POLITICAL DENIAL FROM OUTSIDE CANADA
Like so many things Trump says it would be laughable if it were not so ridiculous!
In my memoir, page 106 I wrote:
"In one of my letter-writing campaigns to all members of parliament (MPs), I suggested that they vote in favour of the United Nations’ declaration that safe drinking water is a basic human right. Why did Canada, among other developed countries, abstain from voting to recognize the resolution? Only one MP, Peter McKay, replied. He explained he would not sign the declaration in case the United States put demands on Canada for access to our source waters when states like Nevada were “dry.” At least he responded."
