What silly, alarmist nonsense. Canada has more lakes (~ 3 million, including the massive Great Lakes) than any other country, with a population of ~35 million. By and large the water quality in these lakes is very good. Lakes drying up - has Renzetti been close to Lake Ontario recently - at close to record high levels? Climate change? Where on Earth does she think the Great Lakes came from? This article bears all the hallmarks of ignorance and alarmism. Surprised that she didn't blame Trump for this non-problem. Wonder where she got the idea for this article - at a Toronto lefty cocktail party?
