70.) 'Please remember to flush the toilet-The people in Ohsweken need water to drink', written on a bathroom wall in a Brantford, Ontario restaurant. And is the 41 million dollar Grand River water filtration plant a human experiment on the people and children of Six Nations. (10 min. read)
A friend relayed this information to me a few years ago. Brantford is located on the Grand River, several miles upstream from Six Nations and the Six Nation's Grand River drinking water intake for Ohsweken, the main village on Six Nations territory.
Brantford is one of many cities, such as Kitchener, Waterloo, Guelph and Cambridge that are upstream from Six Nations, that dump their "effluent"- residential, and hospital sewage, sometimes raw sewage, industrial dumping and storm runoff, directly into the Grand River. Also upstream from Six Nations, you have all the other numerous small towns, villages and houses, that dump their "effulent" directly into the Grand River. This includes, but not limited to the- residential, hospitals, businesses, industrial locations and farms that also dump their "effluent" into the Grand River. Add to that, the illegal dumping of hazardous waste into the Grand River, all upstream from the Six Nations water intake. And of course you have Agent Orange in the Grand River. Agent Orange is Dioxin, the deadliest poison known to man. See previous articles: 32,36,37,38,39.
There is a sign on the northside of the dam in Caledonia, that reads: 'by the year 2020, there's going to be a million and a half people dumping their effluent into the Grand River'. Obviously it's an old sign, but I offer it as a scientific perspective from the Ontario Ministry of the Environment (MOE). Go read the sign for yourself.
There are currently many housing developments and future housing developments sites being built for non-indigenous people near the Grand River, southeast of Six Nations. These housing developments will never be getting there drinking water from the Grand River. Because they know the Grand River is poisonous. Not safe for human consumption.
I'm now using the phrase "non-indigenous people" in place of white people. Because it's been reported in the news that Canada is the number one nation in the world, bringing new immigrants into its country. And to go along with that, India is reportedly to be the most populous country in the world. This is not anti, these are facts. Check them out for yourself.
The Canadian government will be building a brand new drinking water intake on Lake Erie, near Nanticoke, Ontario, for these housing developments. And they will also be building pipelines to bring that safe, clean drinking water from Lake Erie to these housing developments for non-indigenous people.
But not for Six Nation people and their children.
The Six Nation territory is approximately 30 miles/ 50 km from Nanticoke. These housing developments are currently 20 to 40 miles/ 30 to 70 km away from Nanticoke's Lake Erie water intake. But as these housing developments grow in number, they will become further and further away from the Nanticoke water intake, requiring more pipelines. The Grand River is much closer, practically on the doorstep of these developments. The non-indigenous people of these developments will never be drinking the poisonous water of the Grand River. Because they would absolutely refuse to drink this water. The non-indigenous people of these housing developments know that the Grand River is poisonous and unfit for human consumption. Ask any ecologist about the poisonous state of the water in the Grand River.
Only the indigenous people of Six Nations and their children are forced to drink river water, because it is their only source of drinking water. This is mandated by the "Indian Act- six nations elected band chiefs and band council" and the Canadian government. Forcing the people and the children of Six Nations to drink the poisonous water from the Grand River.
Even the people of Brantford, Ontario know this.
Now it could be argued that they don't want to spend 41 million dollars for a Grand River drinking water filtration plant for these housing developments. That it is cheaper to build a new water intake in Nanticoke, Ontario and build multiple new pipelines to these new and growing housing developments.
So this raises the obvious question of: why was a 41 million dollar water filtration plant built on the Grand River for Six Nations People and their Children in the first place? If it's too costly to build one for the non-indigenous housing developments near the Grand River to get their drinking water, why was it not too costly to build one for the People and Children of Six Nations?
Why was the Lake Erie water intake near Nanticoke, not put in place for the people of Six Nations, starting back in the late 1980's, when the first Grand River basic, gravel water filtration plant was built? Instead of the 41 million dollar water filtration plant that was built on the Grand River only for Six Nation people and their children. And in 2013 when it was built, it only served the small village of Ohsweken. Only in the last few years, the pipeline were extended minimally beyond the village of Oshweken.
And remember, at this same time there was a pipeline running along Highway 6 from Hamilton to Port Dover, with clean drinking water for all of the towns and villages along Highway 6, except for Six Nations.
