I'm surprised something as serious as this got such little coverage. Usually this is stuff I read about happening in other countries due to private interests, not in Canada that supposed to be a supporter of basic rights.

We talked about this in my Indigenous Peoples Human Rights class last week as part of a student-run seminar on water. Well, the prof brought it up...
Anyways, from what they described, the privatization of water would actually would be affecting ALL communities, and not just FN.
