It’s obtained a pure move from Canada all the best way up north of water, extra water than they may ever use. And with a purpose to shield a tiny little fish, the water up north will get routed into the Pacific Ocean. Hundreds of thousands and hundreds of thousands of gallons of water will get poured…
