water and politics
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

let's get to basics...water is connected to every part of our lives. essential to life...it puzzles me that we can't get the basics right sometimes. mining companies dump their waste, north america puts flouride into their communities water supply when the risks far outweigh the benefits(and flouride is actually toxic waste and a byproduct of aluminium production), and much of Africa is forced to drink water that is not fit to drink. i'm drawn to water politics but it's absurd........
and that brings me to today where i went to a press conference at Queen's Park, the Ontario government building. i'm currently working with citizens for a safe environment to advocate against flouridation. for more info go to
www.flouridealert.org
i was given a book called the flouride deception by Christopher Bryson which i started to read on the way home and i'm determined to read and learn more..............

also i had coffee(organic!)with Frank De Jong and Sharon Howarth about the upcoming Green Party of Canada conference and some of the issues that are being voted on and health came up.
absurdities again how can someone be against the gov't paying for medication and then support sexual reassignment surgery? In politics you have to have to have a heart and think anyalitically and look at the complexities......i hope i can do that well as i go to vote on green party policy.

Water is our identity
Dear its nice to read very impressive thing on water.
I belong to sindhi community in which water is our identity. River Indus is its core symbol in our culture. we are in continous struggle against big project of Kalabag dam . It does not mean that we are anti development but we support centuries old rivers existence and its symbolic attachment with our land. Govet of pakistan try to destroy Indus river with tact of building Mega Dams which are also against environment .
