Well, judging from past Harper deal with US - we will give them all the water..plus a Billion dollars - and then blame it on the Liberals.

Actually, the Liberals wouldn't give the water to the Americans. Instead, they'd drain all the lakes in the West and pipe it for consumption in Ontario and Quebec and maybe a bottle or two in Atlantic Canada.

How ironic... Iggy would have to support the notion, wouldn't he?

What do you think?
If we insist that in the modern world no nation ca be totally sovereign but that we must all give up some sovereingty to international law, then we should all abide by that and establish appropriate rules for all sides.
As for the US taking water from the Great Lakes, I'm not sure what to think. How much water are we talking about? What would be the impact? Any further details?

Yes, I also heard Harper was going to let PEI use the Great Lakes as a dump for spoiled potatoes. Huron should be completely filled in by 2043. The guy will do anything for the Green Gables vote.

Man, were's heading into dangerous times here. The US is hinting at building an underwater nuclear weapons facility under its side of the Great Lakes, intends to drain its side and dump all its sewage in it, and give what's left to China. Canada intends to build a wall in the middle to keep water on our side, dump Canada's sewage in it too, sell it off to China, and dump rotten potatoes in it. That'll make for interesting times.
