Even if logistical challenges were met, political, legal, and environmental hurdles remain significant. Canada’s Transboundary Waters Protection Act, passed by Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s government in 2013, amended the International Boundary Waters Treaty Act to prohibit the bulk removal of transboundary waters.

How might Canada respond?
If Trump makes good on his designs to grab Canadian fresh water, how would Canada respond?
With the high probability of the Conservatives winning the next election, the decision whether to rebuff Trump or to grant bulk water exports to the U.S. could be in the hands of Pierre Poilievre.
Brace yourself."
