Detroit, Michigan USA - A delegation from Canada delivered water to Detroit as a protest against the city's water shutoffs. As it tries to recover from bankruptcy, the city is shutting off water to tens of thousands of residents living in poverty who are behind on their bills. Maude Barlow (speaking), national chair of the Council of Canadians, brought water to St. Peter's Episcopal Church, one of the sites activists have set up where residents can go to pick up water if their service has been shut off.
