A new report finds that much of Canada's tap water remains at risk from contamination.
The Ecojustice report says progress in protecting water after the Walkerton disaster in Ontario a decade ago has faded.
The report finds only Ontario among the provinces worthy of an A grade for its water-protection efforts. Nova Scotia received an A minus, with other provinces picking up a B or C grade and the three territories ranging from C to D-.
The report says the federal government comes off worst — picking up an F — for a record that continues to worsen.
Ontario: A
Nova Scotia: A-
Manitoba: B+
New Brunswick: B+
Newfoundland and Labrador: B
Prince Edward Island: B-
Quebec: B-
Saskatchewan: B-
British Columbia: C+
Northwest Territories: C
Alberta: C-
Yukon: D+
Nunavut: D
Federal Government: F
I'm surprized that Manitoba scored as high as it did considering the untreated sewage that Winnipeg has pumped into the Red River and Lake Winnipeg. Then again, this seems to be more about 'policy' rather than practice, and what good are laws if they aren't enforced/implemented?
