People in the capital of a Canadian Arctic territory have been told not to use any tap water because it has been contaminated with fuel.
Iqaluit residents started complaining about the smell of petrol in their water at the beginning of October. But city authorities insisted it was safe for nearly a week.
Al Jazeera's Alexandra Byers reports.

To understand why 45 communities in Canada cannot drink their tap water you have to understand that people were forced to live in remote communities away from where their traditional lands by the Canadian government in years past. Where these communities are situated is not by choice or based on practicality.

Another pristine environment destroyed by fossil fuels. Wind energy in this area would be a successfully adequate replacement

Why would they allow for them to drill? We've seen this happen before.

The store charges very expensive bottles of water from Bottle water companies that get their water for next to nothing, Example Nestles gets water from British Columbia almost for free

How's this became inequality? So the local authority ignored perhaps and failed to carry due diligence. How is and why, me as Canadian, responsible for local corrupt leaders? Sorry, I am absolutely perplexed with this video.
And why is this couple realized the danger to their kid now? Why they were not proactive and didn't poke their local authority?
Why the heck our Canadian government is blamed for this negligence? Are these people like babies? Can they take control of their own and their loved ones?
