Water export bans all wet
About 80,000 cubic meters of fresh water flows out of Canada every second and into the ocean or across the border. Taking some small part of it and selling it for a good price hardly seems high treason. After all, every barrel of oil and pound of zinc Canada produces and sells is gone forever. Yet those businesses are perfectly respectable, while realizing some economic benefit from a properly managed renewable resource like water, is today thought to be profoundly unCanadian.
