Synopsis

Water Confidential, Susan’s first memoir, was selected by the Congress of Humanities and is now included in Indigenous Studies in universities across Canada. Water Confidential was also selected by BC Education to be included in curriculum for grades ten through twelve Science and Social Studies classes in BC.

In this sequel, Water Justice: What You Don’t Know Could Kill You, Susan gives readers a current account of issues threatening safe drinking water in Canada, highlighting the degree of government negligence surrounding both safe drinking water and source water protection. Showing how urban and rural Canadians are also at risk of severe health implications, that access to safe drinking water is not only an Indigenous issue, mostly due to polluted source waters that have no boundaries.

Sharing many instances of apparent denial, or perhaps indifference, by politicians of all colours, Susan compares the lax Canadian guidelines for drinking water to more robust regulations existing in all other G7 countries. Susan compares the failing state of drinking water, combined with both quality and quantity of source waters, to the failing state of democracy and how corporations and their lobbyists are really the people governing Canada.

The big dilemma, what are Canadians supposed to do when politicians are deaf to citizens’ voices, when petitions are ignored as irrelevant, when elected politicians refuse to consider their constituents opinions and continue to listen to lobbyists instead.

Water Justice is a call to action, essential reading for anyone who cares about future generations and believes in protecting source waters as the most critical component of ensuring access to truly safe drinking water.

What You Don’t Know Could Kill You. Please join us to take back control of our water and our democracy. Together we can make a difference.
