Canada is in secret talks with the United States that could lead to the bulk export of water south of the border, Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion charges."The pressure coming from our American friends to remove Canadian water to help their problems with the shortage of fresh water is very strong," Dion told a news conference yesterday.
"There is a strong lobby for that. We should be strong to resist that."
Dion rejected the denials of senior government officials and insisted yesterday that he has inside knowledge that "negotiations" are underway.
And his source is unimpeachable: He's been talking to Jean Chretien's imaginary homeless friend.
