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!

"The new corporation could set water rates for municipal residents, as a privately owned, for-profit organization. Municipalities would have to transfer all their water and wastewater assets, staff, debt, contracts and infrastructure to the new body." 🤮

Finally drove the 200 km from Toronto to my little farm. Beautiful day. Only some drifting snow on the way. My property has maybe 15 cm of fresh snow now.

Impeach, convict, remove.

And if our current leaders won’t do it, they need to step aside for people who will.

The President of the United States is publicly calling for the political prosecution of his political opponents, urging the death penalty because they urged soldiers to uphold the rule of law.

This should be front page news everywhere. It is not, which tells much about how we got to this point.

This is an important article for anyone British to read. Unlike commercial media, this report is researched & based on expertise. Children are being used by the British govt for ideological reasons & suffering. Children, even* trans ones, deserve dignity.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.
