          America wants our water: Kennedy



*By THE CANADIAN PRESS, Calgary Sun, May 23, 2008*



PETERBOROUGH, Ont. -- Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says Canadians should be

seriously concerned about Americans who want to steal Canada's water.



Kennedy is in Peterborough, Ont., today to deliver a speech at a Great

Lakes conference, and in an interview with The Canadian Press, he warned

Canadians that their water is at risk.



He says the United States is just beginning to experience a severe water

crisis, and a common solution being cited is to gain access to Canadian

water.



Kennedy says every Canadian should be petitioning their government

representatives to toughen the rules on water protection.



He also says Canada and the U.S. both have good environmental laws, but

the major problem is they are not being properly enforced.



Kennedy says Prime Minister Stephen Harper is not a friend of the

environment, and criticized him for opting out of the Kyoto Protocol and

slamming the idea of a carbon tax.
