    Oh good. Now Black Rock private equity can bribe our corrupt af federal government for it to use in their data centers. Surely this will go well!

    The part that would have been the river delta in Mexico looked incredibly different a century ago before major population growth in the western US. Mexico really got screwed not just in territory loss when they outlawed slavery and the US invaded to take the west (good ol’ Alamo)

    America made a huge mistake when they didn’t recognize the need for federal, local and Indigenous stakeholders to jointly manage pollution controls and decide who gets what .

    Canada isn’t the best but at least we have that.

    Freshwater management in Canada is a shared responsibility across four orders of government: federal, Indigenous, provincial or territorial, and regional or local. The information below outlines the authorities of the Canada Water Agency and Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC).

      The worst part about water management in Canada is that NAFTA/CUSMA inserted nasty clauses in it.

      A major US intent is to get access to Canada’s freshwater.
