The Fraser institute took positions on the amount of money we corporations) were loosing by not exporting bulk water. The Conservative Party of Canada went before the Privy Council of Canada to make a case on the export of bulk water under NAFTA. The resounding reply to them was NO! Not allowed.
The Conservative party of Canada accepted this saying they would take it up with the courts. Nothing more on that since.
The Democrats in the US say they want to open NAFTA again. No matter which party gets in, NAFTA will be renegociated.
If bulk water is allowed for export it becomes a commodity under NAFTA. As such we cannot charge the US more than we pay. To get the most money for export (like electricity) they have to boost the amount we pay. Bottom line is: If the Conservatives get in at all you will be paying California prices for your water! Consider that many in Calgary pay nothing it will be a shock to your system!
Calgary's news is right wing to extreme and they fail to put forward a balanced picture and refuse to do any meaningful research into their subjects. To this end I will offer up details of the news of interest to Calgary and Southern Alberta.
