Thread Name: BS: Water -our next war?
Subject: RE: BS: Water our next war?
And is it your contention that the way to keep your environment clean is to ship your trash to the States? There are other examples. But the main point that I believe should be made is that we must strengthen environmental compacts with Canada. Our two countries have much in common. You have use problems with vehicles as well, based on what I have seen on the 401 and 402 in and around Toronto. NYC, Chicago, Detroit .... they have nothing on T.O. My point is that we need to concentrate on what we have in common. I have heard comments here in the last few weeks from strident voices suggesting that the USA might try and forcibly take Canadian water. I find that preposterous. To be sure a global water policy must be established, and I agree wholeheartedly that all nations, and especially the US, must learn to conserve and protect the waters. But this constant bashing is very one sided and not accurate.
