Farmers in the desert southwest are always eyeing the Great Lakes.

Canada though has the U.S. as it's only border neighbor, we have the Great Lakes in between the two nations, so. Even if the U.S. needed more water in the west, it offer money for it. You'd just be looking at another income source.

It's not just the great lakes. Canada is littered with freshwater lakes. If memory serves me right, we own 3/4 of the world's freshwater lakes.

You better keep on eye on those lakes. Them water smugglers are sneaky rascals.

Saw this piece on CNN. Not sure how accurate the reporting is, but I do know there's severe water shortage where I live in India. In summer, many apartment buildings pay good money to have water hauled in. The scary thing is, I see the US on the map of nations facing acute water shortage by 2040! Many poorer nations and people may not be able to afford to do that. What do you folks think?

All the more reason to reduce global population (of humans that is).

Canada, America and Mexico are already unionized; the political uproar and dehumanization 2.0 of ethnic people is the way governments get the people conditioned to accept what is already a reality. It's like when you let your child cry itself out when s/he finds out "things are gonna change..."

Having said that, you don't have to worry about the military. If I was a government entity, I would let people's prejudices and greed take care of them problem; i would provide the benevolent enforcement solution while I exploit people's latent need to discriminate.

In other words, you will have to worry about your PEERS, not government, when this happens. Government will exploit the situation by exploiting the mind of its citizens, and getting them to beg for their demise as usual.

So if I deliver a crate full of water bottles, would I be some kind of drug mule kind or something?

Yes.

If it get to that point, chances are government will have regulations on amount and travel of such goods - for the betterment and protection of the citizen of course. Besides, water is sold; in come cities you can't even give a homeless person a case of water.

Let them drink Coca-Cola.

Ironically, in those same cities I alluded to, it is LEGAL to give drinks like coke or Gatorade to homeless. Bottled water is problemtic.

Funny, but you might wish to blur out the swear words.