The Canadian government and the "Indian Act-six nations elected band chiefs and band council" were well aware that it was cheaper to tap into that Highway 6 pipeline or build a water intake plant from Nanticoke to Six Nations. Cheaper to do that, then to build a 41 million dollar, drinking water filtration plant on the Grand River for Six Nations People and their children.
So what was the reason to spend $41 million dollars in a water filtration plant, when you had two clearly cheaper sources, to get non-poisonous drinking water to the people of Six Nations.
These are questions to ask the "Indian Act - six nations elected band chiefs and band counselors".
Was this 41 million dollar water filtration plant built, to perform a human experiment on the Six Nation people and their children, to determine if the poisons could successfully be remove from the Grand river. If so, this experiment is now being performed on the Six Nation People and their Children.
This is a tell on how heavily polluted the Grand River water is and scientifically unproven, as safe for human consumption, even after going through a 41 million dollar water filtration plant. "Expendable test subjects" would be needed, for this "treated" Grand River drinking water experiment.
And forcing the Six Nation people to drink the water from that experimental 41 million water filtration plant, could be the necessary scientific experiment, to see if that expensive water filtration plant can actually filter out the deadly poisons in the Grand River. If the people of the Six Nations get sick and die, then you know it doesn't work.
At the opening of this 41 million dollar water filtration plant for Six Nations, a canadian politician was giving an opening speech holding a glass of "purified river water" and someone in the crowd shouted "drink the water". The canadian politician refused to drink the glass of water.
This heinous experiment would be necessary before letting non-indigenous people drink the poisonous water from the Grand River, filtered through a 41 million dollar water filtration plant.
The cancer rate numbers on Six Nations territory are higher than all the surrounding communities around Six Nations. Scientifically speaking, numbers that are greater than random are a clear, scientific indication that there is a problem going on within Six Nations territory with cancer. There are "cancer red zones" on Six Nations, as Health Canada calls them.
What is causing this cancer?
Is this the test result that the Canadian government was looking? To see if that filtration plant would work? If the cancer rates are up on Six Nations, then the filtration plan doesn't work and they're not going to build any more water filtration plants on the Grand River for the non-indigenous people.
A reasonable person would conclude that drinking Grand River water is a major factor for getting cancer, on Six Nations. There are other factors such as cigarette factory uncontrolled poisonous runoff, heavy pesticide spraying of cash crops, poisons leaching out of old Six Nation garbage dumps, and burning garbage, which always releases dioxin into the air.
The Canadian government is saying- let's experiment on the Six Nations people and their children first, to see if it is safe for the non-indigenous people to drink river water.
Many of these poisons like dioxin, which is in Agent Orange, can take 20 to 30 years to show up. These are the cancers, diseases, birth defects and deaths that Agent Orange is known to cause. The first Six Nations water filtration plant was put in the Grand River approximately 30 years ago.
Vietnam War veteran's grandchildren, are now covered under the Agent Orange health bill.
So now, the government will be building a brand new drinking water intake on Lake Erie, near Nanticoke, Ontario, for these non-indigenous housing developments. And they will also be building new pipelines, to bring that safer, clean, Lake Erie drinking water to these housing developments.
Six Nations only source of drinking water is still the Grand River.
Again, the Six Nations territory is approximately 30 miles/50km from Nanticoke. These housing developments are currently, 20 to 40 miles/30 to 70km away from the Nanticoke water intake, as the crow flies. But as these developments increase, they will become further and further away from the Nanticoke water intake, requiring more pipelines. The Grand River is much closer, practically on the doorstep of these developments. Yet the non-indigenous people of these developments, will never be drinking the poisonous water of the Grand River, as the Six Nations people and their children are forced too.
The non-indigenous people of these housing developments know that the Grand River is poisonous and unfit for human consumption. It's common sense. Ask any ecologist about the poisonous state of the water from the Grand River. The ecologists say no one should be drinking that river water.
Only the people of Six Nations are forced to drink it, because it is their only source of drinking water. Only the Indigenous People of Six Nations are mandated by the "Indian Act-six nations elected band chiefs and band council" and the Canadian government, to drink the poisonous water from the Grand River. Right now, as you are reading this.
And the people in Brantford, Ontario are well aware of this.
