One must remember that people in California are really not that bright. Only a state that has rolling black outs would make every one buy an electric car.
I know people from Washington State have always said "no" to the idea of water from the state going to California. I don't remember if anything official was actually done, but it was a big talking point in the 70's and 80's.
The only Great Lake available for water rerouting is Lake Michigan as the others are all part of Canadian regulations as well as US regulations. Even Lake Michigan is debatable since water from Canada flows into it indirectly.
Umm, Thomas Mulcair hasn't been the leader of the federal NDP for close to a decade?!?!?! And the NDP has never formed - or even come close to forming - government! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Mulcair
I would take this article more seriously if you had written a proper update for your readers explaining how the state of current Canadian politics has changed? The federal conservatives are the official opposition and if anyone might challenge the current Liberal party to form government, it would be them - it's lazy journalism to rehash an argument from close to a decade ago without reexamining the current context for your readers... especially folks south of the border who have little to no understanding of our politics or form of government.
Where does that water go now? And why would the benefits it brings now not be noticed after a dam is built? Additionally, why cater to glutenous American consumption? "Embrace sufficiency."
It is just a matter of time before the US “invades” one way or the other. No one will come to our rescue. The Borg will absorb us.

I am not certain that the American government under certain administrations has much respect for Canadian regulations.

It was a republishing of a 10 year old post, I said so right at the top. Any update would depend on what happens next week in the US.
