The Fraser Institute published articles on how much profit opportunity was being lost by not exporting bulk water.
The Conservative Party of Canada went before the Privy Council with the position bulk export of water was okay under NAFTA. The resounding reply under the Liberal dominated Privy was NO!
The Conservatives said they would accept that and take it up with the courts. Nothing new since.
Both Democrats and Republicans say they will re open NAFTA.
What does this mean to you as an individual?
If the Conservatives deal NAFTA again, bulk water exports will be allowed. This makes water a commodity under NAFTA. As such, people in Canada must be charged the same for the water as those in the US. Your water bills just jumped 1000% in some areas. No more free water!
Alberta has petty well privatized all the water. When a NAFTA rule comes in they will soak Albertans beyond your imagination.
