Anyways, If there's a third World War, it will be over oil. I can think of no resource (although the U.S. is starting to run out of water in some parts, but they'll just force Canada to start selling them ours) or cause that could lead to another world consuming war. |
The Great Lakes hold 1/5th of the world's fresh water supply.
I doubt the US or Canada are going to be seriously clamoring for water any time soon. The US southwest buys some water from Canada currently but if things became desperate, there are other sources to turn to.
