Let's not permit the bottling and export of water, especially from Indigenous territory. Surely we have learned by now that such behaviour is totally unacceptable.
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.

Where is the duty to consult if the water is being taken from indigenous lands. And why is Canada allowing a foreign owned company to profit from resources that are life sustaining. Everyone needs to take responsibility for maintaining our potable water supply.

If we can allow companies to siphon water from the land to bottle, especially on indigineous lands we can however have wells built for nations that don’t have this simple commodity. This in turn may help the environment where these folks don’t have to rely on the purchase of plastic bottled water.

I think it is atrocious that enabling corporations to continue bottling fresh water is still being contemplated in this province when there are Indigenous communities without decent water.

Those of us living in the Town of Erin and Hillsburgh strongly object to the application from Blue Triton (alias Nestle) to draw millions of litres of drinking water for bottling. Local Council voted in favour of Nestle at the town meeting where people turned out in huge numbers to stop it.

Enough of this horrible company and enough of our politicians selling our water at a giveaway price and compromising our water sources and natural environment.
Water is a right of all humans. Not a Property. There should be no renewal of any water extraction permit for the purpose of putting it in plastic bottles and reselling it.
That is one of the worst things we do to this planet. Plastic non returnable bottles.
Sincerely.

Nestle has robbed Canada of its.watwr for too many years. How about building a water filtering plant and/or staff to manage it for the natives without clean drinking water for 25 years.
Our water is not for sale...it is a natural resource. It should be respected and not given away to companies to make huge profits on. These companies are poor corporate citizens; they take from all and give little back.

Why are we selling our most precious resource and not gaining anything from it? There is a reason why Triton want to buy our water because the government is selling it so cheaply, they can just turn an easy profit on it. Enough is enough, keep Ontarios water as a public commodity.
Nestle has a terrible record of taking advantage of any situation where they can use other peoples supply of water. Along, also, with paying as little for it as possible.

Selling our ground water to for-profit packaging companies is a betrayal of our children and our responsibility to leave the earth in better condition than we got it. As caretakers of some of the biggest reserves of fresh water in the world, it falls to us to behave thoughtfully with this task.

We do not need another water bottling company that has the same agenda of tapping into Ontario communities water systems for corporate profits. Bue Triton is another Nestle. Keep them out.
