Nestlé Water out of Canada
“Community groups, First Nations, residents across the country and Council of Canadian supporters have persistently challenged Nestlé’s water takings in Wellington County, Ontario and Hope, British Columbia. This is their victory against the multi-national giant,” says Vi Bui, water campaigner with the Council of Canadians. “This is a victory for the people of Ontario. This is a response by Nestle to public pressure,” said Robert Case, chair of Wellington Water Watchers, an advocacy group that had heavily criticized Nestle’s purchase of the Middlebrook well in Elora.
Environmentalists cheer as Nestle sells Canadian water business

Two Spirit
For anyone who is not sure what Two Spirit is here is an article with a good round up
“While the term Two Spirit was coined in 1990 in Winnipeg, Canada as a means of unifying various gender identities and expressions of Native American/First Nations/Indigenous individuals, the term is not a specific definition of gender, sexual orientation or other self-determining catch-all phrase, but rather an umbrella term.”
Tony Enos on Understanding the Two Spirit Community

(Photo: Tony Enos) The Wild Reed’s 2017 Queer Appreciation series continues with words (and music) of insight and hope from Tony Enos (), a Cherokee and Native Philadelphian singer/songwriter and dancer who identifies as a Two Spirit person.
