Forget CO2, It's All About H2O Now!

Water should be a human right! Yes, you heard me, a human right, so says Maude Barlow, Chairperson, of the Council for Canadians. So forget about global warming. H2O is the new flavour of the month/century.

Not content to rely on the global warming scare tactics, the lefties are protesting water. I've searched their site to see what they are doing about it, other than bleating to the UN trying to get a resolution passed, I can't find any evidence that they have actually dug one well in Africa.

What the site seems to promote, is well, Maude Barlow. It's all Maude, all the time.

Here's one of their campaigns, against flower growers in Kenya.

“The farms surround Lake Naivasha. They deplete its waters and poison them with pesticides,” said Maude Barlow, national chairperson of the Council of Canadians. “They are sowing the seeds of economic and environmental devastation that, unless stopped, inevitably will yield a harvest of poverty, water deprivation, and violence.

So right, let's target businesses who are employing people, who can then feed their families. She has help.

Access to clean, fresh water is essential for people and nature, and the UN is starting to take note. In September 2007, at the 6th Session of the UN Human Rights Council, the High Commissioner for Human Rights, Canadian Louise Arbour, presented her report outlining states’ obligations under the right to water.

Madame Arbour’s report called for stronger regulations governing water companies, including penalties for corporations that commit human rights abuses and restrict people’s right to water.

Maybe Maude should look closer to home. Oh wait, she has!

This is what they want to do to Alberta!

Well that should go over well with Albertans, a NEP II, lovely.

How about food for people? With global warming, they must be really concerned about food, nope, last news release about food was in January of 2006. Guess they are too busy advocating about water to care that people are starving.

Is your grocery bill going up? You're not alone

MEXICO CITY - If you’re seeing your grocery bill go up, you’re not alone.

From subsistence farmers eating rice in Ecuador to gourmets feasting on escargot in France, consumers worldwide face rising food prices in what analysts call a perfect storm of conditions. Freak weather is a factor. But so are dramatic changes in the global economy, including higher oil prices, lower food reserves and growing consumer demand in China and India.

Here's a suggestion lefties, go up to the Arctic, harness that melting polar ice, maybe the polar bears can help you, and send it to Africa, problem solved. What's that? You only advocate, you don't actually DO anything? How about signing petitions?

Like this one:



Right, that's what I thought! Try finding out who the Council of Canadians get their money from, it's sure not in their Annual Report, which reads more like a press release than financial statements. Guess lefties know nothing about accounting, only advocating. Oh, they do has lessons for teachers, so they can brainwash our kids. Nice.
