Public water should not be put up for sale, ever. I'm not confident about this coalition because words are important - their words sound like they are OK negotiating sales of public water - it sounds like covert greenwashing. We need degrowth of ecocide industries & watershed protection for ecological, environmental & human rights purposes - above all other purposes.
Commodifying public water is not in the best interests of the public.

Right now, #BritishColumbia has the lowest industrial #water rates in #Canada - effectively giving away one of our most vital #PublicResources to some of the world’s largest industries. Meanwhile, communities are left struggling to fund the response to worsening droughts, floods, wildfires, and drinking water crises.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

Bringing BC’s industrial water rates in line with other provinces is a fair, practical way to:

Fund stronger watershed security
Support sustainable economic growth.
Keep communities safe and resilient to floods, fires, and water shortages.
Safeguard BC jobs, grow food, and protect the economy — every industry depends on water.
Do it all without costing taxpayers a dime.
This is a simple, fair, and fiscally responsible solution that will build long-term watershed security across BC.

Investing in #WatershedSecurity aligns with the values of a significant majority of voters, as 78% of British Columbians want to see major investments from the provincial government to protect freshwater in BC.
