresh water.

If you approve this permit your government will make it clear that you prefer foreign corporations and value profits over the people of this province who voted you into power. This new version of Nestlé spun off as BlueTriton is a wonderful opportunity to stop this water from being taken and sold for greed and profit. It belongs to the land and should be made available to Indigenous and Colonial settlers, the people who live here.
