As climate change brings cataclysmic shifts to normal life patterns all across the globe, Canada’s fresh water remains an existential resource. …I reflected on this… upon learning that the Colorado River and other major US river systems are facing record-low levels, amounting to a potential crisis for domestic consumption, agricultural irrigation and hydroelectric generation. Given the capricious envy and unpredictability of US President Trump, it would be no surprise if our water became the next target of his aggression. Thanks to a visionary Canadian, the protection of our water — that all-precious resource and generational blessing — is safeguarded by statute into the future. As climate change brings cataclysmic shifts to normal life patterns all across the globe… fresh water remains that existential resource that ensures sustenance of life. We should strive to preserve it for those who will follow.
