Canadian water sovereignty in the spotlight as U.S. pauses Columbia River Treaty talks
Tricia Stadnyk, the Canada research chair on hydrologic modelling from the University of Calgary, says Canada has had a long history of water conflicts and negotiations with the U.S., but Canadians are right to be cautious about the change in tone from and intent of the Trump administration. She tells BC Today host Michelle Eliot that the Columbia River Treaty is still in effect as negotiations are paused, but Donald Trump's comments about revising Canada-U.S. boundaries add a new level of seriousness to the conflict.
