Drink Up

Blacklocks- Dozens Still Boil Tap Water

“Currently there are 28 long term drinking water advisories remaining in 26 First Nations communities,” Paula Hadden-Jokiel, assistant deputy minister at the Department of Indigenous Services, testified at the Senate national finance committee. “Of the remaining long term drinking water advisories, all of them have action plans in place,” she added.

Cabinet had promised to ensure all First Nations had safe tap water by March 31, 2021. “The government did not meet is March 31 deadline,” the Budget Office wrote in a 2021 report Clean Water For First Nations.

And now, after a years-long effort by the Canada Border Services Agency to secure Haq’s deportation, the 23-year-old’s removal was stayed at the 11th hour, potentially due to the intervention of the Trudeau government.
