Years ago (I don't remember which year) when the worlds fair was in New Orleans I was there on business and I spent a day at the fair. The theme for the fair was "Fresh Water of the World". Canada had a really nice pavilion, and they had a movie about Canada. I remembered two things from that movie. 1. Canada had 50% of the worlds fresh water running through it. 2. Every major city in Canada was built at the confluence of three rivers (due to the fur trade in the 1700's, and the only means of fast travel at that time was by water).
