Federal government needs to mandate Canadian water supplies are preserved for Canadians.

Any province that doesn’t play along loses their federal transfer payments in 2-3x the amount of excess water exports they permit.

I don’t have a problem selling excess we don’t need. Preferably above oil prices.

Tell me how that works for BC, who’s a net positive for transfer payments and is the source of the Columbia River whose water system travels through three states after leaving BC?

I guess we could dam the river and sell it all to the yanks. Better than oil money.

Er… the Columbia river basin already has 274 dams. Another isn’t going to do too much, unless you’re thinking of flooding all of BC between the Rockies and the Cascades….
