Alberta rallies part of solidarity move

Cold Lake First Nation’s Elder Nancy Scannie addressed a crowd from the steps of the Alberta Legislature on April 12, saying, “Our water is so important. Without our water we are nothing… nothing would be alive… let’s all help one anoth  er right across this country….” Scannie, also a member of the Keepers of the Water, rallied the group that all the Harper government cared about was money. The gathering in Edmonton and a smaller one in Calgary were part of a coordinated effort across the country to protest the premiers meeting on climate change in Quebec.
