All living things need to breathe and
to drink. Our
are 70%
water. Our planet is 71% water. One fifth of the world's
supply is located in Canada. Water is a public trust
and a vital irreplaceable
. We need
to
it for ourselves and for
generations. No one should be allowed to
our water
supply out from under us and then force us to buy it back, one drop
at a time. Today, in communities across canada, water services are
under threat. Corporations are targeting cash strapped
governments, offering them a quick financial fix
to today's pressing cash flow problems, by selling off
of our water supply. Canadians have learned from experience that the
sector only gets involved in services when they see a
clear opportunity for
. When it comes to
resources and meeting basic human needs,
we believe the public is best served by keeping control safely in the
hands of the
as a whole. Help us ensure
our federal, provincial and municipal governments work to
our water supply.
