I'll leave you to reach your own conclusion:Canada has 20% of the entire world's supply of freshwater.But hey, on the other hand, that little global warming problem will be creating a lot of more.
...
About 1.5 billion people around the globe lack freshwater. In about 20 years demand for freshwater will exceed supply by 56 percent.
...
"in 1997 the United Nations concluded that the best—perhaps the only—way to get water to them was through a system of international markets and trade."
Oh. That's right.
That will be saltwater.

They won't miss the water, I promise you. Coming from Australia, I go crazy turning taps off and fixing drips. Water is out lifeblood, but so easily just wasted.
I can get off my soapbox now - thanks.
