Here is a report about how the living dead (a.k.a. corporations) appear to have a greater right to exist than do REAL living persons:
Corporate giant NestlĂ© continued its privatization creep on Thursday as it won approval to take over another Canadian community’s water supply, claiming it needed the well to ensure “future business growth.”
Nestlé purchased the well near Elora, Ontario from Middlebrook Water Company last month after making a conditional offer in 2015, the Canadian Press reports.
In August, the Township of Centre Wellington made an offer to purchase the Middlebrook well site to protect access to the water for the community. Consequently, the multinational - which claimed it had no idea the community was its competitor - waived all its conditions and matched the township’s offer in order to snag the well for itself.

Allowing governments to seize our air, water, and soil and sell them to corporations is an INSANE idea. This is absolute proof that governments no longer serve the living.
The end result will be that corporations will survive, while We The People will die.
By the way, this is a global phenomenon. See http://deutsche-wirtschafts-nachrichten.de/2016/09/25/staedtetag-warnt-vor-privatisierungen-nach-ceta/ (translation required)
