JFC it's THE RIGHT THING TO DO. This is the 21st century. EVERYONE in Canada should have access to drinkable water. "You can't make me" is the weakest argument.
I wish I could upvote more since this is exactly what I was going to say. This is infuriating.
You know itโs not that easy right. We build plants then the tribes donโt maintain them and they break down. In those situations what is the government supposed to do? Then there is money they has been paid for this but it just disappeared.
It absolutely is. The "how" is hard. The "what" is something we all should have learned in kindergarten.
Spend money on getting clean water to living humans. Ask for help. Spend more money. Ask for more help. Focus on the problem until it is solved.
The same thing they do for everyone else. Keep it running because people NEED water to live.
That sounds like an attempt to solve the problem that should be set aside in favour of a new approach. Listen, I'm not going to pretend that its an easy solution. It is obviously something that has challenged us in the past. But that knowledge should invigorate the discussion to find an actual effective solution. Everyone in Canada has the right to cleanly available drinking water.
