Waterloo Region had the same thing happen. A bunch of councillors bought up properties along the LRT route prior to the public announcement of its construction.

So disgusting that politicians see politics as a means to fatten their wallets & not to serve the public.

Need better people in office.

Imagine the outrage in S. Ontario if that was the case? I grew up on a farm not too far from Walkerton.

That water disaster is never forgotten (and rightfully so).

Wonder why the remaining 35+ First Nations communities without safe water aren't in the news daily? Whatever could the reason be? 🤨

So Carney's announcement has a "Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow" feel to it.

Water rights are human rights. Canada's record on clean water for First Nations doesn't hold water! 5/5

In 2015, Justin Trudeau promised to end ALL DWAs (drinking water advisories) in First Nations communities within 5 years.

10 years later, there remain 35 active DWAs. Neskantaga First Nation's DWA has been in effect for 30 years!

Perhaps it would interfere with free trade agreements that would see water as a commodity to be bought and sold? The pesky UN resolution would get in the way of making money off of something that is essential for life.

Why would Harper and the Conservatives oppose this UN Water Resolution?

Perhaps because they were opposed to any measure that would force them to do something about the water in First Nations communities?

Appreciate it!
