Alberta is updating its Water Act. One group worries it could lower N.W.T. water levels | CBC News

An indigenous group dedicated to protecting northern waterways is worried that proposed changes to water laws in Alberta will further lower N.W.T. rivers and lakes and worsen communities’ ability to travel, hunt, fish and ship goods.

David Suzuki tempers his statement somewhat on #climateBreakdown. https://rabble.ca/environment/is-it-too-late-to-escape-climate-catastrophe/

@TheBreach 💯 Exactly what is happening!! "This worn-out stereotype justifies a narrow, corporate-driven version of #reconciliation. Instead of governments fulfilling their obligations to #Indigenous people, we are left with simplistic corporate formulas of jobs and growth and told to get on board—or get out of the way."
