the canadian view on water wars

Whether or not a U.S. invasion is in the cards, the writer does justly give credit to Congressman Bart Stupak of Michigan for trying to make some sense out of U.S. water policy while he defends the Great Lakes.

Laugh if you want, but if the U.S. is ever going to invade Canada, it is going to be to gain access to our fresh water supplies. California, Arizona and New Mexico are just three of the states in desperate need of fresh water to grow their crops that feed the U.S. consumer and large portions of the world.

I have followed this situation for 48 years in the world of media, and if you don't think this scenario has any chance of playing out, I would ask you to try pouring oil on your pancakes and try to make coffee and tea by boiling oil.
