If you would like to join me in a little boycott, please ... drink tap water only, not bottled water. This will help to prevent Nestle (and any other mega corporation) from grabbing all the power in the water market, and will hopefully end the trend towards any corporation owning the rights to OUR drinking water.

Thanks for listening to and supporting Canadian musicians. One of the best ways to stop the water magnates from obtaining ultimate power over our drinking water is simply to drink tap water, from your good old municipal source. This will also help you appreciate the predicament of those Canadians who do not have access to clean drinking water. This link will take you to the avaaz.org site to sign a petition against some water poisoning in Canada:http://www.avaaz.org/en/stop_the_quarry/?cl=1151556166&v=9557
