thanks to CBC radio for clarifying, on World Water Day today, that Jim Prentice does not think water should be a human right.
The clip i heard just now has Prentice saying that if water is a human right, 'have' countries would be obligated to export it, and remove it from watersheds. Nonsense. There is no legal justification for his statements. Prentice is trying to spin his way out of protecting water, while allowing it to be treated as a corporate service and investment, vulnerable under the 'Conservative' public-private partnership funding model and investment deals to exploitation by private finance. Prentice's projected global water 'quality' testing model, no doubt P3'd as well, will give a handle to the financiers who wrecked the economy to control global water services.
Why doesn't the CBC interview rabble allies on this issue, on this day ????

Interviewing Jim Prentice about World Water Day is like interviewing David Duke on MLK day.
Running out of water...
sock puppet, i haven't seen the video at your link but I note that the article references the World Water Council. The WWC is one of the corporate-financier led groups. The biggest water profiteers on the planet run it and they are expert greenwashers. they attack protesters and deprive nature and people of an element necessary for life. just fyi.
Jingles: Ha!
