Leah Gazan: “We must not accept this blatant racism and discrimination as normal ... We are in a dire place, my friends.”

Would the Liberal government would be so bold to tell the city of Winnipeg, Calgary or Ottawa that they were committed to progressively realize the human right to clean drinking water in the city?

The government is saying that it cannot move too fast. This is a blatant double standard, which by now has become totally unsurprising from the Carney Liberal government.

The government clearly needs a legal reminder that free, prior and informed consent and the duty to consult and accommodate is not a constitutional option.

They have now confirmed that they do not even recognize clean drinking water as a human right for First Nations.
