Comments for Water On The Table

Comment on U.N. Vote: Global Victory for Water but Canada abstains by Peggy Peterson

Congratulations to all the world and my heartfelt thankyou to Maude Barlow for her continued effort on behalf of the world’s water. I would also like to again thank Liz Marshall for her inspiration to create “Water on the Table”. A film that reminds us that there is still work to do so let’s all help in every way we can to support that effort. My thanks too to the many people who have in some way helped with this victory for water at the UN. Now let’s keep water in the hearts and minds of our communities so we can continue to move forward on this universal issue. Canada has work to do and we can all be apart of making that happen.

Let’s all take a moment together and celebrate a great day for water!

Dear Maude,

I went to the premiere of Water On The Table last night and I want to tell you (and Liz as well) that I took away a lot of information and a ton of inspiration.

I am proud to be a member of the Council for Canadians – and I want to thank you for your years of efforts and dedication in trying to make Canada and the world a better place.

All the best for the upcoming UN deliberations – hoping for what is seemingly impossible but absolutely necessary.

Maryse Lepage

Hello Mrs. Barlow , I saw the trailer for “Water On The Table”, and cannot wait to see it ! I strongly support the maxim that water, above all else, must be protected and shared equitably if we are to avoid the utter calamity that many of us see in the near future…If you are open to suggestions on how we can create a solution at the U.N. level, I have an idea that may work… I look forward to your reply… With utmost sincerity, Tracy

Dear Maude,

Your determination that water must never be treated as a commodity and must be protected has gained in public understanding and support. We’re looking forward to seeing your film. Best wishes, Dorothy Inglis

Dearest Maude,

I say good morning to your picture every day as it sits on my dresser. Do you remember the one you sent me? I am wearing my dangly earrings as usual and you are listening with deep amusment at something I’m saying. It’s such a reminder of our marvellous times together, when every serious discussion, and they were many, was also sprinkeld with hilarity. You enriched my life, as you have done to so many others, lucky enough to be working with you, and your work has awakened the world. Gordon and I are so looking forward to seeing your film. All our love. Dorothy

I am anxiously waiting for the this movie to air again on TVO. We were out of the country when it last aired and sadly, there is no way I will be in Vancouver in April for its viewing there.

I am also hoping that the DVD is viewed in every single elementary school and highschool, by every single child and teen in this country. It is necessary for our future generations to be made aware of the clean drinking water ’situation’ as it stands today. Water IS a human right, just like the air we breathe.

I was told by friends who already viewed WOTT, that it is wonderful.

Thank heaven for people like Maude and Liz.

Sincerely,

Donna Deneault – Toronto

Watched the doc last night and really enjoyed it. Maude is such a passionate character. You really captured her spirit. It was a very personal essay….hard to do those self-narrated docs and at the same time start a discussion about something as complex seemingly as water. But I thought you accomplished that. It had a really beautiful look too…. I loved the cross fade from the tree roots to the dam….very powerful. I’m sure your film will inspire change!
Congrats to the whole team.

It’s about time the world started listening to Maude Barlow. If we dont, will wish we had in a few years.
