    Thanks for positng hat Redhawk. It is a very interesting peice, hopefully the clean water act can hold strong. Its horrible on how allteh environmental laws are as they say " slowly being chipped away." We deff need some people that are more enviormental savy in congress. As a sticker that I picked up says, Less Bush, More Trees!

        H2o

        The Canadians are taking the issue of water much more seriously than America does. In a new political thriller, "H2O" starring and written by Paul Gross (of "Due South") the topic is the title. Read Gross' comments about "The Reality of Canadian Water Situation" on the CBC website: http://www.cbc.ca/h2o/ and follow the links to CBC's stories on the Selling of Canada's Water.

        This is not a new concern for Gross. RCMP Constable Benton Fraser, Gross' character in "Due South" "came to Chicago in pursuit of the killers of his father." His father, also a mountie, was killed by his supervisor because he got too close to the truth about a badly engineered dam that was drowning wildlife and threatening a First Nation village, but was too expensive to rebuild or repair, so Ottawa wanted to keep it covered up. The whole four-year series was built on the abuse of Canadian water resources.

        Remember that the Forest Preserve was originally created largely to protect New York's water supply.
