Our politicians must stop any idea of selling our water to America

BY STEVEN KASZAB

Ontario has 250,000 lakes, which hold one-fifth the world’s freshwater supply. A precious fact. We want to let you know that corporations with their public administrative allies have targets pointed at our water supply and will do whatever needs to be done to get their hands upon it.

Droughts in America’s Midwest and Western states have created a whirlwind of crisis management, with various public and private concerns looking for fresh water. They have found this massive reserve here in: Ontario, Manitoba and Quebec.

Lobbyists are filling the hallways of our Parliament’s devising, challenging, offering cash, treaty officialdom to our elected politicians and bureaucrats alike. Now I’m not saying hidden agreements are being made, bribes offered and received, but one can imagine American expectations. America expects their ally Canada and their friend Premier Ford to cough up water leases easily. Now we are talking about long term leases that do not terminate until our water supply dwindles. The Ford Administration is friendly to anything that allows them to claim jobs and wealth are coming into our province. Never seen Premier Ford turn away from a good offer. American treaties and financial offerings for our water will not be to our benefit, just as the EV Battery Agreements that have remained hidden are.

Canadians have cities that are running out of water and are forced to put a stop to private businesses that have agreements allowing them to bottle water at the source. What we are talking about is pipelines transporting not oil, but our fresh water. You may not know this, but our fresh water is not fully renewable, as the weather is haphazardly changing each year.

We cannot rely upon promises made by Ford Administration natural resources officials that once our lakes start to dry up, they will replenish themselves. No Sir!

Our politicians must stop any idea of selling our water to America, or anyone else for that matter. Once gone, perhaps gone for good. Remember thousands of our neighbors can live without love, but no one can live without water!
