Government of Ontario needs to deny BlueTriton permit to extract Water for Profit

For years, we fought Nestlé’s corporate water grab. But now that Nestlé has sold its North America bottling business, there is a new water thief: BlueTriton.

BlueTriton is now more dangerous than Nestlé. We believe it would be criminal for Ontario let it drain our water for its profit. We say to the Environmental Registry of Ontario: end this water grab once and for all. Deny BlueTriton's permit now.

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.

You must deny BlueTriton's permit.
