As a concerned citizen of Ontario I believe that the moratorium should be extended.
Why, when residents and farmers are being asked to cut back on their water use, is the government of Ontario siding with a water-hungry transnational water corporation?
The planet is running out of clean freshwater and there is a mighty contest between those who would control dwindling supplies for personal profit and those who insist water is a common heritage that must be fiercely protected and more equitably shared. In many ways, this effort to protect an important aquifer in a small Ontario community is a microcosm of the global fight against corporate ownership of water.
Water is a shared public resource that belongs to all.
Nestlé should be sent packing.
