Remember Walkerton and the changes since to ensure water safety?
“Municipalities run drinking water systems under strict rules created after the Walkerton scandal in 2,000, when contaminated water killed seven people and sickened more than 2,000.”
No privatization of our water!

it can often seem

testing positive for Covid

but you must understand
that this is not because
celebrities are
the only people
still contracting Covid
but that most people
no longer bother testing.
