BC to sell groundwater to Nestle for $2.25 per million L

[maryjane48]

People sure get all bent out of shape over nothing. Water is a natural renewable resource, and there is more than enough to go around. BC is not selling groundwater to Nestle. Instead, they are charging Nestle the cost of government administration associated with monitoring and regulating water use. Everyone wins because Nestle is providing jobs in British Columbia, and that is where the real money comes into government pockets.

they are creating jobs in france . nestle should be booted out of canada . we can sell our own water . and it is our water in canada . it just shows the corruption of the clark govt willing to prostatute our water to acompany from europe .

Not happy about the rates we are charging, and worried you as the tax payer are subsidizing Nestle and other companies selling our water?

Write a quick email to Mary Polak, BC's environment minister, and tell her:

The legislature is closed until after the election. Perhaps an election issue? Will write a quick email to Steve Thomson , the liberal fellow who is running in my area.

I'd be all in favour of allowing Nestle all the water that they want. Provided that they take it from the aquifer in Spallucheen. You know, the one that is contaminated by the feedlot.

Well, so long as the people drinking the water aren't pregnant.

If this was Mexico, you would all be screaming corruption.
