Lots, of fresh rivers in Venezuela,
You just need to be quick to avoid the Parana’s.
That’s Piranha’s for those north of the Equator.
If you have access to the sea and an abundant supply of fossil fuels you should be able to set up a desalination plant or two. Or have an English or German engineering firm build one for you like they do for the Arabs.
Venezuela and Cuba are proof that tropical paradises can be turned into have-not countries where food & water are rationed thanks to the miracle of central planning by socialist and communist governments.
And, that is the utopia that Mulcair, et al want here.
Because sooner or later they run out of other people’s money to spend, errrr water to drink.
Something like that.
Wait a minute Daddy always paid my parking/speeding/vomit clean up/ costs. Now let’s go to the next happening weed/love-in/ anarchy or whatever. I still have my singluler-university degree on the particular benefits of being a feminist/metro-sexual/marxist/weight-watcher shtick.
cheers;
Venezuela has at its disposal about 2.5x the fresh water supply per person as the USA. it isn’t that they’re “out of water”.
It’s that they’re out of non socialist people that know what they’re doing to ensure the water is safe to drink. http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/ER.H2O.INTR.PC
A quick view of this translation / explanation of how the current constitution of Venezuela views water is all that’s really needed… it’s now a “public good” and as always, now nobody’s responsible for those rights, they’re given to you in the constitution. Just open the pages in the constitution, and water pours onto your feet. http://www.loc.gov/law/help/water-law/venezuela.php
uff.
AS we all know it ends with mass graves. Socialism is only good for the worms.
Marc – so you’re saying that the imported experts from Walkerton can’t guarantee safe drinking water? It must be Harris’ fault. They’ll have to hire watchers to watch the watchers who watch the sampling process. When all else fails, add another level of government oversight. It always lowers operating costs.
No personal accountability is allowed, though.
I didn’t bring up the Walkerton affair, did anyone else?
I don’t know what happened to cause the Walkerton affair. As it didn’t happen all over the province, leads me to think that whatever happened in Walkerton, wasn’t the fault of someone (Harris) that set standards for the entire province. That this was a localized problem. Unless of course, the Harris gov’t set the standards for Walkerton, and set different standards for the rest of the province.
I’m not suggesting that another level of oversight is needed, “to hire watchers to watch the watchers…” as you’ve said.
I don’t know if you’re being sarcastic, or something else. I don’t know if you’re implying that Harris was a socialist, as Kate’s headline, “Great Moments in Socialism” is directed at, and as my comment was directed at socialismo, I’m guessing that Harris isn’t the one I’m not pleased at.
So, I’m going to eat dinner now, because I do know what I’m having for dinner.
Ok, I’m going with, “that’s got to be sarcasm” I take my unfunny spot above back.
and apologies… for my not “getting your sarc/”
Venezuelan Prostitutes Earn More Selling Dollars Than Sex
By Anatoly Kurmanaev Jun 9, 2014
Prostitution has become the only boom industry in Venezuela’s biggest port. The Blue House brothel is clean and well-kept, with a patio and kitchen where women get three meals a day. Outside, the squares and cobbled streets of the colonial center stand in ruins, with the smell of sewage pervading the piles of garbage. …
Prostitutes more than double their earnings by moonlighting as currency traders in Puerto Cabello. They are the foreign exchange counter for sailors in a country where buying and selling dollars in the streets is a crime — and prostitution isn’t. Greenbacks in the black market are worth 11 times more than the official rate as dollars become more scarce in an economy that imports 70 percent of the goods it consumes. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-06-09/venezuela-prostitutes-earn-more-selling-dollars-than-sex.html

Yeah well Venezuela is another Mugabbeland.
Venezuela has those humungous oil fields which due to lack of maintenance produce less and less….like Zimbabwe now needs international food aid.
During WW2, Canada and the US East Coast were dependant upon ocean tankers to bring Texas AND Venezuelan oil….American tankers would join RCN escorted convoys after the US embargoed shipping due to Uboat attacks. The US embarked on a crash programe of building rail tank cars and pipelines…finaly US Admiral King relented, took over Lockheed Hudsons (ordered by Britain) and bought Canadian built corvettes. Point being….Venezuela was a major oil producer perhaps equal to Texas…
This latest gaff…Venezuela has the Orinoco River, a watershed the size of the Great Lakes(in mass flow), nearly all to itself. Google Orinoco River….
