The changes to the Water Act are flying under the radar because of everything else that is happening in Alberta.
But it is very bad legislation and it's being done for some nefarious purpose, I'm sure. Especially since the changes are supported by the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers.
And, of course there are data centres planned for all over the province.
“Bill 7 is not a technical amendment; it is a fundamental shift in how water is controlled, allocated, and transferred in Alberta. By advancing this legislation without First Nation involvement, Alberta is eroding the Treaty relationship and failing to uphold its legal and moral obligations,” says Grand Chief Trevor Mercredi.
