In 2005, former Alberta Premier Peter Lougheed told a Canadian Club of Calgary gathering that the United States would want our water, and we need to be prepared.

“We should not export our fresh water; we need it, and we should conserve it. We should communicate to the United States very quickly how firm we are about it,” Lougheed said.

Water will become more valuable than oil, he predicted.

Twenty years later, Lougheed’s words seem wiser than ever.

While campaigning last September in California, Donald Trump told a press conference that the U.S. should look north to solve its water woes.
