We must end boil water advisories in Indigenous communities across Ontario, listen to the demands @FreeGrassy & acknowledge our roles as electeds in continuing to perpetuate colonial violence. We are on stolen land. Remembering the violence isn't enough. #TruthAndReconciliation

In relation to its addition to public water supplies anyway:
It is in so low a concentration as to be a net boon for public health (for those with less good dental health practices, at least).
If anti-authoritarians want to rail against ruling-class hydroecotoxicology they should concentrate on state complicity in absolutely poisonous matters such as #GrassyNarrows First Nation (and surely others).

Otherwise...: it's kinda cool for its reactivity(?).

Since 2018 there have been over 5,000 #mining claims made in Grassy Narrows because of Doug Ford’s refusal to withdraw the area from mining & logging activity. Instead, Doug Ford allows “free entry” throughout the area so that corporations can stake mining claims from the comfort of their living rooms without giving prior notice to Grassy Narrows.

Tell Doug Ford No Mining On Anishinaabe Territory!

No Mining On Anishinaabe Territory

This system allows companies and individuals to stake mining claims on First Nations lands from the comfort of their offices, without gaining the consent of the Indigenous people who live there. You have stated that we need to “listen to Indigenous voices and ensure they are heard loudly and clearly.” Your government’s refusal to respect Grassy Narrows’ Indigenous Protected Area completely contradicts your own words. This is not in the spirit of reconciliation that your government espouses to...
