your reliance on the united states and the assumption that you'll always be protected by your big neighbouri'm mindful that a famous canadian liberal politician said "canada is a fireproof house far removed from all flammable materials. " you can't be so complacent anymore, can you, and the americans, your long—time allies and partners, are putting real pressure on you now. we had a senior american general saying that he's going to have tough conversations with canada, and we heard donald trump, when he was president, mocking justin trudeau for the failure of your government to spend enough on defence. the americans will force you to get real, won't they? well, stephen, i think you're kind of ignoring canada's long history of being there for our allies. canada was the first answer to britain's call in the second and in the first world war, most of the investments of the canadian armed forces have not been domestic, as you say, because we have the benefit of geography — we are surrounded by three oceans, one of which is mostly — has mostly been frozen, at least in the past, and we are — have

so, david, do they have a responsibility to other countries in some cases, not least their neighboursk we all have a responsibility towards our water supply. i think it should be thought of as a global commons. we think of it as a free commodity, something that is not to toil too much over because there's no cost to it. i would posit that the age of free water has come to an end. and david, let me end on this — on a personal level, because i'm kind of wondering, how did you become so passionate about water supply? as a national security professional one of myjobs has always been to look in the folds and in the gaps and to try to find the things that are outsized challenges in terms of national security that we're not thinking about. and when you look at water, that certainly qualifies as the number one, if not the most critical national security risk on the globe to global stability. this is an asset that without water in three days, your whole entire economy and all life ceases. i can't think of a greater concern for a nation than making sure that its water supply is secure and safe.
