Too bad we’re knee deep in massive bloodshed and war-mongering, or we could invade Canada.

For their wisdom and water.

Sorry. I didn’t have enough time.

Kinda amazing we manage to get water to all those people isn’t it?

It’s not like they pissed off most of the country by making it impossible to buy anything but low-flow toilets decades ago. It’s not like we’ve got one of the most efficient water purification and reclamation systems in the world (little hint, you might ask those Canadian engineers who’s system they modeled theirs after).

Before you go ripping into the U.S., take a minute to engage the logic centers of your brain. We are the 3rd largest nation in land area in the world, after Russia and Canada. We are third in population after China and India. There are 300 million people in the U.S., Canada has 33,394,000. So your country is bigger than ours, and you have 1/10th the people. There are nearly as many people in the state of California alone.

You have massive fresh water lakes, pure glaciers, and tons of fresh water rivers. We have no glaciers outside of Alaska. Also, many of our water-rich states are required to subsidize states that are largely inhospitable desert. You think they produce much water in Arizona, Utah, Texas, New Mexico, ect.? Canada doesn’t have that problem.

Moral of all this? We provide far more people with water with fewer resources. I’d call that efficiency, not gluttony.

I’m sorry if you think there is only one meaning to the word funny.

No need to apologize. You qualify for more than one.

Yes your government has RECENTLY started doing something about your water crisis. In reality they should have done something about it years ago. You know, before it became a crisis. And as you may have water protection in place, it has come very late and is not as strong as it should be. Believe it or not, in this area, the states has much room for improvement.

I’m sorry if you think there is only one meaning to the word funny. Very, very sorry.

…”You know what is funny? There seems to be nothing in place in the states for long-term water conservation!”

You’re right! That is funny! I guess it’s gotta be in the right context.
