This country is blessed with tons of lakes and rivers. Many of them have severely low water levels. Our prairie provinces fight drought seemingly every year.

There's a wildlife reserve I have to drive through to get to my home town from here. There are a large number of lakes that dot the landscape. I'll bet that if I drove there now, those lakes would look more like creeks.

It's tragic. I could be wrong, but it seems like the only way to get out of this is for those in power to implement solutions that benefit everyone, not just themselves or their friends.

As an example, planned obsolescence is something that would benefit everyone. I just had our air conditioner replaced, after getting 17 years of use from the previous unit. Like the washer and dryer, I wouldn't be surprised if this new unit will need changing in ten years, or days after the warranty expires.

I continue to do my best to help out. There's always room for improvement on my part.
