The process is called desalination, and it is being used more and more around the world to provide people with needed freshwater. Most of the United States has, or can gain access to, ample supplies of fresh water for drinking purposes. But, fresh water can be in short supply in some parts of the country (and world). And, as the population continues to grow, shortages of fresh water will occur more often, if only in certain locations. In some areas, salt water (from the ocean, for instance) is being turned into freshwater for drinking.<br />

So what the hell is the problem, America? Build processing plants...get to work!

Oops, wrong article.

"It's a little presumptuous for him (Day) to say who the United States can and cannot allow into our country," Wilkins told a news conference in the western city of Edmonton.

"Canadian officials would rightly never tolerate any American official dictating to them who they may or may not allow into their country. So we would simply say we respect Canadian officials and their decisions ... We would ask them to show us the same respect."

Let’s also remember that friends don’t criticize each other either according to Wilkins?

He seems to have trouble remembering his own actions or interventions on Canadian domestic and foreign policies, classifying Canada as a breading ground of terrorism due to Canada’s immigration policies, border security, constitution and charter of rights and freedoms and who Canada can sell its energy to, can we say Condi? Also, the U.S. Government recently applies U.S. law in Canada and to Canadian Arms workers and violating Canada’s laws.

He seems to have trouble remembering...<

Because it's not convenient. Canada was the ones who gave Arar's name to the Americans as a suspected terrorist. Now they tell the states they were wrong and the USA is to forget about it. Canada has to do a lot more convincing. Arar may have to accept that the USA is not a country that most want to be in right now. His problem is that the USA monitors the worlds travelers and will intercept anyplace, anywhere. Being "trapped" in Canada is not the worse thing to happen. The unfortunate thing about being in Canada, is the lack of protection from the government.

"Canadian officials would rightly never tolerate any American official dictating to them who they may or may not allow into their country"

Sure, but if Canada were to respect international law, it would return unwanted Americans back to the USA instead of putting them on secret torture flights to who knows where.

Of course, the Canadian government is neck deep in the wrong since they've been secretly supplying the Americans with false information on our fellow citizens. At least the Canadian government can claim that it had no part in the actual kidnapping and torture of Arar - then agin, we have no idea if there are any other Arar's that never came to light.

This whole charade of finger pointing would be funny if it were not true.

The US Administration would not tolerate it if the same was happening to one of their citizens nor does two wrongs make a right. Oh ha, we are talking about the US Government so it more then likely does.

It does make a mockery of freedom, justice and liberty for all? I think Canada as a whole better start re- thinking this so called relationship? Seems to me we are not on the same page any more on what is democracy, justice and human rights as well as sovereignty.

I am sure the American constitution only refers to their elite. Just ask the poor in the USA and they will verify that that they don't exist. In the capitalist system there are no poor, just the wealthy.
