This story certainly underscores a point I've long maintained -simply because I'm familiar with how the system works (or more likely fails).  Clearly, the issue lies with the Feds and their silly way of trying to get things done on the cheap, with little in the way of foresight, and less in afterthought.  Doesn't matter if right or left wing settlers run the government, it is the system itself that repeatedly fails our Aboriginal neighbours....and some settlers heap further issues by blaming Aboriginal leadership when the story states that Aboriginal leadership is often ignored -or worse yet- punished for trying to address these water problems with the Feds.  The bottom line is that the Feds do everything in a substandard way that would fail the basic provincial legislation, time and again.  This is a complete failure by the Crown...and before some folks get their undies in a knot, the Crown is to blame, not individual "white people" as many bigots like to espouse.
