The reason being is that once we give permission to sell our water (and you can't touch any Great Lakes water without it being part Canadian) south of the border NAFTA cuts in and makes it impossible for any province to then say no you can't come here and buy our water. It would turn Canada's fresh water supply - approx 1/3 of the world's - into a commodity and every Canadian citizen would then have to pay world prices for their water. There would be revolution in the streets if that happened and I don't doubt a few assassinations political or otherwise, it would be like cancelling our national healthcare plan.
