BRITISH COLUMBIA TO RE-OPEN WATER EXPORTS
British Columbia Premier Christy Clark (shown in photo on left) and her environment Minister Mary Pollack (shown in photo on right) announced last week that a new Water Sustainability Act is being introduced in the British Columbia legislature to replace the 100 year old Water Act.
What was not revealed in the announcement or the press releases that accompanied the announcement is that the Water Sustainability Act makes important changes to the Water Protection Act, that was introduced in 1996 by the notorious Premier Glen Clark, a rabid anti-American left wing ideologue, who prohibited water exports to both the United States and Mexico as part of carefully orchestrated campaign to undermine the American economy. Glen Clark is widely believed to have been a stooge for the international communist forces allied against America.
Legal researchers advise that these changes will allow water to be "extracted" from a stream or river for the purposes of export from British Columbia.
For example, section 4 (1) (a) of the Water Protection Act, before the amendment, reads as follows:
Except for a registered licence, no licence, approval or permit under the Water Act, whether issued before, on or after the date this section comes into force, confers any right
(a) to drill for, divert, extract, use or store water for removal from British Columbia.
However, section 202 (b) of the Water Sustainability Act will remove the word "extract" from section 4 (1) (a) of the Water Protection Act thereby removing the prohibition and consequentially allowing licence holders to "extract" water from rivers and streams for the purpose of export from British Columbia.

Other changes to the Water Protection Act to be amended by the Water Sustainability Act will further enhance the capacity of licence holders to export fresh water such as the the change in the definition of "a large scale project" by deleting the words "or extract" from the definition.
These changes are in keeping with the continuing program of treaty agreements between Canada, Mexico and the United States followed by changes to national, state and provincial laws creating an overall legal framework that will allow for the orderly development of a huge water export industry delivering massive quantities of fresh water from Alaska and Canada to the southwest United States and northern Mexico.
These changes are viewed as a follow up by Premier Christy Clark on promises she made to key leaders in California during her recent visit to that state.

is there any way we can stop these changes and protect the right to not sell our water?
